Representatives from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have urged US officials at talks in Washington to resume a suspended CIA program of military aid in order to count Iranian influence in Syria, according to Reuters. “We asked for the resumption of aid and explained the dangers of leaving moderate FSA forces without support.” The delegation also criticised the administration of former President Barak Obama, saying that he had given Iran a “free ride” in Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the decision on Monday, stating that Turkish forces would launch an offensive on the Kurdish-held region of Afrin in response.
