Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the United States is active in the settlement east of the Euphrates River in Syria, which is practically proceeding with the approach of dismantling Syria. 

"Although the US State Department and the White House have pledged that their sole goal is to expel the terrorists from Syria, we note that the United States is currently active in the concentration on the Euphrates," he said in a statement to the Italian magazine "Panorama" on Thursday. Eastern'. 

"The United States is actively pursuing a policy of dismantling Syria and its collapse and securing its military presence on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River," he said, adding that some US allies were encouraging the move.

"Unfortunately, we are facing a bitter situation, not only with regard to Russian-American relations, but also with other international issues when Washington's statements do not conform to its real actions," Lavrov was quoted as saying by Russia Today. 

Lavrov also said Russian-US relations continue to deteriorate because of the unjustified American fear of Russia, which led to the cancellation of US President Donald Trump's positive initiative on dialogue with Russia. 

He stressed that if some positive trends result from the US president, they completely eliminate it because of the unjustified American fear of Russia. "Terrorism in the American establishment makes them 'present our country as a threat,'" Lavrov said. 

He added that they in the American institution call for 'curb Russia regularly' using sanctions and other pressure mechanisms.

"It is understood that all this has resulted from internal political conflicts in Washington, and is not related to reality," Lavrov said.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraq is again striking ISIS targets across the border in Syria.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi orders the Air Force to strike Daesh leadership near al-Dashisha in Syrian territory,” Abadi tweeted Sunday morning, using an Arabic name for ISIS. 

As prime minister, Abadi is commander-in-chief of the Iraqi armed forces. 

The Iraqi Air Force confirmed they were “directing a painful blow” against a position of ISIS leaders south of al-Dashisha.

Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasool said the strikes were carried out in coordination with the Syrian government and the global anti-ISIS coalition said they had provided intelligence support for the operation. 

Baghdad considers the ongoing ISIS present in eastern Syria a security threat for Iraq.

“Our project has developed from fighting terror in Iraq to fighting terror in the region,” Abadi proclaimed last month. 

Al-Dashisha, a desert region along the Syrian border with Iraq in Deir ez-Zor province, is one of two pockets where the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by the coalition, is still combatting ISIS.

The SDF announced the final phase of their operations against ISIS last week.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The United States has increased the number of its troops in Iraq as opposed to a declared reduction of forces, a newspaper has claimed.

Qatari newspaper The New Arab quoted Iraqi military officials saying that U.S. forces in Iraq have increased, adding that the declaration of the reduction of those troops was “untrue”. The officials said the U.S. has even intensified the presence of its intelligence operators on the Iraqi-Syrian borders, especially at Habbaniya and Ain al-Assad bases (Anbar), as well as in Balad (Salahuddin), Qayyara (Mosul), Erbil and Mosul.

The U.S. forces are now situated in two camps, one at the Iraqi Tanaf crossing, and the other near the phosphate mines south of Qaem, Anbar, the newspaper quoted the officials saying.

Last March, the Iraqi parliament obliged the government to set a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country after the military operations against Islamic State militants ended last December.

The officials noted that those forces contribute to the rehabilitation of Iraqi artillery forces damaged by the war.

According to them, the latest Iraqi airstrikes on the Islamic State locations in Syria were carried out based on aerial photos provided by the Pentagon.

The U.S. has led an international coalition backing Iraqi forces against IS since 2014. The coalition declared late April the end of its land operations in Iraq, and shifting to training purposes. The Pentagon had said late 2017 it maintained slightly more than 8000 troops in Iraq.

Pentagon warns Assad: Do not touch our allies

The US Defense Department warned Syrian government forces against launching any attack on US military or US allies in Syria. 
In response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's talk about the possibility of using force against the "Syrian Democratic Forces", US Joint Chiefs of Staff Staff Director Kenneth Mackenzie said: "Any attack on US forces or their allies in Syria would be Bad policy for all parties concerned ". 
McKinsey added that military operations, carried out by the United States in cooperation with the "Syrian Democratic Forces", are still ongoing.
The Pentagon's comment comes in response to a statement made by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during an interview with RT television on Thursday, in which he said that the Syrian government would regain land in Syria's north and east controlled by the "Syrian Democratic Forces" Or by force, while hinting at the possibility of resorting to the expulsion of US forces from those territories. 
Assad said that Syria's "democratic forces" are now the main card of the United States on Syrian soil. "We are moving in different regions to defeat terrorists, and 
the only remaining problem in Syria is Syria's democratic forces. Before the negotiations, because the majority of these forces are Syrians, presumably they love their country, and do not want to be puppets of foreigners, that is what we assume, and therefore we have the same basis.
We have not trusted Americans for decades, not because of war, but because they always say something and do the opposite. They lie daily. So, we have the only option of living with each other as Syrians and forever. And the second option will resort to the liberation of those areas by force, and we have no other options, the presence of Americans or not. 
"The Syrian president:" The Americans have to leave, and will leave in some way. They came to Iraq without a legal basis, and see what happened to them. They have to learn the lesson. Iraq is no exception, and Syria is no exception. "

Iraqi and US forces take over the border between Iraq and Syria in Nineveh

01e13.jpg                                                                                                   Nineveh Anadol: An Iraqi force, accompanied by US advisers, received on Friday the border between Iraq and Syria in the desert west of Nineveh province, according to a military source. 
Colonel Ahmed al-Jubouri, commander of the operations of Nineveh (one of the formations of the army) that "the strength of the Iraqi army in the 15th Division and the 37th Brigade in the 9th Armored Division and US advisers received the border strip between Iraq and Syria west of Nineveh." 
He pointed out that «the two forces entered the villages of Umm Jaris and Umm al-Zeban and Tal Safok to secure the border strip stretching in the desert from Sinjar to the desert district of Al-Baaj west of Nineveh». 
"It is hoped that the force will establish a fixed military base on Mount Sinjar." 
In three years, Iraqi forces fought a war against the "Islamic state" that took control in the summer of 2014, about a third of Iraq's territory.
In December, Baghdad announced the completion of the restoration of the territory controlled by the organization. 
But the organization has sleeper cells throughout Iraq and returned to launch lightning attacks, as it did before 2014. 
The desert areas of the province of Nineveh (centered in the city of Mosul) pose a threat to the Iraqi security forces, because it is adjacent to the Syrian side of the border, which has not undergone complete purification , Which made it a suitable place for the cells of the "state" to rearrange their papers and launch attacks from time to time, according to Iraqi military sources.
