The United States has had direct contact with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Syrian rebel group now in de-facto control of the country, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday.
The first public confirmation of direct interaction with the US-designated terrorist group, known as HTS, came at the conclusion of Blinken's diplomatic sprint through the region spurred by the sudden collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"Yes, we've been in contact with HTS and the other parties," Blinken said at a news conference in Aqaba, Jordan.
