Armed Conflict in Syria: Overview and U.S. Response

Abstract

In March 2022, the Syria conflict marked its 11th year. Analysts estimate that the conflict has killed over half a million people (including combatants) and displaced half of Syria's prewar population. Challenges for U.S. policymakers in Syria include countering groups linked to Al Qaeda, responding to the threat posed by Islamic State (IS/ISIS)remnants and detainees, facilitating humanitarian assistance, and managing Russian and Iranian challenges to U.S. operations.
