| [AlManar] The Syrian army and allies continued fortifying the positions they had regained from ISIL terrorists on the border with Iraq, according to Al-Manar TV report. The Syrian army and allies managed on Friday to control an area of 5000 kilometers in the Desert after they had regained 15000 kilometers, reaching the border with Iraq in northeastern Tanaf city. Al-Manar crew inspected a border position which is controlled by the Syrian army and allies and 100 kilometers away from Tanaf. Al-Manar reporter said that the Syrian vehicles in the Desert started paving a way which reaches the border with Iraq. The reporter also stressed that the Syrian army is still reinforcing its forces in the Desert and on the border with Iraq by dispatching more units from Suwaida in southern Damascus and from Palmyra. The target is to besiege ISIL terrorists in Deir Ezzor province, according to Al-Manar reporter. The following video is captured by Al-Manar crew and shows the Syrian border with Iraq in northeastern Tanaf. Video at the link |

| #1 When they say "Syrian Army" what they mean is "Russian and Iran army". What is happenning under Trump's nose is that Putin and the Ayatollas are establishing their control on the Iraq/Syria border. In other words, free and convenient land bridge enabling Iran's militias and even army to freely move into Syria and to supply Hizballa with heavy weapons and position Israel into a pincers situation where Hizballa controls the Israel/Lebanon border, Iran controls the syrian side of the Golan heights and Hamas/Iran are on the southern border (classical three front situation). If Trump does not stop the Moscow/Tehran Axis from completing this maneuver, sooner or later the IDF will have to take the initiative and initiate a preemptive strike on at least one of the fronts (my guess would be Hizballa first but could also be Hamas). This is a critical strategic issue to Israel, which if ignored could become explosive and because of the involvement of the Russians may trigger a big conflagration in the ME dragging the US into this willy nilly. OTOH, if this happens, it may be a great opportunity for Israel to strike strategic targets in Iran/Lebanon. Prepare the popcorn. |
