Washington Reactivates ISIS
Posted on January 26, 2026 by Conor Gallagher

In a brief statement Wednesday U.S. Central Command announced that it is transferring up to 7,000 ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq. The reason provided is “to help ensure the terrorists remain in secure detention facilities” and it comes on the heels of reports of releases and abandonments at other prisons housing tens of thousands of ISIS members, a ramp up of ISIS activity, and black flags flying again.

The plan includes talk of repatriating many of the ISIS prisoners to their country of origin, and the whole thing raises a whole lot of questions. Coupled with other U.S. moves in Syria and Iraq, the ISIS transfers appear to be part of an effort to further engulf the region in chaos and direct in the direction of Iran. So here are six questions and observations on what’s happening.
