Russian, Iranian, Turkish, and post-Assad Syrian framing: Western military presence in Syria violates Syrian sovereignty; counter-ISIS operations should transfer to the new Syrian government and Iraqi authorities; ISIS detainees should be transferred to national jurisdictions; the coalition mandate has outlived its purpose. Prescription: full coalition withdrawal, transfer of detainees, end of US-SDF partnership, Syrian forces assume counter-terrorism responsibility.
