BREAKING: US coalition strike on #SyrianArmy occurred within an established safe zone
https://sptnkne.ws/eyED#
And right on queue, Sputnik follows with implication that US violated some sort of intl law or agreement, instead of unilateral "safe zone"

#Syria: #Iran & #Assad regime are hyping the "huge border battle" against #FSA since weeks

Area where Syrian regime struck by US is same region where Russia struck closely US-backed rebels last year. Major signal to Moscow.
Hours ago, the #IRGC-linked Fars News reported 3,000 #Hezbollah fighters “deployed” to the “al-Tanf region” to thwart “a U.S. plot.”
U.S media needs to *wake up*:
- Multiple U.S. airstrikes just *purposely* took out an #Iran/#Hezbollah/#Assad convoy in SE #Syria.
US has now clearly shown it will *not* allow Assad regime + allies to reach Iraqi border. No hope of establishing land supply corridor.

#Russia says the #US attack on pro-Assad forces near #Tanf is "another provocation which began with the attacks in Idlib & Homs".
Meanwhile in #Syria's "De-Escalation Zones" (this time for real), the #AssadPutin army kept shelling towns and agricultural lands.

The forces near al-Tanf are not even remotely Salafist. @MaxBlumenthal is a Kremlin-paid Islamophobe.
In fact, the FSA forces there are Democrats. The Iranian militias targeted are the highly sectarian jihadists
