Regarding the United States changing the name of its embassy!

For hours, the news about the United States changing the name of its embassy from “U.S. Embassy – Damascus” to “U.S. Embassy – Syria” has been the talk among many observers, accompanied by speculations about the location of its new headquarters! The question is:

Does changing the name indeed imply that the embassy is moving from its location in Damascus – Al-Rawda area to another location within the Syrian Arab Republic? Or is it merely an expansion of the name and not necessarily implying a relocation?

Diplomatically, does the term “embassy” carry the same connotations as “consulate”? Why isn’t there talk about a U.S. consulate in any of the provinces instead of an embassy? What about the accreditation of its ambassador or consul papers? To which country will they present them and under what legitimacy will they open their doors?

Is the decision to change the name a subtle acknowledgment by the U.S. of the impossibility of changing the Assad regime (at least for the current phase)?

Does this decision imply the possibility of dividing Syria?

Will this decision encourage other countries to proceed with opening their embassies wherever the suitable circumstance and security guarantor are available?

Then the question is: What is the expected benefit of opening a U.S. embassy in areas where U.S. forces and army units are present – assuming the news is correct – except that the recent clashes between Arab tribes and clans on one side and the Kurds on the other, resulted in a gathering of information and intelligence data that serves America’s interests, in addition to job offers with them within that security sector, which they have been looking for for a long time due to resource scarcity and agent rarity, activating their market, making it appropriate under the embassy title to assemble, sort, and then utilize them.

Many questions that perhaps Syrian diplomats can shed some light on in terms of how the diplomatic corps operates, and for politicians and security personnel to analyze its dimensions and focus on its pros or cons in presenting the interests of Syria and its citizens over any other interest.
