1) West #Idlib (Jisr al-Shughour)
2) N. #Hama/#SE #Idlib (Latamineh, Khan Sheikhoun, Kafrazita)

You know the situation has become extremely intense when #Iran's #IRGC are calling on @HassanRouhani to take action about the currency plunge.
The IRGC controls much of the economy, answering only to Iranian Supreme Leader @khamenei.

Question for @wendyrsherman:
How much has #Iran's regime paid you to resort to such low measures & parrot their demands?
Here's a thought.
Stop doing the ruthless mullahs' bidding & stand alongside the people of Iran who are seeking #IranRegimeChange.
Shame on you if you don't.

One comes to this firm conclusion that @wendyrsherman is a die-hard #Iran apologist when the regime's state media cites her tweet in slander against US President @realDonaldTrump that has adopted a firm policy against Tehran's mullahs.

Yet nowhere in his piece does he mention how @SecPompeo specifically said to the Iranian people that the Trump administration hears you and stands with you.
