ISIS continues to operate in areas controlled by both the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with growing indications of a resurgence.

The fourth round of talks between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) ended with no progress on the March 10 Agreement implementation.

Washington seems to be delaying any US troop withdrawals or base closures. US military officials confirmed that troop levels will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future due to the ongoing need to pursue ISIS cells.

The US-led International coalition has nearly completed its withdrawal from Deir al-Zzor, eastern Syria, after two months of contradictory military moves.

Despite a recent announcement to reduce its military footprint in Syria and evacuate key bases in Deir al-Zzor, the US-led coalition has reversed course, declaring a “redeployment” that appears to be strengthening its presence rather than reducing.
