Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Tunisia and Iran are the only countries who have sent help to #Syria to cope with the earthquake's aftermath. Russia has sent troops and doctors from its Hmeimim airbase in the country.

The false posturing of western politicians is disgusting. An Iranian cargo plane arrived with earthquake assistance to Syria 2 hours ago.

Western media reporting on Ukrainian Nazis back in 2014-15, are today calling this "Russian propaganda." See what these very outlets wrote 8 years ago:

Volunteer Ukrainian unit includes Nazis usatoday.com/story/news/wor… via @usatoday Foreign Policy magazine: "Pro-Russian forces have said they are fighting against Ukrainian nationalists and “fascists” in the conflict, and in the case of Azov and other battalions, these claims are essentially true." foreignpolicy.com/2014/08/30/pre…

While #Lebanon's politicians jockey for power & money, Hezbollah launches a supermarket chain with subsidised food staples to help the Lebanese people overcome the US' "starvation sanctions." Just one more reason why Hezbollah wins elections and America wants them crushed. This US product now costs over $50 at the official bank rate, and yet it is still on #Lebanon's market shelves. Food products from Syria, Iran, Jordan are a fraction of that price, but the US threatens sanctions if goods pass through Syria, Lebanon's only viable land border.

White Helmets need more donations so they stuck a little girl down one of their war tunnels - oops, I mean "well" - and then "saved" her.
@Reuters, your journalism has hit rock bottom, pun intended.

1. The girl falls down an extremely deep, rocky hole and appears to have no limbs broken and no bleeding whatsoever.

2. She then crawls AWAY from the one source of light (the hole entrance) into a maze of tunnels.

NEW: #Iran protests: What western media got wrong again. Two polls show that despite economic hardship, Iranians choose security over upheaval, support their government's regional role, reject America & applaud the #IRGC's internal and external activities. rt.com/op-ed/474464-i… October 2019: On the IRGC...
- 82% of Iranians said IRGC made Iran more secure
- 89% gave IRGC top marks for aid during 2019 floods
- 63% say IRGC should engage in construction & economy
- 61% support IRGC continued presence in Syria
- 82% favor Quds Forces's Qassem Soleimani

#Israel is escalating aggressively in the region, striking sovereign, #UN-member states #Iraq, #Syria & #Lebanon in violation of international law. Important to note that any retaliatory measures from within any of these states against Israel & its military allies are legal. Int'l law only allows "use of force" vs a sovereign state 1) in self-defense; retaliation against military aggression upon a state's territorial integrity 2) UNSC-authorized "collective action" to maintain int'l peace & security. #Israel has neither of these legal justifications.

Thread: @Guardian 'journalist' Martin Chulov wrote an entire piece about #Idlib today, without even once mentioning Al Qaeda, the dominant militant force in that province. theguardian.com/world/2019/may… 2) Don't take it from me. US envoy for the anti-ISIS coalition @brett_mcgurk last year called #Idlib "the largest Al Qaeda safe haven since 9/11." So, why didn't Chulov mention it? @guardian

Just finished a whirlwind trip to all of #Syria’s southern provinces whose fates depend on the battles/negotiations in the days and weeks ahead. Here’s a view of Israeli-occupied Majd al Shams on the Syrian Golan. Abu Abdo, the father of Druze martyr Abdo Tawil, stands in front of a “martyr tree” in Hadar, Quneitra. To a man, the Druze of Hadar tell me that Israeli firepower provides cover for the Islamist militants every time they try to storm this defiant town. #Syria

Was in #EastGhouta today, 25 meters from a battlefront btwn Shifouniyeh & Misraba, areas recently liberated from militants. Western journalists flock to humanitarian corridor in north, but not a single one visited this makeshift chemical lab discovered by the SAA yesterday. With the US threatening direct attacks on #Syria because of alleged chemical weapons use, and the Russians & Syrians claiming militants are using CWs to provoke a US attack...you would think western journalists would be all over this terrorist-run lab - even if to debunk it.

A detailed reminder that the US-armed "Free Syrian Army" was mainly a PR front for Al Qaeda, ISIS and other jihadist terrorism in #Syria. A must-read: libertarianinstitute.org/foreign-policy… 2) Inside #Syria, since the beginning, it was always understood that there was essentially no difference between US-armed FSA "rebels" and Nusra/terrorists. The FSA said it themselves:
