A Russian military source acknowledged the death of 11 people, including two children and three women, whilst 11 others are believed to have been injured in the violence.

WNU Editor: No reporting from the West on these clashes. But Russian social media has been talking about growing tensions between Russian and Iranian-backed forces in Syria for the past few months.

Under Obama, the mullahs were flush with cash, weapons, murderous allies and god knows what else. Everybody happy.
Under Trump the cash flow has been curtailed so no more easy money and everybody in Syria is fighting over the rubble heaps for whatever they can get. Also the Kurdish controlled east is very quiet, knock on wood, with no reports of infighting.
This shows how evil Islam is.
The Iranians and their militias might have won in Syria, but it is doubtful that they would have without Russian help. If they did their casualty list would have been a lot higher.
Hezbollahd had many people who were discintent withtheir high casualty rate before the tide began to turn.
If Israel is the Little Satan and America is the Great Satan, is Russian the Northen Satan, in Iranian polemic?
The civilized world and Islam cannot coexist.
Islam gets rid of 50% of humankind's brainpower off the top with the discrimination and subjugation of women.
I should have said thanks WNU!!
