Iran's Syria Project Begins to Stutter
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Since Israel started taking action against the Iranian presence in Syria, the Iranians have reduced their presence near Damascus airport, centering much of their activity in the T-4 air force base, east of Homs, much farther from the border with Israel. Western intelligence sources estimate that the number of pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen in Syria has been halved, from 20,000 to 10,000. Tehran is having difficulty financing its Syrian project.
