"The decision might entail military actions beyond assessments in such ways that
it could rattle Tel Aviv or one of the Persian Gulf littoral states' capitals
which hosts the joint operations room with the Israeli officers in Yemen war,"
the Arabic-language al-Thabat reported on Saturday.
It also quoted a western diplomat in Oman as saying that the Syrian defense
system will likely this time target the fighter jets of the US and its allies,
including Israel, in case of any new aggression against Syria.
"In case of attack on Syria and violating the resistance front's redlines, the
decision made by Assad and Nasrallah will be put into force," al-Thabat claimed.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that the
US Army may build up its grouping of forces in the Middle East over 24 hours for
a missile strike against Syria.
"They [the United States] may build up missile capabilities for strikes on Syria
just over 24 hours. Currently, the strike grouping of the United States, France
and Great Britain comprises strategic and tactical aircraft at airbases in
Jordan, Kuwait and Crete. It consists of about 70 carriers, around 380 airborne
cruise missiles and also two US destroyers - USS Carney and USS Ross - each
carrying 28 Tomahawks on board," the Russian diplomat stated.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Monday that the US may have plans to use a
fake chemical attack in Syria to hit government forces with airstrikes, adding
that Washington is already building up strike capability in the Middle East.
