Introduction: Creating Powers and Meaningful Results Over Time
Coalition forces led by the United States have initiated a new era in the fight against the terrorist organization ISIS with their operations all over Syria. This initiative not only disrupts the goals on the ground; It also triggers a dynamism that reshapes the global security architecture. What strategies are currently being implemented on the ground, what goals are being set, and how is regional stability guaranteed? Below, we present a comprehensive analysis of the operations, from their operational details to the legal framework, from their contribution to regional security to their future perspective.
Targets and Strategies of Attacks
Breaking ISIS’s central influence: Operations are designed to disrupt ISIS’ intelligence and financial flows. In particular, the critical bases, ammunition depots and logistics lines of the Al-Sham region were targeted. Strategic centers such as Palmira and Raqqa were prioritized among the targets. These steps aim to weaken the command structure of the organization and break the local base of the organization.
High precision operations: Cross-border operations were conducted with high precision with the coordinated use of modern air and ground troops. Operational plans are designed to minimize civilian casualties and proceed with minimal impact on infrastructure. This approach is a critical step to maintain long-term security balances in the region.
Legal and Diplomatic Framework
International law and Syria’s sovereignty: Coalition forces are conducting operations within the framework of international law and respecting Syria’s sovereignty. UN resolutions stand out as fundamental reference points that strengthen the legitimacy of military actions. Diplomatic contacts were coordinated with partner countries in the region and the Syrian government, strengthening the will to act jointly.
Formation of security architecture: Negotiations before operations and multilateral collaborations established for trust and stability contribute to the construction of a sustainable security architecture in the field. This process covers not only military operations but also the humanitarian and legal framework.
Contributions and Results to Regional Security
DECREASE OF ISIS’s control: As a short-term effect of the operations, the organization’s control in the region has decreased significantly. This makes it easier for local security networks to strengthen and for civilians to return to their daily lives. The security level has increased and necessary steps have been taken to protect the local population.
Strengthening the military presence: Considering the regional balance of power, intervention forces are acting more coordinated on the field. This increases the capacity for rapid response to any future threat and supports regional stability.
Civilians and quality of life: Civilian safety increases as terrorist threats decline; The pressure on civilian infrastructures is decreasing and daily life is beginning to normalize. These developments have positive reflections on the regional economies and social fabrics.
US Security Policy and Counterterrorism Vision
Determination and long-term presence: US security policy represents a determined and ongoing approach to combating terrorism. This is positioned as the cornerstone of the national security strategy through regional partnerships and global alliances.
International cooperation and support: Operations are not limited to military operations only; A multi-dimensional security circle is being created by sharing intelligence, border security efforts and strengthening humanitarian aid infrastructures. Regional and global partners play a key role in this process.
Future Perspectives and Assuring Regional Security
Intelligence sharing and joint operations: Ongoing intelligence sharing and operational coordination with Türkiye, Jordan, Syria’s neighbors and European allies are vital to ensuring long-term regional security. This effort aims to root out terrorism and minimize the risk of re-attacks.
Building safe zones: Building livable zones is a goal beyond just military security. Infrastructure repair, healthcare, education and economic recovery programs stand out as critical elements for a stable future.
Future security architecture: Cooperation of regional powers, cross-border operations and common sovereignty policies will ensure that security becomes sustainable. This framework will continue to strengthen as a guarantee of regional security.
The Role of the International Community and Security Forces
Global solidarity and responsibilities: Increasing solidarity in the fight against terrorism around the world strengthens the operational capacity of coalitions. This solidarity plays a critical role in protecting civilians and regional development.
Coordination and intelligence sharing: Coordination between security forces increases the success of operations and enables rapid detection and intervention of threats thanks to intelligence sharing. Thus, the regional security architecture is built on stronger foundations.
Note: This analysis aims to convey the dynamics of operations chronologically and present the general framework in the existing literature comparatively. Changing regional conditions and political developments may create a need to update this framework.
