A top Iranian general has accused Russia of lying to Tehran by saying its jets were attacking Syrian rebels while they were instead bombing the open desert.

    So either Russia is lying (GASP!) or maybe they just have terrible aim and shit intel.

    Could be both. A little from column A… a little from column B…
