00:00The end of this regime is a defeat for all
00:03who enabled its barbarity and its corruption,
00:05none more than Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia.
00:10So this moment presents a historic opportunity,
00:15but it also carries considerable risks.
00:18History shows how quickly moments of promise
00:22can descend into conflict and violence.
00:26ISIS will try to use this period
00:28to re-establish its capabilities, to create safe havens.
00:32As our precision strikes over the weekend demonstrate,
00:34we are determined not to let that happen,
00:37and we'll continue to protect our personnel
00:39against any threats from any quarters.
00:43Syrian people have endured so much suffering.
00:46We have work to do to ensure that they endure no more.
00:51It's imperative that all actors involved protect civilians,
00:57respect human rights, especially of vulnerable minorities,
01:00preserve the state's institutions and services
01:03to help meet the needs of the Syrian people,
01:05and to build toward inclusive governance.
01:09Statements by rebel leaders to these ends are very welcome,
01:13but, of course, the real measure of their commitment
01:15is not just what they say but what they do.
