CONFIRMED: Syrian Arab Army takes control of Jordanian border
The
move will help stop the inflow of terrorists into southern Syria.

Fierce
fighting with ISIS and US backed jihadists in southern Syria has been
ongoing for months. In June, two convoys of Syrian and allied
soldiers came under fire from US forces illegally operating in the
desert areas of southern Syria near the borders with Iraq and Jordan.
Today,
the Russian General Staff announced that Syrian forces are now in
full control of 105 kilometres of the border with Jordan. Jordan
which for decades has been hostile to Syria has been an important
passage for terrorists and illegal armed forces entering Syria.
The
Russian General Staff who work closely with the Syrian Arab Army as
part of the anti-terrorist coalition in the country issued the
following statement as offered by Russian Colonel General Sergey
Surovikin,
“As
part of the advance of the Syrian army and militia on Daesh’s
(ISIS) positions, the control over 105 kilometres of the
Syrian-Jordanian border has been restored
The
efforts of the government forces on establishing full control over
the Syrian-Jordanian border and the border with Iraq continue”.
This
not only will help seal off areas where militants can enter Syria but
crucially it will send a clear message to the Jordanian armed forces
that their presence will not be allowed nor tolerated in Syria.
This
comes as Russia offers further condemnation to American acts of
aggression against Syrian troops fighting terrorists.
Colonel
General Sergey Surovikin spoke of Russia’s view saying,
“The
coalition (US) air forces and the strongholds of the forces of New
Syrian Army (now known as the Revolutionary Commando Army) have
blocked the way of the government forces, tasked with defeating IS
(ISIS) groups”.
He
further encouraged the United States to commit to an actual fight
against terrorism by helping rather than hindering efforts of the
legitimate Syrian led coalition.
Further
unconfirmed reports suggest that the Syrian Arab Army and allied
forces have pushed closer to the Iraqi border where they rendezvoused
with allied Iraqi troops and Iraqi Shi’a volunteers.
The
overall effect of these recent developments means that the Syrian
Arab Army now has more or less a clear path to Deir ez-Zor, one of
the last major ISIS strongholds in Syria.
Iran
Moving Tanks and Troops Closer To US Coalition in At Tanf Syria
Iran Moving tanks and soldiers near At Tanf Syria, will Iran try to launch an attack on US Forces inside Syria after fighting along side US Special Forces in side Iraq? The decisions by the US coalition seem to be in fact to draw out Iran into conflict as well as the Syrian military to justify bringing down Damascus and Iran. General Wesley Clark seem to imply this as well when he leaked that the US was targeting Syria and Iran as part of the 7 nations to destroy.
North Korea has improved on its accuracy of its own Cruise Missiles and South Korea fears this will be used to target US ships in the event of war.

The U.S.-led coalition in Iraq and Syria appears to have used white phosphorus-loaded munitions on at least two occasions in densely populated areas of Mosul and in the Islamic State’s de facto capital of Raqqa, according to videos posted online and human rights groups.
The often-controversial munitions are common in western militaries and are used primarily to create smoke screens, though they can also be dropped as an incendiary weapon. When a white phosphorus shell explodes, the chemical inside reacts with the air, creating a thick white cloud. When it comes in contact with flesh, it can maim and kill by burning to the bone.
Russia:
US Coalition Providing Safe Corridors For ISIS To Flee Raqqa
The
Russian military claims it has struck several ISIS convoys as they
left the city besieged by U.S. and allied rebel forces.

MOSCOW
— The Russian military has accused the U.S.-led coalition in Syria
of providing safe corridors for the Islamic State group to leave the
area around its stronghold of Raqqa.
Col.
Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the commander of Russian forces in Syria, said
earlier this month that IS has made a deal with the Kurdish forces to
leave two villages southwest of Raqqa and move toward Palmyra.
Surovikin
said Friday the U.S.-coalition along with the allied Kurds “collude
with the leaders of the IS, who surrender the areas under their
control and head to provinces where Syrian government forces
operate.”
He
said Russian forces have struck several ISIS convoys as they left
Raqqa.
Surovikin
also criticized the U.S. for trying to block Syrian government forces
from taking control of the country’s southern border.
Washington
is harboring a plan for a new "color revolution" in Syria,
seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and replace him with
a pro-American submissive government, Russian Senator and
intelligence veteran Igor Morozov told RIA Novosti.
The
US is preparing a large-scale operation aimed at toppling Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad and replacing him with a pro-American
puppet regime, Russian Senator Igor Morozov, a member of the
Federation Council's Foreign Affairs Committee, believes.
After
the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was bombarded by rebel rockets and
American airstrikes on Thursday, a platoon of government troops was
ambushed today by Free Syrian Army (FSA) groups operating in Rif
Dimashq desert.
If
one is to believe the FSA media wing of Osoud Al-Sharqiya, “dozens”
of SAA soldiers were killed or captured near the village of Bir
Qassab on Friday.
Rebel
forces also retook the Bastema Hill which neighbors the Dawka area
that was captured by the SAA yesterday. The Ahmad Al-Abdo Martyrs
Brigade and Maghawir al-Thawara were also loosely involved in the FSA
ambush and counter-attack.
In
addition to the aforementioned territorial advance, the US-backed FSA
militants claimed to have shot dead an unnamed Brigadier General.
The
Bir Qassab area will likely be the next target of the SAA’s ongoing
offensive which looks to expel FSA insurgents from a pocket of desert
territory on the provincial border between Sweida and Rif Dimashq.
