ARLINGTON, Va. -- A deputy commander for Operation Inherent Resolve said today that ISIS fighters are moving "with impunity" in areas held by Bashar al-Assad's regime, but the coalition does not intend to strike at ISIS as they take haven in these regions.
At the beginning of the year, oil deals between Assad and ISIS constituted one of the largest revenue sources for the terror group, according to U.S. and European officials, even as Assad claimed his regime fought ISIS. The "millions and millions of dollars of trade," as noted by a Treasury official in 2015, between Assad and ISIS was detected from the early days of the caliphate.
