US pushes for Plan B in Syria
Facing the collapse of a US-backed de-escalation zone in Syria’s southwest, the Donald Trump administration is split on plans to counter thousands of Iranian troops in the war-torn country.
As US President Donald Trump finalizes plans to sit down with Russian leader Vladimir Putin next month, the administration remains split on how to salvage a multilateral cease-fire deal in Syria amid a major offensive threatening US allies.
The US side is divided on its strategy to eject Iran’s proxies from Syria and away from the border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and Jordan, America’s primary remaining objective in the war-torn country.
