Iran on Israel's Borders
(Rai al-Youm-Mideast Mirror, 13Feb2015) Kamal Khalaf - According to a source on the ground, Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) al-Qods Brigade Commander Qassem Sulaimani has arrived in the western countryside of Daraa Province in southern Syria. The Syrian army and its allies have just launched a large-scale offensive in an attempt to regain that area. This is the first time we have a public operational intervention by IRGC forces and the Qods Brigade in the conflict. Another notable aspect of this Iranian intervention is that it is occurring near the Syrian border with Israel. In other words, the IRGC is now confronting Israel face-to-face. This public presence is a major Iranian message of defiance to the U.S. and Israel.
