RNA - "By warmongering in Syria and Iraq, the US Democrats want to display that their failed plots in the past few years are still working in a bid to fool the US voters," Firouzabadi said on Saturday.
"They had for years promised victory against the terrorists in Syria and Iraq but now they have intensified the war for the sake and benefit of the terrorists," he added.
Referring to the US fighter jets' bombing of the Syrian army and popular forces' positions in Deir Ezzur and hiring terrorists to kill the Sunni Iraqi people, Firouzabadi said, "The US people should know that this violence and bloodshed which is being carried out with their tax money has now turned into an instrument to fool them."
The US-led coalition fighter jets once again conducted air raids over Deir Ezzur province on Friday, destroying another key bridge in the North of the provincial capital.
The US-led Coalition aircraft targeted al-Syasia Bridge in the city of Deir Ezzur on Friday which resulted in the destruction of the largest bridge in the province.
Last Monday, local sources in Deir Ezzur said the US airstrikes had destroyed more bridges and supply routes in the province, adding that 50 civilians were killed in the attacks.
"50 civilians, including women and children, were killed in the US-led coalition airstrikes on Deir Ezzur," the sources said.
A number of bridges have been destroyed by the bombers of the US-led Coalition in Deir Ezzur province in recent weeks, which, according to prominent analysts and politicians, is the Washington strategy to prevent the Syrian Army and its allies' further advances in the fight against the ISIL terrorists.
Local sources in Deir Ezzur said last Sunday that the US planes pounded 7 bridges in the past four days.
The bridges on the Euphrates in al-Mayadeen, al-Bu Kamal, al-Ashara, al-Basira, al-Tarif and al-Nowam in the Eastern and Western countryside of Deir Ezzur were attacked before the airstrike on al-Abbas bridge on Sunday.
The US-led Coalition's airstrikes had also destroyed al-Shihan Bridge near al-Salhin neighborhood in al-Bokamal countryside and Tarif Bridge in the Western countryside of Deir Ezzur that extends between Deir Ezzur and Raqqa provinces late September.
The bombers had also destroyed al-Asharah Bridge that links the two banks of the Euphrates River in the Eastern part of the Deir Ezzur province, only few hours after demolishing al-Mayadin Bridge in the same month.
The warplanes of US-led coalition targeted the Syrian army troops near the city of Deir Ezzur on September 17, leaving over 90 military personnel dead and a hundred wounded.
Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed a report by the Syrian state news agency that an ISIL offensive began right after Syrian Army positions were hit by the bombers of the US-led coalition.
The actions of the coalition “clearly paved the way for ISIL terrorists to attack the position and take control of it,” the agency said citing the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces.
The General Command called the bombing a “serious and blatant aggression” against Syrian forces, and said it was "conclusive evidence" that the US and its allies support ISIL terrorist group.
A day later, a military source disclosed that the ISIL launched attacks on the Syrian army positions in Deir Ezzur only 7 minutes after the US-led coalition's airstrikes.
The military source reiterated that the air and ground assault were highly coordinated.
A Syrian top official said the country's intelligence unit possesses an audio recording of a conversation between the ISIL group and the US military before the airstrikes by the US-led coalition on the Syrian army troops near Deir Ezzur on September 17.
The speaker of the People's Council of Syria, Hadiya Khalaf Abbas, said that after the US coalition's airstrikes on the government troops, US military directed terrorists' attack on the Syrian army.
