Iran will deploy 4,000 Revolutionary
Guards to Syria to bolster Damascus
against a mostly Sunni-led insurgency,
media reported. Meanwhile, US F-16s and
Patriots will stay in Jordan speculatively,
to help establish a no-fly zone to aid
Syrian rebels.
The deployment of the first several-thousand strong military
contingent was reported by The Independent on Sunday who quoted
Iranian sources tied to the states security apparatus. The sources said
the move signals Irans intention to drastically step up its efforts to

Sf dpn n f oef epreserve the government of President Bashar Assad.
The Islamic Republics heightened military commitment could
reportedly extend to the opening up of a new Syrian front on the
Golan Heights against Israel.
Golan Heights have recently become a source of new instability withincreasing cross-border fire and Austria withdrawing its
peacekeepers from the buffer area after a checking point became
the spot of mil itary dispute between and Assad's and opposition's
forces.
This stirred concern in the UN with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
warning the fragile state of no-war between Tel-Aviv and Damascus
is at risk.
The ongoing military activities in the [Golan] area ofseparation
continue to have the potential to escalate tensions between Israel and
the Syrian Arab Republic and to jeopardize the cease-fire between the
two countries, Ban Ki-moon said in a June 13 statement.
Journalists have frequently asked Assad whether he plans to open a
resistance front at Golans. The option discussion was brought back to
the table after every air strike on the Syrian territory pinned on Israel.
Tel-Aviv always stopped short of confirming the strikes but hintedthat it would do whatever it takes to stop arms supplies to
Lebanons Hezbollah even if convoys are found going through Syria.
The strikes resonated across the world and back in February Saeed
Jalili, head of Irans National Security Council, warned Israel would
regret them.

Reports of Irans decision to get directly involved in the Syrian conflict
come just days after Israels ally, the US, chose to reverse its policy of
not providing lethal aid to rebel fighters. The argument the Obama
Administration used was that Damascus had crossed a red line by
deploying chemical weapons against opposition forces on four
separate occasions.
Washingtons policy shift has quickly materialized on multiple fronts,
some of them also in the press.
On Saturday, the Pentagon announced a detachment of F-16s and US
Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems dispatched to Jordan for the
ongoing joint Eager Lion military exercise will remain in the country
once the training drills conclude.
The same day, The Washington Post reported that clandestine bases
in Jordan and Turkey would serve as conduits for arms beingdelivered to the rebel fighters.
US military support will thus far be limited to light arms and other
munitions, although Washingtons shifting calculus has potentially
given a green light to regional Sunni allies to provide anti-tank and
anti-aircraft weapons to the Assad opposition.
Just one day before the Pentagon announced its intention to leave
Patriot missiles and F-16s in Jordan, senior Western diplomats inTurkey announced Washington was mulling the establishment of a
no-fly zone, possibly near the Jordanian border."

impose such a zone would be in clear violation of international law.

The US, Israel and Iran are not the only actors to have activated
recently.
On Sunday, the German daily Der Spiegel, citing the German foreign
intelligence service, said Saudi Arabia is looking to provide
European-made Mistral-class MANPADS man-portable air-defense
systems to the Syrian opposition.
Notably, on Tuesday, Saudi Arabia condemned the role of another
party to the conflict Hezbollah announcing that measures would
be taken against those loyal to the group who lived in Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
Hezbollah, the Shia Islamist militant group based out of Lebanon,
played an integral part in the recapture of the strategic city of Qusayr
last week. Damascus announced its intentions to use the Qusayr
victory as a stepping stone to retaking large swaths of the northern
city of Aleppo and surrounding provinces.
Some 2,000 of Hezbollahs 65,000 strong force has reportedly been
operating in the city since early June. Shortly after these reports
emerged, the New York Times rolled out an article saying Israel
accelerated planning for a shock and awe campaign to wipe out
Hezbollah forces out of Syria.

Despite Saudi Arabias condemnation of Hezbollahs blatant
interference in the Syrian conflict, a report issued by Intelligence
Online in January said that Saudi Arabia was directly responsible for
the radical al-Nusra Fronts very existence and operational superiority
within the country.
"The Saudi General Intelligence, controlled by Prince Bandar bin Sultanbin Abdulaziz, exploited its broad calls with Takfiri [atoning]
movements in Iraq to help establish al-Nusra Front, a low-profile Takfiri
movement," the report stated.
"Thanks to funding from the General Intelligence Department and
support from the Saudi Intelligence in Lebanon, al-Nusra was able to
swiftly arm its forces, and make the Syrian regime suffer painful blows
through its expertise in Iraqi bombings," it continued.
The Al-Nusra Front, with its alleged Saudi connections, is incidentally
the Syrian branch of the Islamic State of Iraq, which aims to establish
a caliphate in the Sunni dominated regions of Iraq. This brings a
strong sectarian smell to the two-year conflict and lifts far above
local anti-government sentiments.
The increased effectiveness of pro-Assad forces has been met with
frustration by prominent Sunni clerics. Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, a
prominent Egyptian theologian, called on Sunnis in the region to jointhe battle against Damascus, asking: How could 100m Shia
[worldwide] defeat 1.7bn [Sunni]?
With the United States, its Sunni allies in the region and Israel all
preparing to step up involvement in the Syrian conflict, Irans
commitment to defend the Assad government is likely just as
motivated by self-preservation as Shiite solidarity.
