Russia & Iran Helping Assad
By Micah Halpern

Sunday June 2, 2013

I've Been Thinking:

It should come as no surprise that the Russia and Iran are helping Syrian President Bashar Assad stay in power.

Yesterday the Washington Post reported that the Russians and the Iranians are providing advanced, sophisticated weapons to Assad which causing the pendulum to shift in his direction.
The specific weapons the piece referred to are drones.

The piece quotes rebel force leaders saying that they have seen many more drones in the sky recently and that they successfully shot down several of them. After downing the drones the rebels saw that the drones were made in Iran and Russia.

There is no doubt that Russia and Iran are helping Assad and that they are providing important military assistance that includes weapons and technology. They are also providing tactics and intelligence.

In some cases the gift of drones may have included more than just the weaponry. Some of those drones actually may have been operated by Russia and Iran, not Syria.
