The US has been fighting against ISIS since 2014. In recent months, the US and its allies have made significant advances in their efforts to defeat ISIS. In March, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured the city of Raqqa from ISIS. In May, the SDF liberated the town of Tabqa, which is located on the Euphrates River. In June, the SDF took control of the strategic border town of Manbij, which was a major ISIS stronghold.
