The Embassy of Syria in Washington, D.C. (Arabic: سفارة الجمهورية العربية السورية في واشنطن) is the diplomatic mission of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United States. An ambassador has not been named.
The Syrian embassy along with two honorary consulates in Troy, Michigan and Houston, Texas were ordered to suspend operations on March 18, 2014 by U.S. special envoy for Syria Daniel Rubinstein, who stated that "We have determined it is unacceptable for individuals appointed by that regime to conduct diplomatic or consular operations in the United States".
The United States subsequently recognized the diplomatic mission of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces on May 5, 2014.
