Indeed, since 2015, Tehran has allowed al-Qa’ida figures in the country to freely communicate wi

One year ago the United States, in conjunction with the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and our local Iraqi and Syrian partners, launched an operation that took out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder and leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This followed the destruction of ISIS’s fraudulent territorial “caliphate” and was another major victory in the mission to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS. We have been clear in our words and

Repatriating and prosecuting terrorists is the most effective way to keep them from returning to the battlefield. Italy has demonstrated its continued commitment to this approach by repatriating an Italian citizen, who is an alleged ISIS supporter from Syria, to stand trial in a court of law. The United States commends the Government of Italy for the important example it continues to set and encourages all nations to repatriate and prosecute their citizens who
