We are carefully monitoring the scenario in Syria and have been involved over the past 48 hours with regional capitals. The Assad regime’s ongoing refusal to interact within the political course of outlined in UNSCR 2254, and its reliance on Russia and Iran, created the circumstances now unfolding, together with the collapse of Assad regime strains in northwest Syria. At the identical time, the United States has nothing to do with this offensive, which is led by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a chosen terrorist group. The United States, along with its companions and allies, urge de-escalation, safety of civilians and minority teams, and a severe and credible political course of that may finish this civil conflict as soon as and for all with a political settlement according to UNSCR 2254. We will even proceed to totally defend and shield U.S. personnel and U.S. army positions, which stay important to making sure that ISIS can by no means once more resurge in Syria.
