TEHRAN (FNA) - Informed sources revealed that Riyadh is holding training courses for 150,000 Saudi, Sudanese, Egyptian and Jordanian forces to prepare them for war in Syria.
The Saudi sources told the CNN channel that the 150,000-strong army is now stationed in Saudi Arabia and will soon be dispatched to Syria.
They also said that Morocco, Turkey, Bahrain, the UAE and Qatar will also deploy their forces to Syria through the Turkish borders, and Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei will dispatch mercenaries to Saudi Arabia too.
On Thursday, the Saudi Defense Ministry said it stood ready to deploy ground troops to Syria to allegedly aid the US-led anti-ISIL, also known as Daesh coalition.

Iranian propaganda site.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t true, but consider the source.
Doesn’t it violate a whole lot of things if Saudi Arabia invades a foreign country that didn’t attack them with an army of paid mercenaries?
Headline says “Saudi,” but the first sentence lists several other nationalities.
P.J. O’Rourke, when covering the Gulf War, remarked, “There’s a reward for anyone who spots a Saudi lifting anything heavier than money.”
Perhaps. But murder and plunder are not un-Islamic.
An Iranian propaganda site is no less believable than ABCCBSNBCCNNFOXBBC
WW 2.50
The problem is that out of the 150,000 there will eventually be 140,000 on the side of ISIS.
I wish both sides good luck.
‘Let’s you and them fight.’
Very good point.
Saudi Arabia is lined up against Assad and Iran, who due to Russia’s intervention, are slowly crushing ISIS and the er...”moderate Islamist rebels”. If the story isn’t complete balderdash, I assume these mercs are meant to reinforce ISIS. This would further complicate US airstrikes.
I posted yesterday that Saudi Arabia (and Kuwait) are reliant on foreign labor for everything; most of their (small) native populations are very wealthy, and don’t work. Years ago a program of “Saudization” was instituted to involve Saudis in administering their own country; I guess it didn’t work.
The fun never ends in the middle east.
lol
Do the math. If 500 beheaders(branding no longer applies) die per day in Syria, then the entirety of the new arrivals will have been consumed within a year. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The tide is turning sharply against the beheaders with the entry of Russia. Although with Russia and Iran standing as the ground rulers in Syria, the short reign of the ISIS beheaders may one day be looked upon as the good old days.
The Gulf States really want Assad gone so they can build that pipeline.
Putin will not let Assad be toppled.
But, it’s muslims dying, so we should just butt out.
Somebody is chewing too much qat and hitting the kif pipe too hard.
I understand the oil price collapse is not working out well for them.
LOL, what would Israel do? If they were faced with 150K Saudi’s, they’d have to deploy a whole battalion to fight them. The same goes for the Russians if they are faced with 150K Saudi’s (with volunteers or not). The Saudi’s to me are like the Italians were to the Germans in WW II.
The Gog Coalition is Forming Now…Ezekiel 34-39 pt 8

There is admittedly much controversy over where Magog is, but the table of nations in Genesis 10 is invaluable.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.(Gen 10:2-3)
Magog was the second son of Japheth, and the agreed upon land of Magog, is the central Asian,Turkic speaking area .Josephus said, “Magog founded the Magogians, called Scythians by the Greeks. Scythians were a nomadic tribe who inhabited the ancient territory from Central Asia across the southern part of ancient Russia.â€
Today these which were former Soviet republics south of the black Sea, in the Caucusus range. These are the so-called “Stansâ€, all of which are Muslim, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan.
Gog, the individual who is the “chief Prince†of the Coalition, hails from the “Uttermost Parts of the Northâ€, (see Ezekiel 39:2). Due North of Israel, at the uttermost parts, is Russia.
Meshek and Tubal are in Turkey, as is Gomer, and the house of Togarmah. All of these are sons of Japheth, and are currently overwhelmingly Muslim. Turkey had suppressed Islamism for decades under the post World War 1 Attaturk model of separation of Mosque from State, but has been increasingly revealed as being severely Islamized, since the election pot Rycep Erdogan.
The other members of the coalition are Persia, ( Iran), Ethiopia, (Cush)(not the same as modern Ethiopia) , South of Egypt, (Sudan), (parts of Somalia).and Put, ( Libya and parts of North Africa),and “Many others who will be with youâ€.
It is fascinating to see this coalition beginning to form in our day. Russia is currently fighting in Syria alongside of Iran, and Hezbullah, the Shiite militia. The Russians have sought to shore up a Shiite crescent, from Syria, through Iran, arming both nations with advanced anti-aircraft batteries, and the latest in tank, aircraft and missile technology.
