Syria's removal as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and the associated delisting of HTS — the group that became Syria's de facto governing authority — is historically unprecedented; no comparable SST dedesignation or governing-authority SDN delisting appears in the 90-day baseline.
Treasury removed Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), also known as al-Nusrah Front, from the SDN List under [SDGT] following the State Department's concurrent revocation of its Specially Designated Global Terrorist designation as part of the broader U.S. policy normalization toward Syria.
