Syria warns U.S. against bombing ISIS without permission
BEIRUT — Syria’s foreign minister warned the U.S. on Monday not to conduct airstrikes inside Syria against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham group without Damascus’ consent, saying any such attack would be considered an aggression.
Walid Al-Moallem’s words appeared timed to try to pre-empt any U.S. military action in Syria. U.S. President Barack Obama has resisted ordering military action in Syria for three years, even after a deadly chemical weapons attack a year ago near Damascus he blamed on President Bashar Al-Assad’s government. But now, Obama faces pressure from his own military leaders to go after the Islamic State group inside Syria.
