There’s still no evidence to back it up, but Israeli Major General Aviv Kochavi has echoed a February US allegation of a secret but enormous Iranian army operating in Syria, saying they have created a fighting force of 50,000 aimed at propping up Assad and keeping the war going after his fall.
Kochavi claimed that the unnamed force is fully funded by Iran and trained by Hezbollah, and also claimed that Iran is looking to double the size of this already gargantuan force in the near future.
People some comfortable to accept this claim without any evidence, but it is unimaginable that, in a nation approximately two years into a very ugly civil war, Iran could find 50,000 fighters not already affiliated and transform them into an organized fighting force, created out of wholecloth and unquestioningly loyal.
Keep in mind how huge that is. Syria is roughly the population of Afghanistan, and the Taliban has never been believed to have more than 25,000 fighters. That means Iran, with only about 10% of the nation to be recruited from (the Shi’ite minority), would have to be able to create a force double this size, and then figure they could double that yet again without any serious problems.
Western officials are also accusing Iran of “significantly” increasing the number of weapons they are sending to Syria, though as with the claim of this invisible army, there is no evidence being presented to back this.
More Israeli propaganda to bring in more weapons and initiate a preemptive strike. Too bad, however, that it is not true. Neither Syria nor its government ever deserved this type of criminal devastation and plunder. This reader hopes Syria will somehow survive and that over time the region can heal. As for Israel, unless the U.S. reigns it in, it will consume what is left of our country.
Is a pre talk.., or if you will preparation for eventual invasion.., but wait until Obama comes back from his visit to Israel…., then you can write more about it Jason.
If the western fascist regimes and their child molesting toads in the gulf monarchies can send merc´s & arms to kill Syrians, so can Iran and the rest of the free world to defend them. The figure seem indeed inflated but since Iran is next on the Zionist hit list it would be stupid NOT to offer assistance since they rightly consider the NATO aggression a war on Iran as well.
The Russians knows where these drug addicted apes will be sent after Iran (if the world still exist by then) hence their red line. There is no way the zionist infested western fascist regimes are gonna win this one, but they are going to kill hundreds of thousands trying to.
Where did the US get its 'intel' back in February? The same source as all things Iranian –
Shin Bet HQ in Tel Aviv.
So when we hear of truckloads of Al Quds being rocketed through Iraq and Turkey, or 'teleported' from Teheran on flying carpets and tonnes of weapons and ammo, you know its Little Shecky hallucinating, again.
No wonder nobody's 'up' for attacking the mullahs. Anybody who could fight Saddam for 7 years and beat him and then run the largest terror supply operation on earth is more than a little scary.
That Americans quickly regurgitate the crap is only a function of the 'scare factor' so vital to freedumb.
Nutcases – the inmates have well and truly taken over the asylum in Israel, the US, the UK and France. Never can so many ridiculous statements have been treated with such seriousness by the western governments. The gods must be laughing at such insanity.
if America catches a cold just blame Iran.
since when is sending troops to support allies a crime?
Iran has never wrecked a moment of my lifetime.
Another fable form the Israel phantasy outlet.
If it were true the war would be already over with all terrorist vermin ground to pieces.
