“ISIS militants are fighting the governments on both sides of the Iraq-Syria border, and an apparent decision by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to intervene to help Maliki further tangles the already complex knot of actors in the overlapping crises. In Syria, the U.S. opposes both Assad and ISIS, which it condemns as a terrorist, al-Qaeda-inspired organization. Iran supports both Assad and Maliki and is sending aid to both. Shiite leaders in Iran and Iraq, as well as Assad, have accused Sunni governments in the Persian Gulf of aiding the militants. Kerry will meet in Paris with Saudi Arabia, UAE and Jordan to ask them to intervene more forcefully with Sunni tribes in western Iraq.”
