Graham Supports Kurdish Protection as Syrian Forces Advance

Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have raised alarms about the threats facing the Kurdish population in Syria, which is under attack from government forces. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has ordered military action against the U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who played a crucial role in defeating ISIS. The Kurdish leadership fears extermination and calls for U.S. support, while expressing distrust in the Syrian government, which is seen as potentially radical. The situation remains precarious as tensions rise, and the U.S. reassessment of its partnership with the SDF adds to the uncertainty.
