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.
Kurdish PYD making arrangements for governance of Raqqa. Unlikely to sit well with the city's Arab tribes.

The head of the Duma "committee on international affairs" also claims the forces attacked by the #US were "fighting ISIS and Nusra".
Yep.
US Defense official says targeted forces were not #Syrian direct, but pro-regime Shia militia

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
Syrian FSA Humor is getting a tad sharper these days.....
