Obama lays out evolving war plan against Islamic State
President Obama presented a developing strategy to confront Islamic State with air strikes in Iraq and Syria, backed by a coalition of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, and Qatar. The plan centers on training and advising local forces under visible U.S. commands, while denying boots on the ground, and includes counterterrorism, financing disruption, humanitarian aid, and media efforts to delegitimize extremism. Training camps prepare Sunni national guards in Jordan and northern Iraq, with Syrian forces to be built up over time.
