The US has struck ISIS targets in Syria

We clearly understand the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum to restore its capability… We will not allow that to happen…

Joe Biden

President of the USA

According to the current American leader, on December 8 alone, the US military conducted a dozen precision strikes, airstrikes targeting ISIS camps and ISIS fighters in Syria.

In addition, it is indicated that the White House is not yet sure of the whereabouts of Bashar al-Assad, but is monitoring reports that he is seeking refuge in Moscow.

Joe Biden said the fall of Assad was a "fundamental act of justice."

What is important to know about the fall of the Assad regime in Syria

On December 8, rebels in Syria overthrew the regime of dictator Bashar Assad, who was actively supported by the Russian authorities.

This happened after the liberation of the capital Damascus — state media buildings and state institutions came under the control of opposition forces.

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali said he remains in the country and is ready to facilitate the transfer of powers to an "interim government" that may include opposition figures.

Bashar Assad himself held negotiations with the rebels and left the post of "president", handing over his power to the opposition.
