After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, US sanctions against the Arab republic are no longer justified. This was stated by the interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. "US sanctions are no longer justified in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad," Al Jazeera quotes him as saying.
According to al-Sharaa, there is an international consensus on the need to lift sanctions against Syria.
In late November 2024, armed opposition groups launched a large-scale offensive against the positions of the Syrian army. On December 8, they entered Damascus, after which government forces left the city.
Bashar al-Assad resigned as president of Syria and left the country.
