Despite media reports suggesting Russia has already removed almost half of its forces from Syria, and the White House confirming earlier in the day that Russia was moving forward with its commitment to withdraw, the Pentagon is denying anything is happening.
“We have not seen a significant reduction, frankly, in their combat power,”
“Truce violation? Where?”
“Pullout? What pullout?”—Pentagram Pete
TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Chief Liaison of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force General Ali Arasteh said Tehran has documents that show the delivery of 75 vehicles loaded with weaponry to the ISIL terrorist group.
General Arasteh said on Wednesday some governments claim to be fighting ISIL, but at the same time supply the terrorist group with “37 vehicles and 38 trailers loaded with weapons and military equipment.”
“We have the images and the documents to substantiate and we will make them public in due time,” he added.
In relevant remarks in April, top commander of the Iranian Armed Forces said the US military planes are making regular flights to and from airports ISIL-controlled cities to supply the terrorist group with weapons, money and foodstuff.
