MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : PREPARING FOR THE STRIKE CONTRA ASSAD – Coalition Jets Hovering over Iraq-Syria Border

Basnews English – 12/04/2018 – Coalition Jets Hovering over Iraq-Syria Border – ERBIL — As tensions escalate over Syria, the US-led Coalition has reportedly sent warplanes to the country’s border region with Iraq, a source said on Wednesday.“The coalition jets have been heavily hovering over the al-Tanf region on the border between Iraq and Syria, without clarifying the reasons for that,” the source told al-Maalomah website.

“Security leaders deployed in the western side of the province have no information about the operations made by the Coalition jets,” he added, as reported by Iraqi News.“Security forces are getting ready for an operation that targets the dormant cells of Islamic State in the western desert of Anbar reaching to the Iraqi-Syrian borders.” The increase in US airforce presence in the region comes after President Donald Trump warned earlier the day that a military action against Bashar al-Assad’s regime was possible and imminent. www.mesop.de
