Syria: Is Iran preparing for war with Israel?

(Damascus) Due to the help afforded to him by the likes of Iran and Russia, President Assad of Syria has afforded them the rights to build bases inside Syria. Iran did just that and started building its new home from home around 30 miles from Mt Hermon which is situated just inside the Golan on the border with Syria and Lebanon. The Israelis have a listening post there and the Syrians would love to capture it. (They did try in 1971 but the IDF took it back). Now, the Syrians know that any future attempt to capture the Mount Hermon will come back to bite them big style. But Iran is a different kettle of fish, which is why Israel had no problem targeting anything Iranian they find on the border. Be it General Mohammed Allahdadi or that new Iranian camp, Israel has sent the message that it will not allow Iran to gain a foothold in the region.


With the news that Iraq has declared the war against ISIS is over, that leaves the Iranian backed militia with noting to do other than beat up Sunni Muslims. Which kind of explains why Qais al-Khazali, the commander of the Iranian-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq, or League of the Righteous, has appeared in military uniform in a video while touring the border with Israel, along with members of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group.

"We declare our full readiness to stand with the Lebanese people and the Palestinian cause against the unjust Israeli occupation that is hostile to Islam, Arabs and humanity."
It appears that the Iranians may be looking to start a war with Israel (along with its Hezbollah and Iraqi militia) in which to present itself as the champions of the Islamic faith in which to continue to discredit the Sunni Muslims who have done nothing (according to the Islamic world) regarding their view that Israel is illegal.

Now, whilst they haven't a hope in hell of defeating the IDF, they can give them a bloody nose. But in reality, the real aim is to get Israel to respond and then parade to the world the many victims of the IDF who just happened to be attending a wedding, school or even the local mosque. I mean let's be honest, when has anybody from the Islamic world really bothered about the hundreds of thousands killed by their own? But if a non-Muslim looks funny at a terrorist, there's hell to pay.
