Syria’s new government has canceled a 49-year lease signed with Russia to operate the port of Tartus, home to Moscow’s sole naval base on the Mediterranean Sea.

The lease, signed in 2017, extended Russia’s maritime presence on the Syrian coast for the next half-century.

Authorities in Tartus reportedly annulled the lease and demanding the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces, according a report Monday by the Syrian Shaam news outlet.
