UNSC Must Address US Missile Defense Plans in Syria, If Confirmed – Lawmaker
10:11 GMT 29.08.2018 (Updated: 20:06 GMT 19.10.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) – If the United States tries to deploy missile defense systems in Syria, Damascus should immediately raise this issue in the UN Security Council, Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the Russian upper house's International Committee, told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"[In case this information is confirmed,] the Syrians should raise the issue in the UN Security Council… It is absolutely illegal. The United States has no UN mandate, it has no right to be in Syria, let alone to create any military facilities there," Dzhabarov said.

The US-led coalition of more than 70 countries is conducting military operations against the Daesh* in Syria and Iraq. The coalition's operations in Iraq are conducted in cooperation with the Iraqi government, but those in Syria are not authorized by the government of President Bashar Assad or the UN Security Council.
