Syria Slams US-led Coalition Over Destruction Of Two Bridges

The Syrian government has slammed the U.S.-led coalition for destroying two bridges over the Euphrates river this week while purportedly fighting ISIS .

Syria’s ambassador to the U.N. said the bridges had been used by hundreds of thousands of civilians.

In letters to the UN chief and the Security Council, the Syrian foreign minsitry said that the attacks “confirm the so-called international coalition’s intent to bomb and destroy Syrian infrastructure and economic and social establishments through repeated aggressive acts”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said warplanes most probably from the coalition hit the two bridges in Deir al-Zor province on Tuesday and Wednesday, making them unusable.

The Province is the same site where US warplanes “accidentally” attacked a Syrian Army base earlier this month killing dozens.

Press TV reports:

The ministry said said terror groups are the only beneficiaries of the US-led coalition’s attacks, which come under the pretext of a war against Daesh.

The letters reiterated that the US-led alliance’s raids run contrary to international rules and the UN Charter, calling on the world body to condemn this “deliberate” act of aggression.

The official SANA news agency reported that the bridges of al-Asharah and al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of the provincial capital city of Dayr al-Zawr were hit by the coalition’s warplanes on Wednesday.

Syria’s ambassador to the UN Bashar Ja’afari said the bridges had been used by hundreds of thousands of civilians in the area.

Meanwhile, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based rights group advocating militants in Syria, said the two bridges are now unusable, a situation which would impede aid deliveries and hamper movement of civilians.

Since 2014, the United States, along with a number of its allies, has been leading a so-called anti-terror campaign in Syria and neighboring Iraq.

Instead of helping to rein in the Takfiri terrorists, the air raids have killed many civilians, and caused extensive damage to the country’s infrastructure.

On September 17, a Syrian army airbase in Dayr al-Zawr came under attack by US-led warplanes in violation of a nationwide ceasefire deal, which had been mediated by Russia and the US.

More than 80 Syrian soldiers lost their lives and some 100 others were wounded in the US-led airstrikes, which helped Daesh terrorists make some gains in the area.

  1. Obviously the UN is totally US controlled. But you would think that alot of countries would be speaking out against these serious violations of international law.  I don’t know how much longer the world is going to submit to these agriegious violations,  but hopefully Russia and China will out a stop to them

    • They are the only sane countries not part of the globalists plan!  I never though I would ever hope for Russia and China to step in and make the world sane again!!  It must be opposite day (or decade)!  The US and UN need to be knocked to hell!  Its not in Russia’s interest for the globalists to create a global society in which threatens Russia’s and China’s sovereignty!  Putin is not dumb (unlike western politicians)!

  2. I have watched with great encouragement as Russia and China sign win win contracts where everyone benefits. It’s so pitiful that the morons running corporate policy in the US feel a need to be the only ones who benefit from world trade. The greed and corruption that is rampant in the US will be the total destruction of the US and maybe the world?

  3. OBAMA NEEDED TO BE IMPEACHED WHEN HE FIRST GOT THE PRESIDENCY THE MAN IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. OBAMA THEY WANT THEIR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BACK IDIOT.
