US announces its support for the Syrian Democratic Forces in their operation against Raqqa

United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced in a written statement that it will continue to support the Syrian Democratic Forces with their operation in Raqqa.

The statement from CENTCOM noted that "we will continue to support covert operations conducted by the Syrian Democratic Forces against Raqqa, as we have in the past."

US State Department spokesperson, Mark Toner, was also present at a daily press conference evaluating the operations in Raqqa.

Stating that they will cooperate in an agreement for the implementation of the cessation of hostilities in Syria Toner said that "we will continue to support the Syrian Democratic Forces in their recovery of the city of Raqqa from ISIS."

"We have two priorities in Syria. First, the elimination of ISIS. We have established a coalition under the leadership of 66 countries for this purpose. We support the Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS in this endeavor, as we support the Iraqi military for the same purposes."

"Our other priority is the ongoing civil war in Syria. We believe that it will take a political solution and we are working to implement an agreement with all countries involved in the conflict, including Russia."
