A rapid rebel advance in northwest Syria poses risks for the United States, which was "caught unaware", and other countries including Turkey, Russia and Iran, former U.S. ambassador James Jeffrey told Reuters.
The article discusses the concerns raised by former U.S. Ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, regarding the recent advances by Syrian rebels, particularly in the northwest of the country. Ford warns that these advances could lead to several risks for the U.S. and other international actors. He highlights the potential for increased instability, the empowerment of extremist groups, and the complications in managing the ongoing conflict, especially with the backdrop of shifting alliances and the involvement of foreign powers like Russia, Turkey, and Iran. The situation is further complicated by the humanitarian crisis, with millions of displaced Syrians and the potential for further refugee flows. Ford suggests that the U.S. needs to reassess its strategy in Syria to mitigate these risks, possibly engaging more directly with local actors to stabilize the region and prevent further escalation of the conflict.
