A pro-government media activist, Ivan Sidorenko, has released photos showing troops and technicals equipped with machine guns en route to the desert east of the Syrian capital of Damascus.
The Syrian military is deploying reinforcements near the al-Seen Military Airbase ahead of that what many describe as a preparation move for a large advance aimed at reaching the Syrian-Iraqi border and taking control over the al-Tanaf border crossing.
Both the Syrian-Iranian-Russian coalition and the US-led block with their proxies on the ground in the war-torn country see the Syrian-Iraqi border as an important area where they should increase their influence. The control over the border will also allow to set a foothold for taking control over the city of Deir Ezzor and oil fields in its countryside.
