US calls for calm as Syrian army advances on Kurdish territory.

The United States has called on Syrian troops to halt their advance in Kurdish-held territory in northern Syria, amid clashes with Kurdish forces over strategic posts and oilfields along the Euphrates River. The Syrian Army entered Tabqa after the SDF agreed to retreat east of the river, leading to accusations of betrayal from both sides. The US is working to balance its support for the SDF and the new Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, while addressing the unresolved issue of integrating SDF fighters into the Syrian Army.
