About this tracker
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.

Multiple foreign militaries remain deployed in Syria.
