Syria is a country located in the Middle East, bordered by Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan and Israel to the south, and Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. It has a population of about 18 million people and a diverse mix of religious and ethnic groups, including Arabs, Kurds, and a number of minority groups. The Syrian government is led by President Bashar al-Assad, who has ruled the country since 2000. The government is a dictatorship, and opposition groups have long criticized it for human rights abuses and corruption. Since 2011, Syria has been embroiled in a civil war, which began as a popular uprising against the government and has evolved into a complex conflict involving a number of local and international actors. The conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions, both inside and outside the country. Several international powers, including Russia and the United States, have been involved in the conflict in various ways, either directly or through proxies. The conflict has also attracted the attention of terrorist groups, including the Islamic State (ISIS), which has seized control of large parts of the country. In recent years, there have been efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict, including through negotiations and peace talks. However, the situation in Syria remains volatile, and the future of the country remains uncertain.

The country has also been a major theater of operations in the War on Terror, with the United States and other countries intervening in the country after the September 11th attacks in 2001.
