Iran has begun supplying Syria with an elite force trained in obliterating military uprisings, force members said after Iran promised to help Syria if it asked.

The quiet shipment of hundreds of members of Iran's 125,000-man Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, or the Revolutionary Guards, to Syria is in addition to Tehran's stepped-up efforts to aid Syrian President Bashar Assad's military with cash and arms, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

It is also part of an initiative in which Iran replaces low-ranking Syrian soldiers who defected with Iranian troops, furnishes Syria with a paramilitary volunteer militia that could support Syria's Alawite paramilitary semi-criminal militia gangs known as shabiha, and provides an unconventional-warfare special-operations Quds Force to spearhead military cooperation with Assad forces, the Journal said.

The Quds Force, which reports directly to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is generally tasked with training proxy militants and exporting Iran's Islamic ideology.

Thanks for the ping. Full agreement with you and yours. Am not wanting to open another front but the time to go maybe is fleeting to keep iran from obtaining a means to create more havoc. No desire to go but a go maybe is necessary to keep the lid on.

But who the heck is game?!

That answer maybe will be a surprise to the entire world. The fingers of the world will point at we know who, if it all goes down only on the leadership of iran. Who may not be who is thought and would be reported as who and am not certain (btw) yet something could be in the wind of which none of us are aware (imho). The unmentioned who (Israel) will be the one reported in the media though, me thinks, even if the media is wrong. Looking at probable moment depending on the next sixty days. Have been wrong before though.
