US withdraws 1,000 troops from Syria, shifts military strategy

The U.S. is withdrawing about 1,000 troops from Syria, including from Tanef and Shaddadi, as part of a broader shift in military strategy. Command centers are shutting down and aircraft and Marines are being redeployed, though counter-ISIS operations may continue from outside Syria. The move suggests reduced direct involvement in the region, with markets interpreting it as a lower risk of U.S. conflict with Iran.
