US Navigates Complex Syria Landscape Post-Assad with ISIS Resurgence
TL;DR Summary
The US is intensifying efforts to prevent an ISIS resurgence in Syria following the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad, as its key partner, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), faces attacks from Turkish-backed militants. This has forced the SDF to halt anti-ISIS operations and relocate detainees from threatened facilities. The complex situation has prompted US officials to engage with Turkey to de-escalate tensions, while maintaining a military presence in Syria to counter ISIS threats.
