NOW Lebanon/Business Insider: Iran's military mastermind promises a 'surprise' in Syria
Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani has vowed that upcoming developments in Syria will soon “surprise” the world, Al-Quds al-Arabi reported.
“The world will be surprised by what we and the Syrian military leadership are preparing for the coming days,” the state Islamic Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) quoted him as saying, according to the London-based daily.
The Quds Force commander’s comment comes after a recent visit to Syria where he toured the Latakia region, which has come under threat from rebels after they seized the nearby Idlib province last week following months of sweeping victories against the regime.
WNU Editor: Oh oh .... this tells me that Iran is about to escalate and expand their involvement in the Syrian conflict. I will not be surprise if in the coming weeks we will be reading reports of Hezbollah moving even more of their forces into Syria followed by thousands of "Iranian volunteers". It looks like the Syrian civil war is about to explode with a major Iranian intervention that will all but guarantee a response from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states.
