Israel Rejects Iran Using "Reconstruction" to Cover Up for Entrenchment in Syria
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Discussing the Iranian military position in Syria, a senior Israeli security official said, "If reconstruction is a cover for Iranian military activity, we will treat it as a military action by all standards. We will fight it in every possible way." "Russia is not interested in full Iranian control over Assad, a key Tehran goal. Moscow also is not concerned with war breaking out with Israel over the Iranian ambitions to settle inside Syria - neither is it satisfied with Iranian efforts to expand influence in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. The Iranians know it well," the Israeli official said. The Israeli official also shed light on the potential of a Syrian-Iranian conflict breaking out, especially with many reports of misconduct and aggressive behavior by Iranian forces led by Quds Force Chief Qassem Soleimani against Syrian recruits.
