According to American intelligence reports, there are some 200 Iranian paramilitary Quds Force personnel in Syria. Qassim Suleimani, the Quds Force commander, recently ordered Iranian artillery and armor officials to help Assad's regime, American officials say. Suleimani has also requested that several hundred fighters from Asaib al-Haq and Kataib Hizbullah, two Iraqi Shiite militias that have been trained by the Iranians, join the war effort in Syria. 2013-05-22 00:00:00Full Article
