U.S. warplanes bombed pro-regime Syrian forces backed by Iran in southern Syria on Tuesday, after those forces ignored repeated warnings to leave 35-mile safe zone the U.S. set up to train anti-Islamic State fighters.

A statement from U.S. Central Command said coalition planes destroyed two artillery pieces, an anti-aircraft weapon, and damaged a tank after issuing several warnings through the so-called de-confliction line with Russia.

There is one HUGE lie buried in that news article. Can you spot it?

It's the phrase "anti-Islamic State fighters".

We are training Free Syrian Army jihadists at that base, and their enemy is the Syrian regime, not ISIS.

Just note how the war map in that region looks today.



The blue bomb is our action.

The red guns all around it are FSA jihadists attacking Iranian-backed, pro-Assad militias, who are probably from Iraq.

So what is really going on is our official backing of Syria regime change forces (as opposed to our unofficial stance of the last decade).

Also today the Kurdish-led SDF entered Raqqa today.

The end of ISIS is at hand.

The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Tuesday it had launched an operation to capture Raqqa, Islamic State's de facto Syrian capital, piling pressure on the jihadists whose self-declared caliphate is in retreat across Syria and Iraq.

SDF spokesman Talal Silo told Reuters the battle started on Monday and the fighting would be fierce "because Daesh (Islamic State) will die to defend their so-called capital".
