  • The US preparations in the southern of Syria, Astana understandings, and the battle of Raqqa are three topics under the title "Syria is on the agenda of Lavrov’s visit to Washington".
  • Washington wants to pass its military process from the borders of Jordan with Syria to have control on the Syrian-Iraqi borders under the pretext of the concern of the exit of ISIS from Mosul.
  • Washington wants to weaken the position of Iran in the region, it preserves the size of its role in Astana as a legislation of its reference role in the solutions, it wants to show it as a cause of crises.
  • Washington wants to cooperate with Russia in its coming battle in Raqqa where ISIS has no left exit to withdraw, it fears its long-term. The coordination with Russia is needed in order to keep exits for ISIS to the Syrian Badiya and to impose the need for the military cooperation later, if the resolving in Raqqa was impossible in the current preparations.
  • Moscow is ready for the answers, the Syrian-Iraqi borders are under the control of the Syrian army, so there is no justification for escalation there and the risks of getting out of control.
  • Iran is as Turkey a guarantor for a party, the compensation of Turkey of its Kurdish concern in its role in resolving is a US interest and the war on ISIS requires the participation in the war on Al Nusra.
  • Preparations for Putin-Trump Summit.
