The US has moved long-range rocket launchers from Jordan to its base in At Tanf in Syria, Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed, adding that the hardware could be used against Syrian government forces. 

At Tanf is on the road half way from Damascus to Syria and is a military base in eastern Syria.

The US strategy now seems to be to overthrow the Syrian government (while pretending to fight IS and AQ, both US clients) and/or Balkanize eastern Syria, to limit the influence of Iran and Russia, who really do want to fight terrorism (AQ and IS) - a threat to them, covertly employed by the US for 40 years. 

US duplicity contrasts with Russian candor in this matter.
