The United States will take about 1,000 soldiers out of Syria. This will happen in the next few months. This is a change in what the US is doing. There are problems in the Middle East. Syria will now fight terrorists there. US officials say soldiers are not needed in Syria.
This ends a big mission that started in 2015. The soldiers are leaving in an orderly way. This means they will leave when things are right. US forces left two bases earlier this year. The US military said it left one base last week. The remaining soldiers should leave in about two months.
Syria said it will fight terrorists. So, US soldiers are less important. But there are problems between the US and Iran. The US is also sending more military to the Middle East. This is a warning to Iran. Some think the US military may attack Iran.
This change is big. It ends a 10-year mission. Syria has had a long war. The US will still watch for danger. The US Navy is also near Iran. A big ship is already there. Another ship is coming. The US is active. It is changing its plan. It is moving from Syria to the Persian Gulf. This is because of Iran.
