白宮稱“將保留自衛的權利”

The White House told Russia on Monday that it reserves 'the right to self defense' after the Kremlin warned it would track US-led coalition aircraft in Syria as potential 'targets' and halted an incident-prevention hotline with Washington after US forces downed a Syrian jet.

克里姆林宮警告說，它將追蹤美國領導的在敘利亞的作戰飛機 並將其作爲潛在的“目標”（標靶），並在美國軍隊擊落一架敘利亞政府軍飛機後，停止與華盛頓的緊急事件預防熱線。之後，白宮在週一告訴俄羅斯，美方將保留“自衛權”。

'I think that the escalation of hostilities among the many factions that are operating in this region doesn't help anybody' White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said 'and the Syrian regime and the others in the regime need to understand that we will retain the right to self defense of coalition forces aligned against ISIS.'

“我認爲，在這個地區的許多派別之間的敵對行動升級，並沒有幫助到任何人。”白宮新聞祕書肖恩·斯派塞說：“敘利亞當局和其他政權中的人需要明白，我們將保護與ISIS對抗的團體的自衛權。”

Spicer told a reporter later that he was not saying the US is on the brink of war with Russia amid an escalation in tensions that came after the Syrian government attacked a US-backed group that is fighting ISIS.

斯派塞後來告訴記者，他並沒有表示美國正處於與俄羅斯的戰爭邊緣。儘管俄羅斯支持的敘利亞政府襲擊了美國支持的與ISIS戰鬥的團體，導致緊張局勢進一步升級。

The US says an SU-22 operated by the Syrian regime was dropping bombs on the Syrian Democratic Forces when it was shot out of the sky by a U.S. F/A-18E Super Hornet.

美方稱，由敘利亞政府軍操作的蘇22在被美國F / A-18E超級大黃蜂擊落時，正在向敘利亞民主力量部隊投擲炸彈。
