Syria Conflict Status

Syria's civil war, which began in 2011, has evolved through multiple phases from popular uprising to multi-sided proxy war. While large-scale combat has diminished compared to the 2015-2018 peak, the conflict remains unresolved with multiple foreign military forces operating on Syrian territory: Russia (supporting the Assad government), Turkey (controlling parts of northern Syria), the United States (supporting Kurdish SDF forces in the northeast), and Iran (with proxy militia presence throughout government-held areas).

The Assad government controls roughly 60-70% of Syrian territory but faces ongoing challenges including an economic crisis, periodic ISIS resurgences in the desert interior, and Israeli strikes against Iranian targets. Kurdish-led forces control the oil-rich northeast, while Turkish-backed groups hold parts of the north. The conflict has killed over 500,000 people and displaced half the country's pre-war population.

Is the Syria war still going on?

Yes, though at reduced intensity compared to 2015-2018. Active conflict continues in several areas: the Idlib region (occasional government-Russian bombing), the northeast (Turkish operations against Kurdish forces), and the central desert (ISIS insurgency). Multiple foreign militaries remain deployed in Syria.

Who controls Syria now?

Syria is fragmented between multiple groups: the Assad government (backed by Russia and Iran) controls roughly 60-70% of territory including major cities.
