I just wasted my morning listening to Iraqs Prime Minister where he talked about nothing.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Iraqi leaders come and go but the system stays the same an entire government system based on only one thing — serving Iran’s Supreme Leader, and funding sectarian terrorist militias. This is the same formula that created ISIS in the first place under former PM Maliki. Whether it’s PM Zaydi (who ran a bank sanctioned for supporting Iran) his predecessor Sudani (who had a literal terrorist as his national security adviser) or his predecessors the system is the same and the game of musical chairs irrelevant.

I hope PM Zaydi proves me wrong with his actions!

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

Tim, that is why I refused to attend! Listening to the Iranian-run Iraqi government is a waste of time. Talk is cheap. With billions in taxpayer dollars given to Iraq over the last few years we expect REAL action in countering Iranian militias. Unfortunately the opposite is the case.

The Kurds have been invaluable partners to the US in the fight against terrorism in the Middle East. It makes perfect sense for us to work with them to unseat this evil dictatorship.

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

There is strong and growing bipartisan interest in the U.S. Senate regarding the deteriorating situation in Syria. There is strong consensus that we must protect the Kurds who were there for us in destroying the ISIS caliphate, as well as many other groups.

The powers of the Senate are real. Stay tuned.

@Charles_Lister You have still have the same mindset when you were fighting along side ISIS militants against US and Kurdish forces.

"One of America’s primary national security interests with respect to Syria has been our partnership with the SDF, who led the effort to defeat ISIS and to counter an ISIS comeback."

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

As to the recent Syrian-SDF ceasefire agreement, I have not recieved nor do I know any Senator that has received a detailed analysis of the agreement. I’m hopeful it’s full of promise and transformative, but I have concerns and questions.

Number one, was this ceasefire agreement negotiated with any regional partners other than Turkey? Were any Turkish forces involved in any recent incursions into Kurdish territory? Does this agreement envision Turkish soldiers on the ground in the future in this region? Finally, was there any contact or coordination with Israel before this agreement was negotiated and what input did they give, if any?

One of America’s primary national security interests with respect to Syria has been our partnership with the SDF, who led the effort to defeat ISIS and to counter an ISIS comeback.

For years, we have been working hand in glove with the mostly Kurdish SDF to keep ISIS at bay. I have more questions than answers about this recent ceasefire agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF.

I am one of many Senators that has a close relationship with the SDF and will expect full answers to these questions and more ASAP.

[Michael McCaul @RepMcCaul]

I am also deeply concerned by reports that armed forces are advancing against the Syrian Democratic Forces in Aleppo. I would remind the Syrian government that the Caesar Act repeal included requirements on protecting ethnic minorities and upholding the March 10th integration agreements with the SDF.

The government must immediately de-escalate and protect vulnerable communities to ensure the stability of the region. Congress — and the United States — is watching closely.

[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

The United States warmly welcomes the temporary ceasefire achieved last night in Aleppo’s Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods and extends profound gratitude to all parties—the Syrian government, the Syrian Democratic Forces, local authorities, and community leaders—for the restraint and goodwill that made this vital pause possible.

With sustained cooperation and by the grace of the One God whom all our communities revere in their own light, we are hopeful this weekend will bring a more enduring calm and deeper dialogue.

In times of crisis, fresh clarity often emerges. This truce begins the vital work of guiding Syria’s diverse lanes—its communities and neighboring nations—onto a single shared highway toward security, inclusion, and lasting peace. Speed bumps will arise, but our common destination clearly favors cooperation over confrontation.

We are working intensively to extend this ceasefire and spirit of understanding beyond this morning’s 9 o’clock deadline.

[U.S. State Dept - Near Eastern Affairs @StateDept_NEA]

The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs welcomes Robert Palladino as Senior Bureau Official and Gregory LoGerfo as Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Diplomacy. Together, they will advance @POTUS’s America First 🇺🇸 agenda by strengthening regional partnerships, boosting economic investment, and supporting President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan—with a focus on results.

The Khor Mor gasfield is currently producing 750 million cubic feet, 22k condensate, and 1500 tones of LPG per day.

[U.S. Embassy Baghdad @USEmbBaghdad]

The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack against the Khor Mor gas field in Sulimaniyah. We join the Kurdistan Regional Government and other Iraqi partners in calling for immediate action by the Government of Iraq to hold accountable the perpetrators of this terrorist attack, which is the latest in a spate of attempts by malign actors to undermine Iraq’s stability and to target American investments in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. We are prepared to lend support to efforts to protect this critical infrastructure, and we will continue to underscore the importance of Iraq asserting its sovereignty in the face of attempts to undermine it and ensuring all weapons, especially drones, missiles, and rockets, are brought under state control.

The US Senate approved repealing the Caesar Act sanctions on Syria as part of the 2026 defense budget, marking a potential shift in US policy toward Damascus.
