The government says it will keep a close watch on any extremists who left the camp, as they did with ISIS affiliates in their area of control in northwest Syria prior to the fall of the Assad regime. The current situation will put their approach to the test.

Al-Hol camp, the subject of a diplomatic impasse for more than half a decade, emptied out in recent weeks during unrest in the camp and an increase in escape attempts after it came under government control after Damascus' takeover of northeast Syria.

Iran’s economic meltdown, which around the new year triggered protests that threatened the regime’s grasp on power, is getting worse.

The Kurdish-led SDF militia retreated from the camp in January during Damascus' offensive on the northeast, leaving it unguarded for hours.
Since it came under government control, the situation spiraled, including rioting earlier in February that injured a humanitairan worker.

The Syrian government says it is moving the remaining families out of the camp. This comes after weeks in which thousands of people left the facility, including some released by the authorities, or who escaped.

The camp has been a vexing security and diplomatic problem for two U.S. presidents and dozens of countries whose citizens were held there along many thousands of Syrians and Iraqis.

Trump administration officials have discussed whether to seize additional tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil but have held off, concerned about Tehran’s near-certain retaliation and the impact on global oil markets

Big win for free speech advocates: “The Department of Homeland Security couldn’t prove that Ozturk needed to be removed from the U.S., and an immigration court terminated those proceedings”

2: Will Iran come into the room with a serious offer at least in the nuclear area to show its prepared for swift talks rather than slow-go process? And does U.S. have any kind of sanctions relief plan?
Everything else is bla bla. -2-

2 critical questions for today’s Iran talks.
1/ Will U.S. succeed in opening the way for a serious negotiation over Iran’s proxy support and ballistic missiles program or will there be only cursory mention or none at all. Forget the public statements. Only In the room matters-1-

I've been laid off from the Post today, along with too many of my incredible colleagues, after eight incredible years, most of them in Hong Kong and covering China's expansion, a story that will define our generation.

Incomprehensible, foolish, reckless. @ishaantharoor and all his many colleagues at @washingtonpost foreign desk and foreign correspondents are stellar, providing invaluable reporting and analysis. I hope they all get snapped up by other publications and news platforms.

I have been laid off today from the @washingtonpost, along with most of the International staff and so many other wonderful colleagues. I’m heartbroken for our newsroom and especially for the peerless journalists who served the Post internationally — editors and correspondents who have been my friends and collaborators for almost 12 years. It’s been an honor to work with them.
I launched the WorldView column in January 2017 to help readers better understand the world and America’s place in it and I’m grateful for the half a million loyal subscribers who tuned into the column several times a week over the years.
