In Syria, tensions are rising after the United States shot down a Syrian warplane Sunday—escalating the possibility of a direct confrontation between the United States and Russia. On Monday, Russian officials threatened to target U.S. planes flying west of the Euphrates River. The Pentagon said it downed the Syrian government plane after it bombed U.S.-backed, anti-government rebels fighting ISIS. This is Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Joseph Dunford.

Gen. Joseph Dunford: “An incident occurred. We have to work through the incident. We have a channel to be able to do that, and I think it’s going to require some diplomatic and military engagement in the next few hours to restore the deconfliction that we’ve had in place. And again, the deconfliction that we’ve had in place is in our mutual interest, because it allows us to address what at least pro-regime forces have indicated is our common enemy, ISIS.”
