✅ Top Stories Today - Trump administration officials are warning Russia against sending new anti-aircraft weapons to Syria at the same time they are confirming U.S. troops will stay in the country after the final defeat of the Islamic State, in part to act as a check on Iranian ambitions.
The messages underscore the complexities facing U.S. policymakers as they deal with the various conflicts that have ripped Syria apart since 2011, and how deeply the U.S., Russia, Iran and Israel have been drawn into the conflict that began as street protests against the Assad regime.
The Russian pledge on Monday to ship S-300 anti-aircraft systems to Syria comes in response to the Syrian military having mistakenly shot down a Russian Il-20 spy plane last week as it was targeting Israeli F-16s operating over the country.
Moscow has laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of Israel, saying the Israeli jets were intentionally flying close to the Russian plane, leading to the case of mistaken identity and the deadly shootdown that killed 15 Russian troops.
The S-300 would represent a major upgrade over the older Russian-made systems the Syrians currently use, and would put U.S., coalition, and Israeli jets under much greater danger of being shot down if the system was used against them in missions over Syria.
Speaking with reporters at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York on Monday, National Security Advisor John Bolton warned that “introducing the S-300s to the Syrian government would be a significant escalation by the Russians.”
