US monitors Syria following Assad's overthrow and ISIS concerns
The U.S. is monitoring Syria after the overthrow of President Bashar Assad, who has sought asylum in Russia. Concerns focus on the potential resurgence of ISIS amid the transition in power. U.S. officials are deployed across the region to prevent ISIS from taking advantage of the situation. Recent U.S. airstrikes targeted over 75 ISIS camps in Syria, aiming to weaken the group's capabilities. Syria's public sector is experiencing disruptions, with some state workers not returning to their jobs. Meanwhile, the U.S. is seeking information on missing journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared in Syria 12 years ago.
