We are determined to make sure that Daesh cannot re-emerge. The United States, Iraq together had tremendous success in taking away the territorial caliphate that Daesh had created years ago, and now, having put Daesh back in its box, we can\u2019t let it out. And we\u2019re determined to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"playlist-block\">\n<p>Recent episodes in<!-- --> <span class=\"css-1galvr2\">Middle East Crisis<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1wapnqs\" aria-labelledby=\"Middle-East-Crisis\">\n<div class=\"css-1gce877\"><button class=\"css-pfkc15\" type=\"button\" id=\"load-more\" aria-pressed=\"false\">Show more videos from <!-- -->Middle East Crisis<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Blinken Discusses Syria\u2019s Future on Unannounced Visit to Iraq transcript Back transcript Blinken Discusses Syria\u2019s Future on Unannounced Visit to Iraq Secretary of State Antony J.
