Syria denied an Iranian media report that it would host a series of war games with Iran, Russia, and China according to Reuters. The report, coming from Iranian news agency Fars, reports that 90,000 troops would join hundreds of ships, tanks and warplanes in Syria for joint exercises soon.
Bouthaina Shabaan, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, said, “There will be nothing like that. This is one of those [pieces of] false information that are distributed about [Syria.]”
