presstv.ir – De-escalation zones don’t mean Turkish troops presence: Syria official

The Syrian government has welcomed an agreement on implementing lasting ceasefire in a de-escalation zone in the conflict-plagued Arab country, stressing such a consensus does not grant Turkish military forces authorization to stay in Syria.

presstv.ir – Syrian troops will fight US-backed militia to free Arab country: Assad aide

The political and media adviser to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says government troops, backed by fighters from allied popular defense groups, will fight any force, including the US-backed militia, to fully liberate the Arab country plagued with terrorism for over six years.
“Whether it’s the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), or Daesh or any illegitimate foreign force in the country… we will fight and work against them so our land is freed completely from any aggressor,” said Bouthaina Shaaban in an exclusive interview with Lebanon-based Arabic-language al-Manar television network on Friday.
She added that the US-backed SDF forces had managed to capture areas in northeastern Syria from Daesh “without any fighting,” implying that the Takfiri militants were working hand in glove with the SDF to take oil-rich areas.
“But they will not get what they want,” the Syrian official added.

Varifrån har al-Qaida och andra extremistgrupper i Syrien fått alla sina vapen? Jo, bland annat har Natoländer och deras allierade i hemlighet flugit in tonvis av gamla östeuropeiska vapen – med diplomatflyg. Det avslöjar den bulgariska journalisten Dilyana Gaytandzhieva. Men avslöjandet har mötts med tystnad och Gaytandzhieva har fått sparken.

ronpaulinstitute.org – Bombshell Report Catches Pentagon Falsifying Paperwork For Weapons Transfers To Syrian Rebels

The fact that Foreign Policy, which is the foremost establishment national security publication in the world, would admit that the Pentagon’s Syria weapons procurement program is tied to East European organized crime is itself hugely significant. At this point the evidence is simply so overwhelming that even establishment sources like FP – which itself has generally been pro-interventionist on Syria – can’t deny it.
FP further reports that the Pentagon program ”appears to be turbocharging a shadowy world of Eastern European arms dealers.” And adds further that, ”the Pentagon is reportedly removing documentary evidence about just who will ultimately be using the weapons, potentially weakening one of the bulwarks of international protocols against illicit arms dealing.”
…
Late last month we featured the story of Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, who was fired from her job after being interrogated by national intelligence officials for exposing the same Pentagon arms network which is the subject of the latest OCCRP/BIRN investigation.

dw.com – US sent weapons to Syria through Ramstein military base – report

The US military has been using its massive air base in western Germany to arm rebel groups in Syria without Berlin’s permission, according to a report from German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung published on Wednesday.
The US military may have violated German law with the alleged weapons transfers as the German government has not approved any weapons transports of this type since the conflict in Syria began in 2011.

rt.com – Israeli plane strikes Syrian positions in Hama province, kills two servicemen – Syrian Army

The incident took place early on Thursday, when an Israeli aircraft launched several missiles from Lebanese airspace, targeting Syrian Army positions near the city of Masyaf in Hama province. The attack killed two servicemen and inflicted material damage, SANA news agency reports, citing Syrian general command’s statement.
Syria’s general command has warned of “dangerous repercussions of this aggressive action to the security and stability of the region” while reiterating its “resolve and determination to crush terrorism and uproot it from all the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic” regardless of the terrorist groups’ allegiances and sources of support.

Trupperna följs av hjälptransporter. Staden med omkring 100.000 kvarvarande invånare har varit belägrad av terrorgruppen IS sedan augusti 2014.
Att belägringen bryts är en stor framgång för Syrien och dess folk i kampen mot terrorismen och för fredlig återbyggnad av det krigshärjade landet.

John Wight – Deir ez-Zor Siege Finally Broken: A Story of Courage and Heroism Rarely Matched

Of all the seismic events that have punctuated the Syrian conflict, none equals the significance of the Syrian Arab Army’s success in breaking the siege of Deir ez-Zor.
Even more significant than the military operation to relieve the city in the east of the country — an operation spearheaded by the famed Tiger Forces of the Syrian Army, along with Hezbollah and with Russian air and naval support — has been the achievement of the estimated 7000 Syrian troops in successfully defending the city from repeated attempts by Daesh to storm it over the three years it lay under siege.

Syriska armén går framåt i kampen mot ISIS. Nu har man brutit belägringen av Deir Ezzor.
almasdarnews.com – Syrian Army lifts the siege on Deir Ezzor

Idag går västmedierna ut med inlägg om att en FN-grupp slagit fast att det var syriska armén som låg bakom kemvapen-händelsen den 4 april i år. Inga nya bevis läggs fram.
En anledning till att denna mediaoffensiv pressas fram just nu kanske är det här –

almasdarnews.com – Israeli media begs US to prepare for a war with Syria, Russia, Iran

Israeli media has reached the new moral low of openly begging the United States to prepare for war in Syria even if it means coming into direct confrontation with major Syrian allies like Russia and Iran.
In a recent article titled “Why Israel needs to Prepare America for the Upcoming War in Syria,” Jerusalem Post writer Eric R. Mandel (an American Zionist) proposes that the US government and people must be made war-willing partners of Israel in the event of any future attack by the Israeli Defense Forces against Syrian, Russian and/ or Iranian military targets.

nyhetsbanken.se – Västlig förbittring när Syriens armé går fram

Den syriska regeringsarmén har brutit Islamiska statens tre år långa omringning av staden Deir ez-Zor.
Enligt FN-medlaren Staffan de Mistura bör oppositionen nu se ”vart vinden blåser”.
Men det är knappast en slump att det samtidigt sker en internationell desinformationsattack på den syriska regeringen för att än en gång anklaga denna för krigsförbrytelser.
En tremannapanel utsedd av FN:s råd för mänskliga rättigheter använder FN:s goda namn till att sprida obevisade lögner.
Sveriges Radio (P3) och en rad internationella media (not) har redan pumpat ut nyheten att FN alternativt en gemensam expertpanel för FN och OPCW (organisationen för förbud av kemiska vapen) skulle ha slagit fast att det var den syriska regeringen som bombade med sarin i Khan Sheikhoun i april. Och bomberna skulle förstås ha varit ryska!
Inget av detta kommer från någon behörig instans i FN eller OPCW.
