The White House has clarified the remarks of the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on the possibility of conducting a military operation in Syria.

 “The vice president was making the point that even as we search for a political solution to the broader Syrian civil war, we are simultaneously pursuing a military solution against Daesh. There is no change in U.S. policy,” the message reads, Gazeta reports.  

Earlier, Biden stated about the readiness to the military solution of the Syrian conflict in case it’s not possible to solve it by political means.
