The US State Department has suggested that it may support Britain and France providing arms to the Syrian Opposition.
In response to questions about Britain wanting to lift the EU arms embargo to Syria, spokesperson Victoria Nuland said:
"We certainly want to see as many governments as possible provide appropriate support to the Syrian Opposition Coalition,"
"This is obviously a decision for the EU to make, but we understand that some governments do want to do more, and we encourage them to continue to have that conversation inside the EU so that they can do more,"
"The kinds of support that the U.K. and France have spoken publicly about wanting to provide to the Syrian opposition, we would certainly support."
Meanwhile, Iran has been proving to be Assad's lifeline as weapons reach the regime pouring in through Iraq and even Turkey and Lebanon.
Iraqi and Turkish officials denied the allegations.
