ISIS is still practicing its terrorism to this day showing it was not rubbed out. They are remembered by us cutting heads off their enemies.
Jolani was once linked to the formation of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) or Daech through his early work with al-Qaeda in Iraq.
ISIS is a transnational Salafi jihadist militant organization and an unrecognized quasi-state.
Jolani, today's Syrian President, publicly broke with ISIS and al-Qaeda, instead establishing HTS (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) as a Syrian-focused group.
The U.S. still lists him as a terrorist, but Trump seems to be enamoured by him. Jolani has spent most of his life as a terrorist and he still is a practicing one. He has even cut the head off of an enemy
himself. He speaks the language of the sword, so his compatriots said.
- Abu Musab al-Zarqawi: Founder of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (precursor to ISIS), killed in 2006.
- Abu Omar al-Baghdadi & Abu Ayyub al-Masri: Leaders of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), killed together in 2010.
- Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: The self-proclaimed Caliph, killed in a U.S. raid in 2019.
- Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi: The successor to al-Baghdadi, killed in a U.S. raid in 2022.
- The group continues to operate, but with a significantly diminished central command structure. Leadership has become more clandestine, with members often holding temporary or regional roles.The focus of counter-terrorism has shifted to dismantling its financial networks, online propaganda, and regional affiliates. In essence, ISIS leaders have been a primary target, leading to significant decapitation, but the ideology persists, forcing the organization to constantly adapt and find new figures to lead its fragmented operations.
Syria’s Interior Ministry said Tuesday that security forces had arrested an ISIS (Daesh) cell in the Damascus countryside. “An ISIS terrorist cell was arrested in the town of Jadidat al-Shibani in the Barada Valley, in the countryside of Damascus,” a ministry source told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), without providing further details.
- Formation (2012): Jabhat al-Nusra (or Nusra Front) was formed as an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) to fight against the Bashar al-Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War.
- Al-Qaeda Affiliation: Its leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa (Abu Muhammad al-Julani), pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in 2013, solidifying its role as the official Syrian branch of al-Qaeda.
In late June 2014, the group, ISIS renamed itself ad-Dawla al-Islāmiyya (lit. 'Islamic State' or IS), declaring itself a worldwide caliphate. The name "Islamic State" and the group's claim to be a caliphate have been widely rejected, with the UN, various governments, and mainstream Muslim groups refusing to use the new name. The group's declaration of a new caliphate in June 2014 and its adoption of the name "Islamic State" have been criticized and ridiculed by Muslim scholars and rival Islamists both inside and outside the territory it controls. It is designated as a terrorist organization by the United Nations and many countries around the world, including Muslim countries.
The new Syrian administration of Jolani's has been working to tighten security conditions nationwide since the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024. Imagine. Jolani helped to create ISIS and now showing people how to defend themselves against ISIS.
Syria formally joined the US-led international coalition against ISIS on Nov. 12, 2025. The coalition was formed in 2014 and has carried out military operations against the terrorist group in Syria and Iraq, though Damascus was not previously a member. Reports indicate that Syria, under President Jolani, now called Ahmed al-Sharaa, formally joined the U.S.-led Global Coalition Against ISIS (Daesh) as its 90th member around November 12, 2025, marking a significant shift in regional dynamics as Damascus now partners with the U.S. and its allies in the ongoing effort to eliminate ISIS remnants and secure lasting stability in the Middle East, a notable move from its prior independent operations against the group.
Reports also indicate that the terrorist, Jolani, has become very smugwith his fellow Syrians, showing that a terrorist did wiggle his way into thethrone of Syria, and can make the former Assad seem to have been an angel compared to him. Jolani is said to be a cruel man, more so thanAssad. Assad is hard to beat in that line cruelty. He was quick with the chemical destruction of people.
On Dec. 13, 2025, three Americans, including two service members and one civilian, were killed and three US troops wounded in an ISIS ambush in the central city of Palmyra, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
On December 13, 2025, an ISIS ambush near Palmyra, Syria, killed two U.S. service members (Iowa National Guard soldiers Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard) and one civilian interpreter, with three other U.S. troops wounded, confirmed by CENTCOM as a lone ISIS gunman attack, prompting significant U.S. retaliatory strikes.
Why would Trump like him so much? What does Syria have he'd like? IsSyria like another Greenland?
Syria possesses significant underground resources, primarily crude oil, natural gas, and phosphates, which have historically been crucial to its economy, alongside other valuable minerals like asphalt, rock salt, marble, gypsum, iron ore, chromium, and manganese ores, with potential in oil shale and magnesium-rich rocks for industrial use.
