US attempting to establish illegal entity east of Euphrates: Russian FM
2018-10-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] The U.S. is attempting to establish an illegal entity east of the Euphrates River, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.

The Russian Foreign Minister said that the U.S. attempting to create a group to fight the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies, including the Iranian-backed forces.

Lavrov did not specify what this entity is going to be comprised of, nor did he mention the basis of this information.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
Lavrov’s comments come just days after his U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo said that the Washington has two main goals in Syria: 1) defeat the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) and 2) force the withdrawal of the Iranian forces and their allies.

The U.S. and Iranian forces have rarely come across one another in Syria, but Washington is concerned about Tehran’s continued presence inside the country, as it threatens Israel’s safety.
