Iran Is Doing Big Business in Syria
(Ha'aretz-VOA News) David Rosenberg - Iran signed a contract last week to provide five gas-fired power plants to the Syrian city of Aleppo. In January, the two countries signed deals that gave Iran a mobile telephony license and right to build a new network, develop an oil terminal, and operate phosphate mines. Iran is also getting grants of land for farms and industrial facilities. Tehran regards the contracts as payback for the money, men and materiel it provided that kept Assad in power.
