Warzone/The Drive: Rumors Fly As Huge Mystery Blasts Rock Syrian Air Base With Iranian Ties
Reports suggest the incident at Hama Military Airport was accidental, but there are already rumors of Israeli involvement.
Details are still emerging, but there are already multiple conflicting reports about the scope and cause of a series of massive explosions of Syrian air base in Hama. Coming relatively soon after a major Israeli aerial operation destroyed dozens of different targets in Syria on May 10, 2018, one report suggests the incident could have been another such strike against an advanced Iranian air defense system, but others sources say it was an accident of varying degrees of severity.
What is known is that on May 18, 2018, a series of explosions ripped through the Syrian Arab Air Force's Hama Military Airport, which is reportedly a major base for Iranian forces and their proxies in the country, destroying fuel and ammunition stockpiles. The detonations were so large that bystanders captured video and pictures of some of them as they occurred, including a towering plume of smoke rising over the base, and posted them on social media. As of yet, there are no official statements from the Syrian regime of Bashar Al Assad about the cause or extent of the damage, including whether or not the blasts destroyed any aircraft.

name a nation that has said Iran would not be allowed to move into
Syria as a military threat:
a. Brazil
b. Iceland
c. Israel
BOOM!!!!
The Israelis are having a better time at finding a weak link than the Americans did at Schweinfurt.
The Iranians will adapt but in the mean time offensives will have to be delayed or scaled down.
