Insurgents are flooding Sheikh Mishkin with reinforcements, and have recovered quite some ground today. In essence, IRGC and Hezbollah/Iraq are back in the eastern and norther suburbs.
So much about regime's 'capture' of this town...
BTW, Southern Front also recovered the Technological Institute in south-western Dera'a town today (this was captured by the regime about a week ago).

Obama's Syrian strategy MUST address the role of Iran as well as Russia AND it does not WHILE Obama is clinging to his Iran Deal as key to his so called "legacy"...he hopes and hope has never been a strategy hopes that Iran will moderate within the next 20 years.

I had posted here at SWJ a short comment that the coming replacement for Khamanie is rumored to be a VERSION 3 of Khomenie.....WHICH does not bode well for Syria and or Iranian ballistic missiles OR moderation.
Obama never seems to learn either from reality and or history.....so much for the vaulted Harvard experience...maybe he should have studied at the University of Texas or Rice University where they have great ME departments..........

Wow! Just read through some of the pro-Russian / pro-Assad hatred vs. me.
They go 100% nuts.
Now, I'm a nazi jihadi islamist fascist ...
Kh-55SM vs. Kh-555. (I think the shark mouth on Kh-55SM is optional, and doesn't improve efficiency.)

Yup. My impression is that - because Jordan is relatively poor and heavily dependent on US support for survival - USA have it easier to exercise pressure upon local government and security agencies in relation to 'aid' these are providing to the insurgents.
Thus, a long-prepared 'big offensive' on Dera'a didn't happen, the last two months. On the contrary, this frontline was actually 'exceptionally quiet'.
On the contrary, USA obviously - and despite some fierce pressure - didn't manage to force Turkey to cease its support. That's why supplies continue to flow into northern Syria. On the contrary, Ankara even issued open threats related to SDF (read: YPG) presence west of Euphrates...
I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of topics during recent meeting between Erdo and Sadm.... erm... Salman.
