United States Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack said efforts to de-escalate the situation were ongoing amid rising tensions between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian government. In a post on X on Friday, Barrack said that the US “remains in close contact with all parties in Syria and is working around the clock to de-escalate the situation and prevent further escalation.” The comments come as both sides traded accusations over the failure to implement the March 10 agreement.
