美国中央司令部周四表示,美军已撤离叙利亚一个战略军事基地,这是美国在该国逐步缩小军事存在的“蓄意且基于条件的过渡”的一部分,至此美军在叙利亚的部署已持续十余年。
驻阿尔坦夫基地的美军主要作为联合特遣部队-固有决心行动的一部分,专注于打击极端组织“伊斯兰国”(ISIS)。五角大楼2025年4月宣布,在2019年ISIS在叙领土被击败后,将开始整合在叙军事力量。
“随着我们支持伙伴主导的防止恐怖网络复兴的努力,美军仍随时准备对该地区出现的任何ISIS威胁做出回应,”中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀海军上将在声明中表示,“对ISIS保持压力对保护美国本土和加强地区安全至关重要。”
叙利亚国防部周四发表声明称,其军队已与美国协调,接管了阿尔坦夫基地。
美国官员一直大力支持叙利亚新总统艾哈迈德·沙拉(Ahmed Al-Sharaa),因其政府在2024年12月成功推翻巴沙尔·阿萨德后,正努力巩固对叙利亚的控制权。沙拉此前曾领导过美国认定的恐怖组织,直至最近仍被悬赏1000万美元通缉,但他正试图将原混乱的抵抗力量转变为国家治理机构。
2025年12月,ISIS在帕尔米拉发动伏击,造成两名爱荷华州国民警卫队士兵和一名美国翻译死亡。袭击发生后,美国官员承诺继续专注于打击该地区的ISIS。根据一份声明,就在上周,中央司令部部队“使用固定翼、旋翼和无人飞机投放的50枚精确制导弹药,摧毁了一个ISIS通信站点、关键后勤节点和武器储存设施”。
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,叙利亚军队目前由不同背景、极端主义观点和所属关系的武装人员组成。但特朗普政府明确表示支持沙拉作为叙利亚新领导人,称其极端主义关联已成为过去,并强调他在打击地区ISIS方面的合作。
2025年11月,沙拉成为首位访问白宫的叙利亚国家元首。“他是一位非常强大的领导人,”唐纳德·特朗普总统当时对记者表示,称沙拉“是个来自艰苦地区的硬汉”。此次访问发生在美国部分解除对叙利亚制裁之后,标志着两国关系的重大转变。
US military pulls last troops from key military facility in Syria

US military forces have departed a strategic military garrison in Syria after more than a decade “as part of a deliberate and conditions-based transition” to a smaller US footprint in the country, US Central Command said on Thursday.
The US troops at al-Tanf garrison had primarily been focused on anti-ISIS efforts as part of Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. The Pentagon announced in April 2025 that it would begin consolidating its presence in Syria following the territorial defeat of ISIS in 2019.
“U.S. forces remain poised to respond to any ISIS threats that arise in the region as we support partner-led efforts to prevent the terrorist network’s resurgence,” CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said in a statement. “Maintaining pressure on ISIS is essential to protecting the U.S.
homeland and strengthening regional security.”
Syria’s defense ministry said in a statement on Thursday that its army has now taken control of al-Tanf in coordination with the United States.
US officials have heavily invested in supporting Syria’s new president, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, as his government has worked to secure control over Syria following its successful effort to overthrow Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. Al-Sharaa previously led a US-designated terrorist group and until recently had a $10 million US bounty on his head but has attempted to transition what had been a hodgepodge resistance force into a governing authority in the country.
An ISIS ambush in Palmyra in December killed two Iowa Army National Guard soldiers and an American interpreter. Following the attack US officials pledged a continued focus on targeting ISIS in the region, and as recently as last week CENTCOM forces “located and destroyed an ISIS communication site, critical logistics node, and weapons storage facilities with 50 precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft,” according to a statement.
Syria’s military forces are currently made up of an array of fighters from different backgrounds and with varying extremist views and affiliations, CNN has reported. But the Trump administration has made clear that it backs Al-Sharaa as Syria’s new leader, painting his extremist ties as a thing of the past and emphasizing his partnership in targeting ISIS in the region.
In November, Al-Sharaa became the first Syrian head of state to visit the White House. “He’s a very strong leader,” President Donald Trump told reporters at the time, calling Al-Sharaa “a tough guy from a tough place.” The visit came after the US partially lifted sanctions on Syria, marking a major shift in relations between the two countries.
