In response to the recent round of Turkish airstrikes in northern Syria and Iraq, the spokeperson for the US Department of Defense stated that the US continues to disapprove of any military intervention that would "destabilize Syria or violate Iraq's sovereignty" through military engagements that are not coordinated with the Iraqi government.

It is of note that the US currently occupies oil-rich regions in Syria in violation of international law.

The persistent war against ISIS and its prevention from reemerging are among the key objectives that are jeopardized by Turkey's activities, the Pentagon spokesperson continued.
