US EditionReport: US Plans Military Base in Damascus to Monitor Possible Syria-Israel Pact
- The United States is preparing to establish a military presence at a Damascus airbase, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, to help enable a security pact Washington is brokering between Syria and Israel.
- A Syrian source said Washington is pressing to finalise a deal before year-end after talks aimed for a United Nations General Assembly announcement in September hit a last-minute snag.
- Western military officials said reconnaissance missions concluded the long runway at the Damascus airbase was ready for immediate use, while a security guard reported American C-130 aircraft landing as part of 'tests'.
- Two Syrian military sources outlined technical talks on logistics, surveillance, refueling and humanitarian operations, saying Syria retains full sovereignty; sources said U.S. personnel timing is unclear amid Pentagon troop cuts to 1,000.
- The plan mirrors U.S. presences in Lebanon and Israel, with CENTCOM saying Cooper and Barrack met Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, aiming to support Trump's `vision of a prosperous Middle East and a stable Syria.
