The US Department of State warned Syria of new missile and air strikes.

Against the background of how the Syrian government forces plan to regain control of the territory in the south-west of the Arab Republic, the US State Department announced its readiness to take decisive action in case Syrian tanks, rockets and planes approach the border of Jordan and Israel.

"Any military action by the Syrian government forces in the south-west of the country, in the de-escalation of the military conflict, will lead to increased confrontation. We reaffirm that the United States will take firm and decisive action in response to violations of the Syrian government in this field ", the US Department of State said in a statement.

Speech, according to experts, is mainly about the infliction of new missile and air strikes on the territory of Syria, and given the presence in the Mediterranean Sea of ​​the US carrier strike group, the consequences of US intervention may be very bad for Syria.

Earlier, the Syrian authorities announced an ultimatum delivered to militants occupying the region of the country bordering Israel and Jordan, in particular, after an expiration of 48 hours, the militants must either lay down their arms and leave the designated territory, or Syrian government troops, together with Russian VCS, a large-scale offensive operation, in which a large number of combat aviation assets are to be deployed.

Given the US threat to Syria, it is likely that the operation to free the southwest of Syria will fall on Russian military aircraft.
