Speaking at the U.S. Congress Wednesday, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon urged the US to stay wary of Iranian actions in Syria and across the region. “We are very worried about Iran’s presence in Syria,” Ya’alon said. “Iran’s Quds Force is

Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force squad, was reportedly injured while fighting in Syria last month. According to an Iranian opposition group, he was far more severely injured than Tehran wants to admit.

While the government of Iran is officially denying it has deployed ground troops in Syria, Iranian media is reporting that more than one dozen Islamic Revolution Guard Corps officers have died there in the past three years.

General Qasem Soleimani, who heads Iran’s Quds Force—the Iranian special forces unit designated with spreading the Tehran regime’s caliphatist revolution worldwide—has now arrived in Syria along with thousands of Iranian troops, according to reports.

A report from Reuters says a top Iranian general met with Russian officials in Moscow in July to plan their joint intervention in Syria.

Israeli forces have responded to a series of rockets launched by the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist group into its sovereign territory Thursday morning, striking several locations in Syria held by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.

In blatant violation of the United Nations Security Council restrictions concerning his overseas travel, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani traveled to Russia to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin last month, multiple reports have confirmed.

American troops are being told to share quarters with extremist Iran-backed Shiite militias in Iraq, the people who were murdering them with roadside bombs just a few years ago. Given the insane disaster Obama has made of Iraq, Syria, and Libya, there might not be any other way to check ISIS.

A well-heard narrative appeared Monday that high-ranking Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani took shots at President Obama and U.S. foreign policy, with outlets such as Reuters and the Associated Press (AP) featuring his comments as a blistering rebuke of the United States’s presence in the Middle East. Unlike the selective comments indicated, Soleimani was not condemning a lack of effort against ISIS on America’s part, but implying that President Obama was intentionally aiding the terrorist group.

Two weeks ago, the seemingly effective Iraqi operation to retake the city of Tikrit from ISIS ground to an abrupt halt, the “final push” delayed for an indefinite period out of concerns over collateral damage, according to Iraqi officials. It was widely speculated the more pertinent problem was that Islamic State forces proved to be much harder to dislodge than anyone wanted to admit, so time was needed to bring up reinforcements and prepare the battlespace.

In a youth conference in Tehran, Iran’s top military commanders assured the crowd that Jordan would soon be controlled by the mullahs, as they have already spread their malevolent influence into Iraq and Lebanon with terrorist forces, Haaretz reports.

A new report details the horrific exploits of “Unit 190,” an even more shadowy unit of the already-shady Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Unit 190, according to Western intelligence sources quoted by Fox News, has for many years been smuggling arms to terrorist groups in conflict zones across the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and the new masters of Yemen, the Houthis.
