'The presence of the U.S. military on Syrian territory is an illegal act, an act of aggression,' Damascus' mission to the United Nations told Newsweek.
The embassy also said that Turkish officials have"communicated our concerns with the U.S." and, as Price said,"they acknowledged our security concerns."
Deployed across the front lines of the conflict, sometimes right beside U.S. troops, the SDF has issued protests to major powers about Turkey's plans. Speaking during a conference earlier this month, Syrian Democratic Council co-leader Ilham Ahmed said the SDF's political wing had been appealing to both Washington and Moscow to halt Ankara's plans, which she warned were only"helping ISIS to reorganize itself and revive again.
The Syrian government is also opposed to such Turkish action. Its military released a rare warning Tuesday that it"is ready to confront any possible aggression by this regime and its terrorist organizations." One such attack in May saw Russia's anti-aircraft batteries open fire on an Israeli jet, as Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz revealed Tuesday. He called it a"one-off incident," even as Moscow has continued to protest against such Israeli strikes that appear to continue unabated. A new attack Friday was reported to have killed three Syrian soldiers near Damascus.
