In a fast-moving mid-east crisis‚ the Joe Biden administration launched counter-terrorism operations in Syria following president Bashar al-Assadʼs sudden exit to Russia: this marks a dramatic shift in regional politics. US forces hit multiple ISIS targets with air-strikes (marking the first direct response to Syriaʼs leadership vacuum)
The quick-moving developments pushed Washington to act as extremist groups tried to gain ground in unstable areas. Biden spoke about the situation: “Weʼve targeted ISIS camps and their fighters to maintain regional safety‚“ he said while noting that chemical-weapons monitoring remains a top priority
The US government works with its global partners to handle post-Assad challenges — ISIS camps got destroyed in precision strikes across north-eastern Syria. The multi-national effort focuses on keeping dangerous materials secure; preventing terror groups from using the current situation to their advantage
