'BIDEN IS COMMITTED TO KEEPING ITS SOLDIERS IN SYRIA'

According to the news in Anadolu, "We have less than a thousand soldiers in Syria, and they are still pursuing this active and critical network (DEAS), even though they are greatly reduced." That's why US troops will remain on duty in Syria, Kirby said, adding that Biden was "absolutely determined" to keep US troops in Syria.

Kirby also talked about the possibility of additional responses, if Biden deems it necessary, to the attacks by Iranian-backed militia groups on US personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria on March 23.

“We showed here this week that the United States will always act decisively to protect our people.” Coordinator Kirby emphasized that this message was sent “loudly and clearly” to the addressee.

According to the information obtained by the Anadolu correspondent from local sources, rocket attacks were carried out on the Omer oil and Kuniko gas fields, where the US forces are stationed, from the regions where Iran-backed foreign terrorist groups are present in Syria's Deir ez-Zor province on March 25.
