I agree with the article .. its pretty obvious here that Iran
will not stand by and do nothing
while is most trusted ally is under attack by the enemy

The big war has started and we dont even realise yet
how do you think this syrian conflict will finish ?? into a official war
to help the syrian people against the tyranical regime

I dont see anyone backing down on this
especially not Assad

We already know that the opposition is paid by the US and some other Nato allies ..
even alCIAda support the opposition and not assad troops ..(recent attack in the capital)
for once they dont kill the US supporters .. how very odd
they magicaly transformed into a US Ally

and this article make us SURE we know who ship weapons to Assad troops

The big war has started 1 yrs ago under the disguise of a revolution

The draft report describes three seizures of Iranian weapons shipments, including two bound for Syria, within the last year, a Western diplomat told CNN on Wednesday on condition of anonymity. The official was not authorized to release details to the media.

The report was drafted by a panel of experts and submitted to the U.N. Security Council's committee that monitors sanctions against Iran, the official said.

The revelations came as al-Assad, in a rare interview, told Russia 24 that weapons in the hands of rebels were flowing into the country from neighboring Lebanon and Turkey.

"You can't simply close the borders and stop the smuggling, but you can reduce the flow," he said.

Ummm... Why guess? Syria and Iran have a very well announced and public Military Alliance and mutual aid treaty between their nations. It isn't that I'm surprised Iran is shipping arms into Assad's Government, it's that the media finds it worth reporting as a story. Do headlines get made when a NATO nation ships arms into another one? Well... Whats the difference from the perspective of Tehran and Damascus?
