TEHRAN, February 8 - A strike by the US-led coalition on Syrian pro-government forces is an unprecedented act of aggression, Russian Senator Franz Klintsevich said.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “The actions of the US coalition do not comply with legal norms. Beyond all doubt, it is aggression,” Klintsevich, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council’s Committee for Defense and Security, told Interfax on Thursday.
“The Americans have never acted so openly before in Syria – this is unprecedented.”
On Wednesday, the US-led coalition said it carried out several “defensive” airstrikes on Syrian forces in retaliation for what they described as an “unprovoked” attack on the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and foreign military “advisers.”
More than 100 fighters aligned with Syrian President Bashar Assad were killed in the strike, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed US official.
The retaliatory attack was carried out after Syrian “pro-regime forces initiated an unprovoked attack against well-established Syrian Democratic Forces headquarters,” the coalition claimed.
