The Islamic extremist group ISIS is nearing its end in Iraq, and coalition forces are launching clearing operations against the group in eastern Syria. While the terrorist organization may still persist in some form, its so-called “caliphate” may soon be obsolete.

The Trump administration has taken a strong stance against ISIS. A report from the U.S. Air Force shows that in the last eight months, it has released more weapons on ISIS—32,801, as of August—than it did in all of 2016 under the Obama administration, when 30,743 weapons were dropped.
