“Iran has been trying to guarantee the survival of Mr Assad, who serves as Tehran’s only reliable ally in the Middle East, by supplying Syria’s regime with funds, weaponry and expert personnel to aid the campaign against rebels. ‘Iran will never allow the resistance axis – of which Syria is an essential pillar – to break,’ said defense secretary Saeed Jalili. The ‘axis of resistance’ refers to the Middle East’s anti-Western powers: Iran, Syria and the armed groups, Hizbollah and Hamas, although in reality the latter has already broken away by ending its presence in Damascus.” [Obvious: A geopolitical proxy war under cover of ‘human rights’.]
