The US administration has taken steps to ease sanctions on Syria.

PERMISSION GRANTED UNTIL JULY 7

In this context, the US Department of the Treasury has issued a new license to ensure the continuation of essential services in Syria. The license published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) allows for non-commercial, personal financial transactions, including activities supporting the sale, supply, storage, or donation of energy, including oil, petroleum products, natural gas, and electricity to or within the country, as well as transactions conducted through the Central Bank of Syria, until July 7.

SUPPORTING THE SYRIAN PEOPLE IN BUILDING A SAFER AND MORE PEACEFUL FUTURE

In a statement from the ministry, it was noted that the license issued after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024, emphasizes the US commitment to implementing its sanctions in a manner that does not hinder activities aimed at meeting basic humanitarian needs, providing public services, or delivering humanitarian aid. The statement highlighted that due to the Assad regime's cruelty towards the Syrian people, its support for terrorism, and actions that undermine stability in the region, Syria is one of the most comprehensively sanctioned countries. It was expressed that the aim is to support the Syrian people in building a more hopeful, secure, and peaceful future by ensuring the continuity of essential services and governance functions across the country, including electricity, energy, water, and sanitation, through the provided sanctions exemptions.

SANCTIONS ON HTS REMAIN IN PLACE

The statement indicated that the mentioned license does not lift sanctions on Assad and his circle, the Syrian Government, the Central Bank of Syria, and Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

"THE END OF THE ASSAD REGIME OFFERS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR RECONSTRUCTION FOR SYRIA AND ITS PEOPLE"

US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo stated in his assessment of the issue, "The end of Bashar al-Assad's brutal and oppressive regime, supported by Russia and Iran, offers a unique opportunity for reconstruction for Syria and its people." Adeyemo added, "During this transitional period, the Treasury will continue to support humanitarian aid and responsible governance in Syria."
