Tonight’s lifting of sanctions against Syria by the U.S. Treasury Department also lifts all sanctions imposed by the United States on Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, who previously served as the commander and deputy commander of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Rumors are that al-Sharaa and Khattab, as well as HTS itself, will be removed in the coming weeks from the list of foreign terrorists and foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.

The Pentagon Press Association has just released a scathing statement against today’s updated physical control measures imposed on reporters covering the Pentagon by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth:
“There is no way to sugarcoat it. Today’s memo by Secretary Hegseth appears to be a direct attack on the freedom of the press and America’s right to know what its military is doing.
The Pentagon Press Association is extremely concerned by the decision to restrict movement of accredited journalists within the Pentagon through non-secured, unclassified hallways.
The decision is purportedly based on concerns about operational security. But the Pentagon Press Corps has had access to non-secured, unclassified spaces in the Pentagon for decades, under Republican and Democratic administrations, including in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, without any concern about OP-SEC from DoD leadership.
And this decision does not come in a vacuum: It follows the unprecedented move by the Defense Department this year to evict many of America’s largest news organizations from their dedicated workspaces. Journalists working from the Pentagon everyday will now have less freedom of movement than officers from foreign countries who are assigned to the U.S. military’s headquarters, as well as maintenance staff and concessions workers scattered throughout one of the world’s largest office buildings.
This decision eliminates the media’s freedom to freely access press officers for the military services who are specifically hired to respond to press queries.
We would welcome any serious conversation about operational security in the Pentagon with reporters, many of whom have embedded with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere and who have followed the U.S. military’s ground rules without fail throughout their careers. No such conversation has been offered by Secretary Hegseth or his team, despite regular outreach from PPA that has sought to keep in place a professional working relationship that has persisted for decades.
The PPA is also concerned by the memo’s promises of additional security measures to come that appear set to further limit our ability to cover the Pentagon.
Lastly, the PPA is puzzled why the DoD is devoting such attention to restricting Pentagon media instead of engaging with it as senior leaders have long done, including Secretary Hegseth’s failure to brief the press in the briefing room in his first 100 days.”
