Cutting off Iran’s 'road to the sea' in Syria
2018-06-19
[Jpost] A US official claims Israel struck Iranian-backed Iraqi militia in Syria, and now Tehran must think twice about moving fighters across the mostly non-existent border.

Tehran must re-adjust its policy in Syria a day after an Arclight airstrike killed and maimed dozens of Iranian-backed Shi’ite Kata’ib Hezbollah members in Syria near the Iraqi border.

The first of its kind strike, targeting Iraqi militias who have been crossing into Syria to aid the Assad regime since last year, sought to cut off Iran’s "road to the sea" by striking at a strategic area near the border town of Albu Kamal.
