Zero Hedge: YouTube Shuts Down All Syrian State Channels As Idlib Assault Begins
Syrian state YouTube channels have been shut down this morning just as the Syrian Army's ground offensive has officially begun.

It is unclear whether or not the action is part of a broader move among US social media companies to close "Iran-linked" accounts, or if directly connected to events now rapidly unfolding in Idlib.
A number of Syria observers say the account closures could be connected with potential US plans for military action in response to the Syria-Russian forces air and ground attack on Idlib.

I agree, Assad would not be afraid.
Not with Russia and Iran behind him.
