EXCLUSIVE: Iran has established a new military base in Syria and has plans to house thousands of troops at the location, according to multiple Western intelligence sources.

The classified Iranian project, called the Imam Ali compound, was approved by top leadership in Tehran and is being completed by the Iranian al-Quds Forces.

Using a civilian satellite company, Fox News verified the information and obtained images that show a base being constructed on the Syria-Iraq border.

What makes Iran think that it won’t be bombed before it becomes active? What type of missile defense defense does it have?

Indeed. THis could turn out to be IRan’s Vietnam. IT is proof that Iran wants to use Syrians and LEbanese as its cannon fodder for its tiff with Israel.

THat is a win win politically and militarily for ISrael to strike deep into Iran with eventual local and even international support.

I don’t get it!

About 2 B 52’s on one pass from about 50 miles up (s/c) could obliterate this little cluster of buildings and everything and everyone in or near them.

I predict Trump will do exactly that about 30 minutes before their grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony.

The reason the President will agree to talks with the Iranian boss is so he can look the man in the eye and tell him.

Get out of Yemen, Syria, lebanon and Gaza. Discontinue your manufacture of a nuclear bomb. If you don’t, I’ll kill you.

Exactly. I’ll bet the base is named Shatt al Obama or some such. Seems only fair, since he provided all the funding to make it happen.

A new war in the middle-east a year ago would have de-railed our economy & kill Americans.

A new war in the middle-east THIS year would de-rail our economy & kill Americans.

SAY NO TO **EIGHT** SIMULTANEOUS AMERICAN WARS.
