The Iranian news agency, PressTv, is reporting that Syrian rebels have admitted to receiving anti-aircraft missiles and small arms from both France and the United States.
It was reported just last week that the Obama administration was considering giving weapons to the rebels in Syria.
Armed groups in Syria have admitted that they have received weapons from French and American sources, reports say.
A defected military officer, who refused to be named, told reporters in the western Syrian city of Al-Qusayr on Tuesday that armed groups receive French and American assistance.
He then clarified that the group had received weapons and anti-aircraft missiles from France and the United States.
We now have weapons and anti-aircraft missiles and
we will defeat Bashar [al-Assad], the general said.
It’s PressTV...sounds like Iranian propaganda
This should turn out well. We haven't done that (at least not much) since we gave stinger missiles to the Afghan Mujahideen to fight Russia, and we all know how that turned out.
