DAMASCUS — Iran on Sunday admitted for the first time it has elite forces present in Syria and neighbouring Lebanon.
Meanwhile, fighting raged in Syria’s two biggest cities on Sunday as UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi ended his first visit to the country on a peace mission a rebel commander said was doomed to fail.
In a rare news conference, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said members of his elite Quds Force were in Syria and Lebanon, but only to provide “counsel”. “A number of Quds Force members are present in Syria and Lebanon… we provide [these countries] with counsel and advice, and transfer experience to them,” Brig. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said in Tehran.
“But it does not mean that we have a military presence there.”
Western and Arab countries have accused Iran of giving military aid to the Syrian regime.

If Western nations (and Israel) have ‘advisors’ in Syria why should not Iran have also? Let’s be open and fair and not onesided and blind. (Well, blind on one eye is supposed to be the sign of dajjal, is it not?) (Is today’s press the actual dajjal?)
