Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Head of Iran’s Quds Force visits Syria to oversee joint military drill

2023-09-23

[IsraelTimes] Iranian media says Esmail Ghaani, in charge of the Revolutionary Guards’ foreign operations, held talks on how ’to confront the military and security challenges facing Syria’

The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, Esmail Ghaani, has visited Syria to oversee a joint military drill, media outlets in the Islamic Theocratic Republic said.

Ghaani, appointed Quds Force commander after a US dronezap on Baghdad killed its revered leader Qassem Soleimani

in 2020, met senior Syrian officials in Damascus, Tasnim news agency reported late Thursday.

They held discussions on ways to "confront the military and security challenges facing Syria" and supervised a joint Iran-Syria military exercise, Tasnim said.

Ghaani also praised Syria and Iran’s "brotherly relations" and said Iran
Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
"will stand by the Syrian people and leadership in facing its challenges," the news agency added.

The Quds Force is the foreign operations arm of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The United States placed it on its list of foreign terrorist organization in 2019, but Iran insists its activities abroad are an example of regional cooperation aimed at shoring up stability and blocking Western interference.

Iran has been a major ally of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
, providing him economic, political, and military support during Syria’s more than 12-year civil war.

Tehran’s support helped Damascus claw back most of the territory it lost at the start of the conflict and positioned Iran in a leading role as Assad seeks to focus on reconstruction.

Militias affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards have a heavy presence across Syria but Tehran denies sending forces to fight in Syria, saying it only has military advisers in the war-ravaged country.

The Syrian conflict has claimed more than 500,000 lives, displaced millions and ravaged the country’s infrastructure and industry.
