The sources told the newspaper that Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi sent his national security Faleh Fayyad to President Bashar al-Assad on the eve of the start of the international coalition forces - the Arab air strikes on sites «Daash» in northern Syria and north-east in September 23 (last September), which carry a message on behalf of Washington that the regular forces «is not a target» US raids.

The Syrian News Agency Agency (SANA) reported that «al-Assad said during a meeting with Fayyad support any international effort to fight terrorism», as it was reported that US Secretary of State John Kerry told his Iraqi counterpart Ibrahim al-Jaafari and US Ambassador in New York, Samantha Bauer informed the Syrian Ambassador Bashar Jaafari intention forces Alliance hit «Daash» in Syria and the need not to trap air defenses fighter coalition that will not hit the regular forces.

She informed sources said the US raids on «Daash» in Syria has become «held hostage by Iranian decision for two reasons: first, the presence of US troops in Iraq, where you do not want the Obama administration, which finally agreed to send 1,500 expert, exposure to security risks and attacks from Iraqi militia. Second, that the war on Daash did not come authorization from the UN Security Council, but at the request of the Iraqi government to pursue the organization in Iraq and the safe haven anywhere »any in Syria.

They pointed out that these two issues «made my hands Obama tied expand choices, despite pressures from allies in the region and within the administration, as it is just a breach of Obama, this understanding will meet the exposure of troops to the dangers and doubt the legitimacy of the war on Daash», note that Moscow has always emphasized the need to War on «Daash» be a decision of the Security Council, most recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking after talks with his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem in Moscow yesterday.

The «Syrian National Coalition» Exhibitions Request «establish safe areas north of latitude 35 (northern border region with Turkey) and South Latitude 33 (southern region border with Jordan), and in Kalamoon province (north of Damascus)».

Also, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius asked two days before directing «Mlzbh strikes» forces the system in the countryside of Aleppo in the north of Syria «bailout Aleppo» and prevent the Syrian army's progress in the second largest city in the country.

But a senior Western high-level told «life» that the Obama administration says it is «have to think about what's behind the Syrian border and the security of US forces in Iraq when you receive requests from its allies under the guidance ambiguous strikes against the regime or approve the request of Turkey to establish safe zones and no-fly zone» northern Syria. He said Obama «does not want to annoy Iran because of the presence of US forces in Iraq and the lack of a negative impact on the negotiations on the nuclear issue», pointing out that this «standard will be essential in the coming months with the extension of negotiations seven months, or at least until after the March (March ) next, the proposed date of the political understanding. » The shows official said «life» that of the Western official said «Obama believes that the nuclear deal with Iran, which the crown Sizin him and his head».

On the other hand, is betting Western countries, according to the latest Western official, on three things for «change accounts» US President, concerning constantly pressures as a result of «lack of success» strategy announced by the defeat «Daash» in Iraq and «scaled» in Syria and the need to provide officials Administration «periodic review» to Congress in which the cuff tipped in favor of the Republicans, in addition to the start of the countdown to the end of his term after nearly two and a decline in some countries for its overt support of the Alliance.
