America Establishes a New Military Outpost in Damascus, Adding to Its Criminal Hotspots in the Region

Reuters reported on November 6, 2025, citing six informed sources, including Western officials and a Syrian defense official, that the United States is preparing to establish a military presence at an air base in or near the Syrian capital, Damascus, as part of a new plan overseen by the administration of US President Donald Trump. According to the sources, the aim of this military presence is to help monitor and facilitate the implementation of a comprehensive security agreement currently being negotiated between Syria and the Jewish entity with US mediation.

This step is one of the most dangerous decisions taken after the fall of the defunct regime and one of the most threatening to the constants of the revolution and to the security and interests of the people of the country. It is not just a blatant and direct challenge to the sovereignty of the state, but rather a disregard for the sacrifices of the people of the revolution that cannot be forgiven. How did the negotiating parties dare to take such a decision, sign it, or accept it?! To open the land to the criminality and filth of the Americans and the essence of their hatred?!

Moreover, simply announcing the aim of establishing the base is an acknowledgment of rushing towards normalization under the names of "security agreements," amidst a torrent of "Trumpian" statements that there are many countries that will join the "Abraham Accords," which Trump had previously called on Ahmed Al-Shar'a, in Saudi Arabia, to join the choir of normalizers through the gateway of "Abraham Accords"!

The region is already witnessing the spread of the epidemic of American bases in the lands of Islam, which have never been a source of stability, but rather platforms for continuous attacks on Muslims, killing, tearing them apart, and abusing them. The history of these bases is black and stained with our blood in many arenas, from Afghanistan to Iraq, Libya, and Sudan, and even in Syria. Bases that bring nothing but destruction and the actions of colonialism, from oppression, killing, and massacres.

And frankly, how did you dare to give this decision?! Have you forgotten the constants of the revolution that arose and called for lifting foreign hegemony and intervention?! Was not the Friday of "America, Has Your Hatred Not Had Enough of Our Blood?" Friday, October 19, 2012 AD, one of the most political positions taken by the people of Al-Sham in their revolution, decisive, firm, and differentiating between right and wrong?!

This attempt to impose an American military presence under the guise of "monitoring" is a betrayal of the constants of the revolution, and a mark of shame on the forehead of those who agreed to it or facilitated this arrangement.

O people of the revolution and its incubator, O you who revolted against the criminal regime, the tool of America, and raised slogans with which you revealed the true supporter of the defunct regime: Declare it frankly, openly challenging this decision: This base is not a so-called "monitoring facility," but rather a prelude to a great danger and an imminent evil that seeks to consolidate the criminal American influence on our land and enable the Jews so that their word prevails over us, and weaken the prestige and hegemony of the state so that it remains united in its appearance and torn apart in its content as long as America, in coordination with the Jewish entity, seeks to sow the seeds of division and disunity, even in an unannounced manner.

Say it in your loudest voice: This step violates all the constants of the revolution that called for rejecting Western tutelage and foreign influence.

It is the duty of every free person, revolutionary, and zealous for the sacrifices of the people of the revolution and for the blood of Muslims that was shed with the care and blessing of America to stand as one to prevent the establishment of any permanent foreign presence, especially America, because this presence is a hotbed of hegemony, killing, and destruction in our lands, so the influence of countries in our land is absolutely rejected.

 Justifying this act under any pretext is nothing but a justification for a great evil and a heinous crime, and a prelude to an endless series of shameful concessions, from whose evil even those who do it will not be spared, thinking that they are doing good.

Let the decision-makers currently in Damascus know that American, international, and global satisfaction is not free, but it has a great price from our religion, sovereignty, and dignity, and the disbelieving West has announced this price, at the top of which is joining the "war on terror" coalition, which, according to the Western concept, only means fighting political Islam and everyone who calls for its return represented by a state that governs by it and carries the call of Islam to the worlds, and this is the focus of their fear, attention, and awareness. They know this very well and are aware of it, so do we not realize these dangers and proceed in our behavior based on these stark political and ideological facts?!

Allah Almighty said: ﴿AND DO NOT INCLINE TOWARD THOSE WHO DO WRONG, LEST YOU BE TOUCHED BY THE FIRE, AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE OTHER THAN ALLAH ANY PROTECTORS; THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE HELPED﴾. And He, the Most Glorified, said: ﴿AND IF WE HAD NOT STRENGTHENED YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE ALMOST INCLINED TO THEM A LITTLE. THEN WE WOULD HAVE MADE YOU TASTE DOUBLE [PUNISHMENT IN] LIFE AND DOUBLE [AFTER] DEATH. THEN YOU WOULD NOT FIND FOR YOURSELF AGAINST US A HELPER﴾.
