Serangan berikut ucapan Presiden Obama awal bulan
ini, di mana beliau berkata bahawa Amerika Syarikat bersedia untuk
"menjalankan kempen sistematik serangan udara" terhadap pengganas
Negara Islam "di mana jua mereka berada."
"Ini bermakna saya tidak akan teragak-agak
untuk mengambil tindakan terhadap Isil (ISIS/IS) di Syria dan Iraq," kata
Obama pada September hingga 10 Tentera Amerika Syarika telah dijalankan lebih
200 serangan ke atas sasaran Negara Islam di Iraq.
Selasa lalu, Setiausaha Pertahanan Amerika Syarika
Chuck Hagel mengesahkan bahwa Perintah Tengah Amerika Syarika mempunyai
rancangan utk mengambil "tindakan disasarkan terhadap ISIS tempat
selamat di Syria," termasuk infra-struktur menarik.
Amerika Syarika juga akan melatih dan melengkapkan
5,000 anggota pem-bangkang Syria untuk melawan militan dari IS. Apa yang
dipanggil pembangkang 'sederhana' dilihat oleh Amerika Syarikat sebagai kuasa
yang sah di Syria sejak kerajaan Assad telah lama kehilangan legitimasinya,
menurut pegawai-pegawai Amerika Syarikat.
Lebih daripada 40 negara telah berkata mereka akan
mengambil bahagian dalam perang salib Negeri anti-Islam, dengan lebih daripada
30 negara2 yang mena-warkan sokongan ketenteraan, menurut Hagel.
Kerajaan Syria bersedia untuk bekerjasama dalam
menyelaras serangan pada jihad Islam, yang negara ini telah berjuang selama
lebih 3 tahun, tetapi pegawai2 Amerika Syarika menolak sebarang
kemungkinan kerjasama tersebut. Apa-apa serangan di tanah Syria tanpa kebenaran
Damsyik akan satu tindakan yang agresif, Syria telah memberi amaran.
Washington sepatutnya menghormati kedaulatan Syria
dalam percubaan untuk berurusan dgn Negara Islam, Rusia tlh memberi amaran
berulang kali. Moscow sebelum ini menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa Amerika
Syarikat serangan udara boleh mensasarkan bukan sahaja Negara Islam, tetapi
juga tentera kerajaan yang setia kepada Presiden Assad.
Dalam perbualan telefon dengan Setiausaha Agung PBB
Ban Ki-moon pada hari Isnin, Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin menegaskan bahawa
serangan udara ke atas sasaran pengganas di Syria tdk boleh dilakukan tanpa
persetujuan kerajaan Syria.
The attack follows President Obama’s speech earlier
this month, during which he said that the US was prepared to “conduct a
systematic campaign of airstrikes” against Islamic State terrorists “wherever
they are.”
“That means I will not hesitate to take action
against ISIL (ISIS/IS) in Syria as well as Iraq,” Obama said on September 10.
The US military has already carried out over 200 strikes on Islamic State
targets in Iraq.
Last Tuesday, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
confirmed that the US Central Command has a plan to take “targeted actions
against ISIS safe havens in Syria,” including striking infrastructure.
The US will also train and equip 5,000 members of
the Syrian opposition to fight militants from IS. The so-called ‘moderate’
opposition is seen by the US as a legitimate power in Syria since the Assad
government has long lost all its legitimacy, according to US officials.
More than 40 nations have said they will participate in the anti-Islamic
State crusade, with more than 30 nations offering military support, according
to Hagel.
The Syrian government was willing to cooperate in
coordinating strikes on Islamic jihadists, which the country has been battling
for over three years, but US officials rejected any possibility of such
cooperation. Any strikes on Syrian soil without Damascus’ consent will be
considered an act of aggression, Syria has warned.
Washington should respect the sovereignty of Syria
in its attempts to deal with the Islamic State, Russia has warned repeatedly.
Moscow previously expressed concern that US airstrikes may target not only the
Islamic State, but also government forces loyal to President Assad.
In a telephone conversation with UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that
airstrikes on terrorist targets in Syria should not be carried out without the
consent of the Syrian government.
