Syrian Chemical Weapons May End Up in the Hands of Iranian-Proxy Hizbullah


(Alma Research and Education Center) Maj. (res.) Tal Beeri and Lt.-Col. (ret.) Teddy Sapir - The CERS Research Center serves as Syria's national military industry, employing 20,000 people. It is responsible for the research, development, and military production of advanced weapons such as surface-to-surface missiles (such as the M-600 / Fateh-110 missile, which is at the heart of the joint Iranian-Syrian and Hizbullah precision project). It is also responsible for developing and manufacturing chemical, biological, and potentially nuclear weapons. Iran is focused on developing and manufacturing precision missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs on Syrian soil using the CERS Center's infrastructure. Certain initiatives, particularly those at Institute 4000, are currently under direct Iranian supervision by senior IRGC Quds Force officers. CERS Center installations function as Hizbullah production plants, guided and supervised by Iranian expertise. The CERS Center has vast experience in chemical weapons development and production. Despite the Syrian regime's claim to have destroyed its chemical weapons, it now possesses extensive chemical capabilities. The Syrian regime considers the stockpiles of chemical weapons in its possession as a guarantee of its survival. This capability may benefit the radical Shiite axis led by Iran. Hizbullah's use of chemical weapons in the next confrontation with Israel cannot be ruled out.
