(Reuters) Jonathan Saul and Parisa Hafezi - Iran has stepped up support on the ground for Syrian President Assad, providing hundreds more military specialists to gather intelligence and train troops.

A Syrian opposition source said in recent months Iranian-led forces had begun operating in coastal areas including Tartous and Latakia. They wear Syrian military fatigues and work with Syrian air force intelligence.2014-02-21 00:00:00Full Article
