This may sit better in the Syria thread (so cross-posted) where allegations of the Assad regime having a "Nelson's eye" to ISIS have been made.

So from Twitter (so maybe a "pinch of salt") just:
Seems Assad's army of terror finally started striking ISIL bases after largely ignoring, rather, aiding them, for more than a year. Assad is certainly not working on his free will. Either Iran ordered the strikes, or he realized if he doesn't strike, someone else/US will.
