Iranian-backed militant groups, including the Allah Brigade, are constantly putting pressure on them and escalating, and they are preparing to withdraw all or part of their forces from eastern Syria and Iraq, according to some U.S. Defense Forces, making this operation a top priority to put the U.S. Brigades in a "safe" position before engaging in any form of regional war.
Depending on the size, scope and urgency of the incident, a full withdrawal could take up to 90 days.

The final US withdrawal in Syria and Iraq is undoubtedly another failed case of US military operations abroad.
The United States has intervened in both Iraq and Syria for 20 years, with the primary aim of undermining Syrian Assad**, supporting anti-Iranian forces in the region, and fighting ISIS in order to contain Iran's influence in the Middle East.
The victory over ISIS was the result of cooperation among all parties in the region, as well as Iran and Russia, so it was not the credit of the United States.
Although the United States has not achieved other goals, it has not won in the region, but has become a destabilizing factor in Syria and Iraq.
Without victory, U.S. military bases are mostly a waste of resources, difficult to defend, and will provoke a large number of hostile local populations.
In the last decade, the United States has not adopted a more productive strategy, but has only maintained those military bases for a long time as a way to maintain pressure on the Middle East.
After 20 years of intervention and hundreds of billions of dollars in military operations, the United States finally realized that its strategy had failed, just like the military operation in Afghanistan for more than 20 years.
The United States, Iraq, Syria, in the long standoff, have already paid a huge price in money and lives.
Obviously, the US strategy failed, it failed to control Iran, nor did it control Syria and Iraq, which are hostile to the United States, and even after Saddam Hussein was overthrown, it failed to make the United States its own country.
Perhaps it would be advantageous for the United States not to intervene in the Middle East, and it would be in a better position on the international stage, and it would also be able to maintain good ties with the UAE such as Saudi Arabia.
The real withdrawal of US troops from Syria and Iraq, coupled with the détente between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the US campaign against Israel in Gaza, have aroused common opposition from all countries in the Middle East.

Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, what lessons can the United States learn from this?
It is important to avoid going into a distant military conflict that does not pose a direct threat to the United States, because the cost of doing so is too great and it will end in failure. Because local parties will think it's an existential issue, they'll fight until the U.S. gets bored.
First, it is important to avoid establishing contacts with other powers in their respective spheres of influence, as the situation is likely to escalate, and those countries will have a stronger incentive to deal with U.S. involvement and**.
Unfortunately, the United States did not recognize that Ukraine would face the same outcome, albeit on a much larger scale.
When American neocons say that if the United States had gone all out to wage this war, the outcome would have been different, but most Americans do not care whether the American economy will descend into a protracted war.
In fact, regardless of whether Trump had anticipated this before the last US elections, plans to withdraw troops from Syria have already begun, as have the troops in Afghanistan.
However, due to partisanship, the opposition sees the above behavior as a sign of weakness, and the Democrats opposed the withdrawal when Trump was in office, but now they see the withdrawal as Biden**'s weakness.

Of course, the only plausible explanation for a swift withdrawal is that Biden does not want to leave the Middle East's stronghold in a state of boiling public resentment to avoid a larger conflict.
Judging by the current situation, there is a high probability of a war in the Middle East.
If Israel occupies Rafah, it will be a war of extermination, what if Israel attacks Lebanon, what if the United States attacks Iran?
At that time, the United States will definitely launch long-range strikes, without using land forces, so it is very sensible to retreat ground forces to reduce losses.
