Iran Setting Up Air Base outside Syrian City of Palmyra
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - "Iran and the [Iranian Revolutionary Guards] Quds Force for some time have been operating the T-4 [Tiyas] air base in Syria next to Palmyra, with support from the Syrian military and with permission from the Syrian regime," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Saturday night. An Israeli military official said the T-4 base is being used by Iran to transport advanced weaponry to Syria, Hizbullah, and Shiite militias in the region. "It is part of a process of a force build-up against Israel," he said.
