franco + 96 FM February 20, 2018 Iran agitating for some compensation for its Syria war investments. IRGC Maj Gen Yahya Rahim Safavi says Iran is already exporting Syrian phosphate in return for Tehran’s help in war! Iranian influence in Syria is strong enough that they can do this.

Pavel + 384 PP February 20, 2018 Some report from Syria.... Iran continues to back powerful militias with thousands of fighters it has trained in Syria. Its goal, analysts say, is a united front in any war with Israel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 20, 2018 Iran wants a new policy in Syria. It seems they want to take minerals from them and , just like in Iraq, to establish military and political control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shows a rift between Turkey, Russia and Iran. I wonder what Iran has in mind? They have power in Syria without any doubt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP February 20, 2018 Iran and Turkey are historical rival. Don't forget, that they are syiah (Iran) and Turkey are sunni. It is more then enough reason for any decision against the other side, or total war... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP February 21, 2018 Iran and Russia will sign a long-term political and economic agreements with Syria in return for their military support. It's a trap for the West and U.S. Of course if dictator Asad remains in his position. And, don't forget the aspiration of another dictator, RT Erdogan.

damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 21, 2018 As I know, at May last year Al-Assad and his allied militias started signing contracts with Tehran for the acquisition of mines (phosphate) in Syrian city Homs! "Officially and transparently". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP February 21, 2018 It's true! The Syrian regime has already signed a contract with Iran earlier that year, during a visit of Prime Minister Imad Khamis to Tehran. The contract included the exploration, extraction and investment of phosphate for 50 years..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petar + 76 PP February 21, 2018 For me, this is the expected confrontation between the regime of Erdogan and the mullahs of Iran. Erdogan's greed could will fuel this conflict for influence in West Asia. Afrin is break point in this case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
