“Why are you holding us accountable for killing civilians in Syria, and you are killing them in Mosul? We will do the same as you,” said the regime Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem to a low-ranking US official.
The bluntness of al-Moallem’s comment is not strange as he said at the beginning of the revolution that we will remove Europe from the map after many European countries condemned the al-Assad regime’s crime against peaceful protesters.
According to a well-informed Western source with close ties to the US embassy in London, al-Moallem’s comment to the, fourth ranking, US official came before the Khan Shaykhun chemical massacre and the US bombing al-Shayrat airbase with Tom Hawk missiles.
Perhaps the regime interpreted the US official’s silence in response to al-Moallem’s comment as a green light to commit more crimes against the Syrians. However, Ammar Johmani’s source was unauthorized or unable to answer or clarify this issue.
At present, the regime is using various internationally banned weapons and relying on Shiite militias from Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon to advance in Hama’s northern country. The various ground forces are supported by the most intensive Russian air cover since the start of Russia’s intervention in Syria to al-Assad’s advantage. Al-Assad appears to be unconcerned with the American message sent in the form of the Tom Hawk missiles that targeted al-Shayrat.
The Western source predicted that America will not be silent about the regime excesses in Hama’s northern countryside. He also pointed out that a US strike could involve European countries that are close to the region and that “They may start by targeting the Lebanese Hezbollah forces in Syria.”
Ammar Johmani singularly publish information obtained from a private source in the British Labor Party regarding an Iranian message to the Shiite militias in Syria to concentrate on taking control of Khan Shaykhun city. Iran’s interest in covering the evidence of the chemical indicates possible Iranian involvement in the chemical attack. The regime and its auxiliary forces’ advances in north Hama add to the suspicion as these forces are aiming to regain control of Khan Shaykhun
