Iran aims to send missiles, drones, military advisers to Syria, senior official says
missiles and drones to Syria and increase the number of its military advisers there to support President Bashar al-Assad in his battle against rebels, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Friday. «It is likely that Tehran will need to send military equipment, missiles and drones to Syria… Tehran has taken all necessary steps to increase number of its military advisers in Syria and deploy forces,» the official said on condition of anonymity.
«Now, Tehran is providing intelligence and satellite support to Syria.»
For Iran, Assad is a crucial ally, part of its «Axis of Resistance» to Israel and U.S. influence in the Middle East.
Over the past week, anti-Assad rebels have made their swiftest battlefield gains since the civil war began 13 years ago, striking a devastating blow to Assad.
Tehran, alongside Moscow, has long provided military and economic support to Assad. But that has taken a blow after Lebanon's Hezbollah group, the most powerful of Iran's allies in the region and a lynchpin of forces aiding Assad, suffered heavy losses over the past two months in war with Israel.
