The Iranians Are Becoming Less Welcome in Damascus
(Ynet News) Alex Fishman - As long as there is an Iranian presence on Syrian soil, Israel can be expected to launch attacks, thereby endangering the critical financial aid to rebuild vital infrastructure that Assad's regime hopes to receive. Assad knows that Iran remains an obstacle to any serious effort to rebuild the country, even though it was the Iranians who stepped in to help during the civil war when the Syrian army fell apart. The more Iran competes with the Russians over hegemony, and the more its insistence on remaining in Syria threatens the flow of financial aid, the less welcome it will be by the Syrians.
