U.S Sanctions Syrians And Other Assisting ISIS

Pro-government protesters hold pictures of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his late father, Hafez al-Assad, during a rally in Damascus, Syria, on March 18, 2011. Bashar al-Assad has ruled Syria since 2000, when his father passed away following 30 years in charge. An anti-regime uprising that started in March 2011 has spiraled into civil war. The United Nations estimates more than 220,000 people have been killed.


The United States will continue targeting the finances of ISIS and  all those enabling Assad to continue inflicting violence on the Syrian people," according to U.S. officials.

U.S have long voiced concerns that the Bashar al-Assad is strengthening Islamic State’s finances by purchasing oil produced by the militant group.
