In response the US started their own bombing and shelling of the territory of the Syrian authorities and, as a result, one Iranian soldier and officer were killed. Some Russian sources reported that during the artillery duels with the Iranian forces, there was combat between Russian forces and American forces.

===Russian intervention===
On September 30, 2015, [[Russia]] began conducting special missions on the territory of Syria in response to a request from the country's leadership. The reason for the Russian military presence in Syria was the activity of a new type of [[terrorist]] groups, which were in fact acting as armies in their own right, using not only small arms and explosives, but also [[tank]]s, armored vehicles and [[artillery]].
The catalyst for this process was the [[Arab Spring]], which began in [[Tunisia]] in late 2010. The fire of the coups quickly spread to [[North Africa]] and West Asia. Where regimes were supported by the [[United States]] ([[Bahrain]], [[Saudi Arabia]]), protests were brutally suppressed and [[the West]] looked the other way. When forces undesirable to the United States were in power, protests were not only encouraged, but also directly supported, including through arms shipments.
[[Libya]] was virtually destroyed by this violent turbulence. In [[Egypt]], on the other hand, the process was reversed and President [[Morsi]], who took office following a wave of protests, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Unlike some countries where pro-Western politicians took power after [[color revolution]]s, Syria has maintained a continuity of relations with the Russian Federation that dates back to the [[Soviet Union]].
The interest in cooperation with Moscow also arose from the use of different types of [[weapon]]s against terrorists, as Syria became a real testing ground for new systems and the modernization of old ones. [[Kalibr]] missiles were launched from ships and submarines, [[Kh-101]] missiles from [[Tu-160]] strategic missile carriers, fourth-generation [[Su-34]] aircraft, Orlan-10 and Eleron-3SV drones, combat robots, [[Solntsekek]] flamethrower system, and many more were used. Russian specialists gained invaluable experience in demining various objects.
The constant rotation allowed the commanders of the Russian army to gain first-hand combat experience. The command and control system of the troops has been optimized, which is the direct credit of [[General Surovikin]], who commanded the grouping in 2017.
===Syrian [[genocide]]===
The Syrian-Iranian-[[Hezbollah]] Arab Muslim on Arab Muslim genocide resulted as of March 2024 of nearly 618,000,<ref>[https://www.syriahr.com/en/328044/ Syrian Revolution 13 years on | Nearly 618,000 persons killed since the onset of the revolution in March 2011]</ref> or around 700,000.<ref>(15 Jun 2020). [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53020105 Syria war: Assad under pressure as economic crisis spirals]. ''BBC''.
— "The US estimates that something like 700,000 people have been killed and that 90% of the survivors inside Syria live in poverty."</ref>
Yet, the [[Islam]]ic Bloc OIC controlled [[UN]] (and its affiliated ICC) has been busy and obsessed with anti-Israel campaigns. Knowing fully well it has always acted for its defense and survival against genocidal [[Palestinian]] and Iran backed terrorists using non combatants as cannon fodders.
===Assad regime's military up to Dec 2024===

President Bashar Al-Asad commander in chief of the Syrian armed forces, comprised of some 400,000 troops upon [[mobilization]]. The military is a conscripted force; males serve 24 months in the military upon reaching the age of 18. Some 17,000 Syrian soldiers formerly deployed in Lebanon have been withdrawn to Syria in response to UNSCR 1559, which was passed in the fall of 2004. Demands that Syria comply with 1559 intensified after the February 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.
Syria's military remains one of the largest in the region, although the breakup of the Soviet Union—long the principal source of training, material, and credit for the Syrian forces—slowed Syria's ability to acquire modern military equipment. Syria received significant financial aid from Gulf Arab states in the 1990s as a result of its participation in the first [[Gulf War]], with a sizable portion of these funds earmarked for military spending. Besides sustaining its conventional forces, Syria seeks to develop its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capability.
Syria received the long-delayed [[S-300]]s from Russia in fall 2018.
