Russia and Iran are launching their first military exercises under the nose of Israel and the Americans are redoubling their actions on the Syrian-Iraqi border.

Will they go so far as to hit the Syrian-Russian-Iranian forces to cut off the Iran-Mediterranean corridor under the pretext of protecting Israel ? Hadi al-Khorasani, commander of the Popular Mobilization Units (Hachd al-Sha'bi) revealed on Wednesday that US forces were conducting exercises and activities on the Syrian border to make the ground conducive to ISIS terrorists to infiltrate the Iraqi desert.

"The security forces and hachd al-Chaabi fighters have taken complete control of the border with Syria," he said. He continued: "There are areas on the border strip that are under the control of American forces". He stressed that the Americans were carrying out manoeuvres and actions to open gaps to the daeshists fleeing Syria planning to enter Iraq. "The Americans piloted drones in the Al-Anbar desert to find and locate a path free of the presence of security forces in order to facilitate the penetration of ISIS terrorists into Iraqi territory," he said.
