. less isis is so let s let s just make one thing clear. we have one mission in syria and again. that s the enduring defeat of isis. working with our partners in syria, the syrian democratic forces. and as part of an international coalition to ensure that isis cannot research when it comes to these iranian backed militant groups, you know again, we continue to see this sort of destabilizing activity. these attacks not only in syria , you ve seen irgc back groups irgc navy in the gulf. you ve seen activities in iraq. you ve even seen iran providing drones to russia for use in ukraine. so again. we re very cognizant of the threat that iran poses to the region through groups like what we re seeing in syria, but that does not in any way negate our primary focus and the focus that will remain, which is combating isis in syria, so we refer to them as iranian backed militias. and just for anybody wondering what irgc is that the
