Military Official: Terrorists' Destruction in Syria Prevented by Israel

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior military official blasted Israel for supporting the terrorist groups in the regional countries, specially Syria and Iraq.

"Had it not been for Israel's intelligence backup for the terrorists, the terrorist groups in Syria would have surely been destroyed around 2 to 3 years ago," Security Advisor of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces General Rastegarpanah said on Wednesday.
He said that today everyone is aware that the dissident organizations that are confronting the Syrian government are subgroups of Israel's intelligence bodies.

General Rastegarpanah reiterated that the terrorists easily commute between Syria and Israel, reminding that "the Zionists set up field hospitals for the terrorists and supply them with ammunition".

Last month, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan warned the world states of the threat imposed by terrorist groups which are supported by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"We believe that today the entire world is threatened by insecurity, instability and spread of horror resulted from acts of the Takfiri-Zionist terrorist groups which are supported by the US, Israel and certain regional countries, headed by Saudi Arabia," General Dehqan said, addressing the 2016 Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS) on Tuesday afternoon.

Rysslands utrikesminister berättar att Turkiet "tvingar" EU att skapa en zon på kurdisk mark i norra Syrien som Turkiet ska "kontrollera/säkra åt flyktingarnas vägnar". Men som skulle innebära skydd för ISIS samt Al-Nusra. (USA, Ryssland vill inte)

Assad är inte vår allierad.
Turkiet bistår till ISIS, Nusra samt handel.

Lavrov, Ankaras relation med Washington skiljer sig från Moskvas samarbete med Assads regering i Syrien.

"Assad är inte vår allierade, förresten. Ja, vi stöder honom i kampen mot terrorism och bevara staten Syrien.
Men han är inte en allierad i den meningen som Turkiet är allierad till USA, " berättade Lavrov till Sputnik.

Lavrov pekade på bevis för sambandet mellan den turkiska regeringen med ISIS och Jabhat al-Nusra, som uteslöts från den syriska fredsprocessen i förmedlande av Ryssland och USA i februari.

Turkiet tros utföra handel med olja och artefakter med jihadister, så att de kan passera gränsen fritt och förse dem med vapen.

Ryska utrikesministern skyllde Ankara för att pressa EU att acceptera tanken på "säkra zoner" för att vara värd åt flyktingar på den turkisk-syriska gränsen, trots idén förkastas av USA.

"De talar fortfarande om säkerhetszoner. Tyvärr har EU också börjat ta begreppet säkerhetszoner som ges under utpressning från Turkiet ", sade han.

"Åtminstone när [USA:s president Barack] Obama var i Hannover, [Tysklands förbundskansler Angela] Merkel sade vid en presskonferens att" vi stöder idén om säkerhetszoner ", vilket Obama omedelbart offentligt förnekat, men det lät symtomatisk", sa Rysslands utrikesminister.

Turkiet ligger bakom all prat om "säkra zoner" och en "plan B" för Syrien, som avslöjar dess "expansionistiska strävanden" Lavrov tillade att Ankara fortfarande har en militär närvaro i Irak trots uttryckliga önskemål irakiska regeringen att lämna , som aldrig godkänt turkiska styrkor för att komma in och har upprepade gånger krävt att de lämnar.

"It has come from Sheikh Abu Mus'ab al-Suri (may God protect him): it is requested to remove heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns entirely from the surrounding of the Palmyra desert and inside Palmyra towards Wilayat al-Raqqa in order for them to be re-prepared and for some of them to be redeployed to Qalamoun as the brothers need them there to strike the fortresses of the Rafidites and Nusayris.

You will be informed of all the military orders bit by bit at the hands of Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Uzbeki..."

Just a note on this Sky News 'IS-regime' collusion documents story: none of the documents shown prove the story line

Just a more general point: if you make a story based on IS documents not previously seen, you are obliged to publish the documents in full.

Not publishing unseen IS documents you use in a piece undermines public transparency and openness needed in debate.
