As the U.S. was supplying Israel with military aid, so is Iran delivering weapons to its regional allies, in transports through the Damascus airport mostly, while other weapons transports arrive through other locations.

The frequent strikes on Syria in recent days, attributed to Israel, were for the most part intended to thwart such transfers from Iran, that were meant to increase the number of precise missiles, anti-tank missiles and air defenses including the Iranian made surface to air 358 missiles also called SA-67) that can intercept drones, planes low flying aircraft and missiles, available to Hezbollah.

Iran had already supplied its Lebanese proxy with a substantial stock of missiles which have been used by Hezbollah against Israeli drones recently but have thus far failed to shoot any down. Israel has been able to intercept the 358 missiles using its air defenses.

    Seems like the root many of the problems in the middle east pretty much all lie with Iran, especially its murderous elders who donate weapons and train various paramilitary and terrorist organizations. Seems like a huge thorn in the side for that entire region.

      Surely America didn’t overthrow their previous moderate democratic government in favor of a religious group because the previous government didn’t want to let them control all the oil supplies.

      Operation Ajax

      The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, was the U.S.- and British-instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the shah,

      Mosaddegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP), to verify that AIOC was paying the contracted royalties to Iran, and to limit the company’s control over Iranian oil reserves.

      Upon the AIOC’s refusal to cooperate with the Iranian government, the parliament (Majlis) voted to nationalize Iran’s oil industry

      The real root problem is Israel. During the Iran-Iraq war, they helped out Iran while the US helped out Iraq so that they could maximize the number of deaths. The US then fought Iraq for the sake of Israel, twice. The US also destroyed Libya, Syria, Somalia, etc for the sake of Israel. Countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia think they’re clever in that they could curry favor with Israel, but after the other countries are destroyed, these idiots are next. So yeah, the real problem is Israel, it’s a cancer in the region and we’re seeing the rapid expansion of their “lebensraum” plan right now, with the excuse of “self defense” which only idiots are still buying at this point.
