I've Been Thinking:

The Financial Times ran a piece on Wednesday entitled "Russia's Syria Build -Up Takes Iran By Surprise."

I was very excited to see that the US was not the only nation involved in the conflict to be totally surprised by Russia's return to Syria.

But the article was very disappointing. It was mostly feedback. A catchy title, but nothing new or interesting in the article itself. No quotes and no thoughts from Iranians who were surprised.

I think that Iranian leadership was surprised but not because of the article in FT. They were surprised because Russia does not telegraph their actions - especially their military actions.

Russia is in charge in Syria and they do not need to tell Iran or the United States what they plan on doing.
