Claims that the US and UK invaded Syria through Jordan are totally unsubstantiated and should not be taken as fact
The expression ‘truth is the first casualty of war’ is an understatement, but the fact is that in the fog of war, well intentioned but misleading information can be equally damaging as a white lie.
Various English language news organisations from the Middle East and beyond have reported that US, UK and unspecified ‘rebel’ troops have illegally entered Syria from Jordan, thus opening up a new front in the war.
It is well known that Jordan is a close ally of both the US and UK and that it regularly hosts military contingents from both states.
