Turkey Prepares for Large-Scale Incursion into Kobani, Targeting U.S.-Backed Kurdish Forces, U.S. Officials Warn
Dec 17, 2024, 06:28 AM
U.S. officials have raised alarms regarding Turkey's military buildup along the Syrian border, indicating preparations for a significant incursion into areas held by American-backed Kurdish forces. Reports suggest that Turkish troops, along with militia allies, are amassing near Kobani, a Kurdish-controlled city in northern Syria. The Wall Street Journal cites senior U.S. officials who express concern that Ankara's actions could lead to a large-scale offensive targeting the Kurdish forces, similar to previous incursions. The situation is further complicated by the breakdown of U.S.-mediated negotiations, which may have prompted Turkey to escalate its military posture. Kurdish officials are reportedly urging President-elect Donald Trump to intervene and prevent a potential invasion.
