Commander: Iranian Forces To Stay In Syria Indefinitely


Washington Times: Iran’s plans in Syria hint at goal of establishing powerful Shiite ‘Red Crescent’

Iran’s top military officer signed agreements in Syria last month that will keep Iranian forces there indefinitely with a pledge to help the Bashar Assad regime rebuild damaged military bases, according to the main opposition group to Tehran’s Islamic rulers.

Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, who became the armed forces chief of staff last year, was photographed in Aleppo visiting Iranian forces and viewing other conflict areas, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Iran, and intense Russian aerial assaults, played a big role in what critics say was a brutal siege of the city that broke the back of anti-Assad rebel forces in the west.

Behind the scenes, Gen. Bagheri and his staff met three times with Mr. Assad and his high command, the National Council says in an intelligence report.

"The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI; Persian: شورای ملی مقاومت ایران‎, translit. Šurā-ye melli-e moqāwemat-e Īrān‎) is an Iranian political organization based in France. The organization has appearance of a broad-based coalition, however many analysts consider NCRI and People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) to be synonymous[3] and recognize NCRI as only "nominally independent" political wing or front for MEK.[5][6][7]

Jay,

I thought you would like MEK. They are Left Wing.

I liked your link on Klavan yesterday. It was very funny. You try to refute the work of Victor Davis Hanson a humanities PhD with the work of another humanities PhD in the same field. both who talk about things outside their original field of study. That was funny. Especially since the guy you linked had a much, much smaller ... body of work.

Oh and the newspaper you linked is defunct for 2 years or more due to it being kookier than The 'Gurdian' if that is possible.

1) So I point out that MEK is left wing and join resorts to insults.


2) I also pointed out that Jay criticized Victor Davis Hanson using the essays of John Dolan. A person who loves The 'Gurdian' would love John Dolan and the extinct newspaper The ExileD (xd). That dinosaur newspaper 'The Exiled'had Jay at XD an emoji. So one literary guys criticises another literary guy. Oh Noooooeeeeeeessss! Next time Jay stick to the essay and criticize it.


John Dolan: PhD thesis on the literary works of the Marquis de Sade

Victor Davis Hanson: PhD in classics from Stanford University
