The United States has removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a designation that had previously hindered investment in the country. This action also led to the revocation of the global terrorist designation for the Al-Nusra Front, also known as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham. Following these changes, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea remain the only countries designated by Washington as state sponsors of terrorism. The US State Department emphasized that this move does not alter its commitment to combating global terrorism or holding accountable those involved in harmful activities within Syria. AI
