国际英语资讯:Syrian army breaks 3-year IS siege to Deir al-Zour

In the meantime, the Syrian cabinet said breaking the siege increases the determination to obliterate the terrorists until security and peace are restored in the entire Syria.

It also said a plan is underway to transport the wounded in Deir al-Zour to the capital Damascus to receive necessary medial treatment.

The cabinet also decided to launch an aerial bridge between Damascus and Deir al-Zour to secure the return of the displaced people from Deir al-Zour to their homes.

Trucks carrying aid and medical supplies are ready to head to Deir al-Zour, while the UN and the government airdropped food and aid to the besieged people during the besiege, according to the Ministry of Trade.

The Syrian government, however, blames the delay in reaching Deir al-Zour on the United States.

A statement issued earlier on Tuesday by the joint operation room of Syria's allies said the liberation of Deir al-Zour wouldn't have been delayed if it weren't for the U.S. and the coalition it's leading.

"The U.S. strike against Syrian military forces in Deir al-Zour helped Daesh expand in an attempt to control the entire city," the statement said.

The U.S. intervention has complicated the situation in Syria and prevented the Syrian army from advancing on several fronts.

Furthermore, the statement accused the U.S. of abetting IS, citing testimonies from captured IS militants about the U.S. involvement in transporting IS commanders from Deir al-Zour ahead of the entry of the Syrian army.
