The US-led Coalition has once again accused the Syrian military of building up its forces along the eastern bank of the Euphrates River...
ReplyDeleteAccording to a new report from CNN, the Syrian military (described as “pro-Syrian regime forces”) were observed building up their forces near the US-led Coalition’s front-lines in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
“The pro-regime forces are assembling near where similar forces allied with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad initiated an unprovoked attack on US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces,” US Army Col. Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the coalition told CNN.
Dillion claimed that the US-led Coalition is usually the first party to attempt to deescalate the situation; however, they have no direct channels of communication with the Syrian military outside of their Russian counterparts.
The Syrian government has repeatedly called on the US to withdraw its forces from Syria, adding that they are illegally operating inside the country.
