Attack in Syria kills 11 senior Iranian military officers, injures top advisor to Damascus: report

An Israeli airstrike on the Damascus airport has reportedly killed nearly a dozen senior Iranian military officials, which one expert told Fox News Digital would prove Israel’s ability to maintain a multi-faceted defense of the region.

"While there is no independent confirmation of Guard Corps names or ranks, the IRGC has long seen Syria as a critical regional hub to project power into the Eastern Mediterranean and connect its constellation of proxies called the ‘Axis of Resistance,’" Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said.

"It should come as a shock to no one that Guard Corps elite are operating there, especially amid a regional war, which they are directing far away from their own soil," he added.

"Similarly, should the strike be independently verified, it would be more proof of Israel being able to hold back and deter elements of the Axis of Resistance in other geographies while fighting to defeat Hamas in Gaza," Taleblu stressed.

One should not tell someone who is armed that you want to kill and destroy them.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Mullah boy toys.

They’re busy coming up with daily narrative changes for the Mockingbird Media and new ways to attack Trump.

The Obama administration came up with the idea of makeing Iran into the regional superpower.

My assumption is it was done deliberately to reduce US and Western influence and power in the area.

No doubt; Bronco is a Jihadi who wants it to happen way away from his own lame self.

I agree, need more good news. Prayerfully, Israel kills off hamas and any iranian supporting elements (regular or contract).

Given Iran’s proxies’ attacks on Americans, why does the *resident make no similar attacks on Iranian forces?

Because he’s in bed with them, of course.

If the CiA is doing anything, it’s propping up Iran.

Our own government is no less an enemy of the USA as Iran.

Ezekiel 38 is coming.

Iran will make certain of it.

Joe Biden and Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama made sure that Iran was funded.

I remember when Israel and Iran were the best of friends. Then came Jimmy Carter.
