LONDON: America is supporting ISIS in Syria and Middle East, said Syrian President Bashar ul Asad.
President Bashar al-Assad claimed Western powers are “becoming much weaker” in Syria, in a confident interview published Sunday in The Sunday Times.
“They don’t have a leg to stand on explaining to people what’s going on.
“ISIS (the Islamic State group) was smuggling oil and using Iraqi oilfields under American satellites and drones to make money, and the West was not saying anything.
This is a clear indication of the US support to ISIS, said Asad.
“Whereas here the Russians interfered and Isis started to shrink in every sense of the word.”
