Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander. The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc

'Iran's Next Target U.S Bases In Middle East': Iran FM Araghchi Says U.S Will Pay For.... | Watch

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made explosive allegations against the United States, claiming Washington aided Israel’s recent deadly strikes on Iranian territory, including its nuclear facilities. Citing “solid evidence,” Araghchi accused American bases in the region of facilitating the Israeli attacks and stressed that the US must accept accountability. With President Trump’s own remarks suggesting US-supplied arms enabled the strikes, Araghchi warned of consequences. He insisted Iran is exercising legitimate self-defense and stressed that Iran does not seek war—unless forced into one. #IranIsraelConflict #Araghchi #USComplicity #IsraelStrikes #NuclearTensions #MiddleEastWar #TrumpIsrael #IranNuclearSite #NatanzAttack #USBases #ZionistRegime #SelfDefense #InternationalLaw #UNFailure #TehranSpeech #IranDiplomacy #StopTheWar #IAEA #AmericanAggression #IsraeliViolations Also Read Adani's Haifa port unaffected by Iranian missile strikes, operations normal: sources :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/gautam-adani-haifa-port-unharmed-by-iranian-attack-012-4182461.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Embassy In Iran Shares Helpline Numbers, Telegram Link For Indians Amid Tensions In Middle East :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-embassy-in-iran-shares-helpline-numbers-telegram-link-for-indians-residing-there-4182377.html?ref=DMDesc How Strong Are Iran's Defence Forces?

Israel New War Game? Tehran Rocked By 5 Car Bomb Blasts | Cars STANDSTILL on Highway As People Run

Five massive car bomb explosions rocked Tehran, Iran’s capital, just hours after Iran launched another missile salvo at Israel. Iranian media immediately blamed Israel for the coordinated attack, marking a major escalation in the regional conflict. Reports claim at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated by Israeli forces since Friday. Meanwhile, Trump has called for peace talks, urging Iran and Israel to "make a deal."
