Iran's Fatemiyoun militia 'deploys' militants in Syria desert
The Fatemiyoun Brigade, key Iranian militia operating in eastern Syria, has reinforced its outposts in the Syrian desert, following a series of Daesh ambushes in the past few weeks, sources told Zaman al-Wasl Monday.
Dozens of military vehicles and Fatemiyoun militants have mobilized in the eastern countryside of Homs near the historic city of Palmyra, Al-Sukhna, Al-Talila" area, and the Hail oil field.
The Afghan Fatemiyoun militia is mainly operating also in DeirEzzor province along the Iraq border.
Iranian-backed sectarian militias have taken control of large parts of eastern DeirEzzor province since October 2017 following ISIS (Daesh) defeat and the collapse of the self-proclaimed Islamic Caliphate.
All of them are working under Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRG) led by Suleiman Rezaei, nicknamed the Iranian, who receives orders directly from QasemSoleimani, responsible for all foreign sectarian militias supporting the regime.
The Iranian regime spends an average of $10-12 billion in Syria annually, while the annual support afforded by the government to Iranian citizens is approximately $8 billion, reports say.
According to our sources, their combined strength does not exceed 15,000 fighters, with evident discrimination between the foreign and local forces, for while the former gets $400 per month, and the latter gets $150 at best.
The United States officially listed the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization at the beginning of 2019, an organization that was established in 1979 to protect Tehran's ruling religious establishment. However, later it became a transcontinental militia based in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, using them as a platform for expanding the perimeter of its influence and a theater for its security and military operations.
Israel launched wild-scale airstrikes in 2018 and 2019, targeting over 70 Iranian targets in the war-torn country.
Israel wants to prevent by all means the existence of a "Shiite corridor" linking "Tehran to Damascus," top Israeli officials say.
The eight-year-old war has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands and forced 13 million people from their homes, half of whom have left their shattered homeland.
