As per news report of Rt.com, speaking to reporters, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that Türkiye “does continue to suffer a legitimate terrorist threat, particularly to their south. They certainly have every right to defend themselves and their citizens.” However, Turkish cross-border operations “might force a reaction by some of our SDF partners, that would ... constrain their ability to continue the fight against ISIS,” Kirby added.
