Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
Pentagon officials warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that any attempt to remove the United States from the country by force will be met with an “armed response.”
Director of Staff General Kenneth McKenzie explained that any party in Syria should understand that attacking US forces or its coalition partners would be “a bad policy.”
He made the warning after Mr Assad said in an interview with RT that the US was “losing its cards” in Syria and demanded they leave the country, accusing them of prolonging the seven-year war.
