US troops have been inside Syria since 2015 aiding the fight against ISIS. Last December President Trump announced he was withdrawing all American soldiers from the country. However shortly after the announcement was made the pullout deadline was extended by several months.
The warning was issued by Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior aide to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
He commented: “Whether they want to or not, the Americans must leave Syria.
“Not 90 percent of Syrian soil is under the control of the government and the rest will soon be freed by the Syrian army.”
Mr Velayati was speaking during a meeting in Tehran with Syrian foreign minister Walid Muallem.
