U.S. Officials Say America Will Withdraw All Troops from Syria
央视记者当地时间2月18日获悉，三位美国官员透露称，美国将从叙利亚撤出其约1000名驻军，这将结束在该国长达十年的军事行动。
其中两位官员表示，美军已于本月初完成了从位于叙利亚、约旦和伊拉克三国交界处的战略要地——坦夫驻军以及叙利亚东北部的沙达迪基地的撤军。官员们还表示，美军将在未来两个月内从剩余的驻军地点撤离。
官员们表示，此次撤军与美国目前在中东部署海空军以应对伊朗核谈判破裂后可能对其发动的打击无关。伊朗威胁称，如果美国发动空袭，伊朗将对驻扎在该地区的美国军队进行报复。美国已在伊朗海岸集结了一支庞大的舰队，包括一个航母打击群、先进的喷气式战斗机和其他军舰。第二艘航母“杰拉尔德·R·福特”号正驶向伊朗。两位美国官员表示，由于库尔德人领导的叙利亚民主力量几乎完全解散，特朗普政府已决定美国不再有必要在叙利亚保持军事存在。
2014年9月，美国召集多国组建打击“伊斯兰国”国际联盟，对叙利亚和伊拉克境内“伊斯兰国”目标实施空袭。2015年，美国开始在叙驻军。据悉，目前叙境内的美军大多部署在东北部，与“叙利亚民主力量”武装驻扎在一起，少数驻扎在叙南部的坦夫基地。（央视记者 曹健）
