"Syrian forces are preparing to attack Kurdish-controlled cities in the north and east to force the Kurdish-represented Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF/YPG) to compromise in stalled talks with the government".
Modern.az reports, citing Reuters, that 5 divisions of the Syrian Arab Army could participate in the attack on Kurdish-controlled cities.
If this pressure fails to bring the parties back to the negotiating table, the Syrian Arab Army is considering launching a full-scale operation, which could lead to the Kurds losing their semi-autonomous regions.
According to two commanders of the Syrian army, Syrian forces have been deployed along the front line in Deir ez-Zor province.
Washington has not openly opposed a limited Syrian military operation, but a spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF/YPG) stated that the US has not done enough to prevent the conflict.
