Russia sends warships to Syria – Telegraph.

Russia has sent a flotilla of warships to the Syrian port of Tartus. The West are viewing Russia’s move as further support for the Syrian leader Assad.

In recent weeks it was thought that Russia were trying to distance themselves from the Assad regime, despite in the past supplying Syria with weapons.

It is uncertain if the flotilla was carry weapons for Syria, or how many marines were on board.

America has also accused Iran of supporting Assad, by supplying weapons and logistical support.
