JTA: Rex Tillerson: US wants Iran out of Syria
WASHINGTON (JTA) — A condition of U.S. cooperation with Russia in the Syria arena is the removal of Iranian forces from the country, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.
“The direct presence of Iranian military forces inside of Syria, they must leave and go home, whether those are Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces or whether those are paid militias, foreign fighters, that Iran has brought into Syria in this battle,” Tillerson said Wednesday in a wide-ranging news conference.
The other condition, Tillerson said, was that the end result should be a unified Syria with “new leadership” — the removal of the Assad regime.
Israel expressed concerns last month at the terms of a proposed cease-fire in the civil war in southern Syria in part because it left Iranian forces in place. Israel’s deadliest enemies in the region are Iran and its Lebanese ally, the Hezbollah militia, and it wants them removed from Syria as part of any endgame.

WNU editor: I find it interesting that most outlets are muddying US Secretary of State Tillerson's U.S. conditions that need to be met before the U.S. works with Russia to bring peace to Syria. Most outlets are framing the story like this .... U.S. is working with Russia to prevent a new war in Syria, Tillerson says (Newsweek), or on Twitter accounts (see here). As to the question "will Russia accept them?" .... for now the answer is no.

Wow, I did not know that reporting was high falutin as particle physics
I mean those journalist dudes have their own Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Maybe reporters should dress up and wear white lab coats and have pocket protectors.
In March:
"Shifting the long-standing US policy, the Trump Administration has indicated its acceptance of Syria’s President Assad remaining in power.
The announcement came in a statement by UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and a brief but pointed comment by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during his meetings in Turkey."

It's pretty clear the US under Hair Furour, really has no actual "policies",
They just throw words out there with out care or cosequence,
Who knew, that Hair Twitler's twitter, where for each statement and promise, there is an equal, but opposite statement or promise,
Would be mirrored by Hair Twitler's Alt-Reich House,
LMFAO.
LFMAO,
You are always funny, and I appreciate. But what about the LLG ( Liberal Left Gestapo) and the SSJ (Sadistic Socialist Journalism) ?
LMFAO,
In the ghost written "Art of the Deal",Hair Twitler lays out that the basic negotiation platform starts with:
Principals, that are non negotiation able,
And Positions, that are negotiation able,
In the 6 months so far of the alt-Reich House, so far, they've abandoned 14 years of so called "principals",
Ditto for positions.
Basically, in 6 months, the alt -reich house has telegraphed that they will, eventually, accept what ever minimalist position on Syria, the Russian's, the Syrians, and the Iranians, offer them.
LMFAO
