Iran is beginning to withdraw its elite fighters from the Russian-led military campaign in Syria, according to U.S. and other Western military officials, suggesting a fissure in what President Barack Obama derided last month as a "coalition of two."
U.S. officials tell me they are seeing significant numbers of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps troops retreat from the Syrian combat zone in recent weeks, following the deaths and wounding of some of top officers in a campaign to retake Idlib Province and other areas lost this year to opposition forces supported by the West and Gulf Arab States. As a result, the Russian-initiated offensive that was launched in September seems to be losing an important ally.

Very dubious piece.
WNU Editor,
It's month 2, R+6 has retaken hundreds of villages, several strategic bases, lifted half a dozen seiges, has surrounded Aleppo, is pushing into Ildib and towards Palmirya,
So it's time for an "anonymous officials say" article about how the R+6 is losing.
Preparing to confront Turkey. Highly unlikely these military dudes would just up and go back to normal life back in Iran. Not buying it!!!!
The Obama administration was caught shading the truth a few weeks ago. They acted all upset like it was the Pentagon's doing and that the hacks at the Pentagon were not just doing what they were told.
Maybe this is a disinformation campaign to make Obama not look like the loser he is and boost his number for a few weeks until they can come up with a new lie.
agree its all bull from them cause there losing
