The  Ministry of Defence said on Monday it had noticed Washington was building up its military forces in the Middle East in preparation for what Moscow feared was a possible strike on Syrian government forces, Russian news agencies reported.

Major-General Igor Konashenkov was quoted by agencies as saying that the USS Ross, a guided-missile destroyer, had entered the Mediterranean on Aug. 25 armed with 28 Tomahawk cruise missiles capable of hitting any target in Syria.

The deployment of the Russian fleet comes as the U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to strike the Army ahead of the long-awaited battle of Idlib. Syria, Turkey, Russia, and U.S. are about to square off in the northern Syria city with millions of civilians in the crosshairs.

Turkey’s foreign minister said last Friday it would be disastrous to seek a military solution in the Idlib region, .

Idlib is a refuge for civilians and rebels displaced from other areas of Syria as well as for powerful jihadist forces. It has been hit by a wave of airstrikes and shelling this month in a possible prelude to a full-scale government offensive.

Turkey has backed some rebel groups in the region and set up a dozen military observation posts. It is trying to avert an attack by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Moscow.
