Orders the termination of prior Syria-related sanctions effective July 1, 2025, while directing the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Commerce to implement new authorities that both provide targeted sanctions relief and impose expanded measures to hold members of the former Assad regime accountable for war crimes, narcotics trafficking, and human rights abuses.
The order revokes the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 and associated authorities while preserving enforcement actions for conduct occurring before the effective date.

The order also expands the scope of Executive Order 13894 to target individuals affiliated with the former Assad regime for war crimes, narcotics trafficking, and human rights abuses.
