Abstract
The complications of the Syrian crisis that has extended over six years are overseen on three distinct levels which are national, topographical, and global. A closer look at the situation in Syria in 2010/2011 will help explain why the regime has survived, the complexities of the situation in Syria, and what makes the search for a stable political settlement so difficult. The purpose of the present study is to highlight the nature of US engagement in the Syrian crisis which involves maintaining the US military presence for regional stability, ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS, countering the future expansion of the Iranian influence and political settlement to the conflict, containing the Assad’s regime in the interim. By outlining various threats, issues, assessing the Syrian conflict and its key actors, this paper seeks to explain the US response to the Syrian crisis on basis of thematic analysis. In conclusion, the United States' foreign policy has continued in a region vital to its national security interests due to available oil, its impetus to protect Israel, to support security by retaining military bases, to preserve the position of the protectorate of client states, and friendly regimes, and to resist Islamic movements and terrorism.

Summary
The Assad regime reacted violently to the peaceful demonstrations, exacerbating the situation He used the security and intelligence services to disperse rallies and marches, often with live fire, and to apprehend dissidents (Khan and Khan 2017). The complication of the Syrian emergency that has extended over six years doesn't appear to be resolute at that present time or near future. Iran partakes straightforwardly in the common conflict and has utilized its Lebanese intermediary, Hezbollah, as a primary battling power as Bashar al-Assad's military has deteriorated in the course of the last not many a long time. As the Syrian common conflict heightened and the risk to the system's presence has developed, Iran had to expand its interest in Syria. The Syrian common conflict has exacerbated the crisis presented to Europe by rushes of displaced people from African and Middle Eastern nations (Byman and Speakman 2016)
