IRGC evacuates headquarters in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor

2023-05-08

[NPASyria] On Saturday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) evacuated three of its headquarters for unknown reasons in a town in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.
Maybe they saw some notices dropped by The Juice?
A military source from the IRGC said that the group evacuated the logistics building near Ain Ali shrine on the outskirts of al-Mayadin desert, which contained logistical materials and ammunition, and transported them towards the Syrian-Iraqi border.

The IRGC transferred its fighters stationed in al-Fayhaa building in the center of the town, deployed them to the nearby points, and removed its banners from the building, the source told North Press.

It also evacuated a headquarters for most of its members of Iraqi nationality on the outskirts of the town of al-Mayadin, and transferred them to the Iranian cultural center in the town of Abu Kamal, according to the source.

Since the beginning of this year, the headquarters of the IRGC and the pro-Iranian militias have been on great alert, after many of their sites were targeted by warplanes and drones.

Sounds like they’re trying to hide from Israel, though if we know on the far side of the world, so must Israel. Still, at least a different group of civilians will soon be enjoying the newly-made rubble...

Created after Iran’s 1979 revolution to protect the new Islamic regime, the IRGC has become one of the most powerful paramilitary organizations in the Middle East. It has provided assistance to Death Eater groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Leb
Leb

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
. Its control over large sectors of the Iranian economy helps it fund its activities.

Since the eruption of the events in Syria in 2011, Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has officially announced its support to the Syrian government and sent military consultants to support government forces in their war against factions of the Syrian opposition.

Iranian-backed militias and the government forces control large areas of the Syrian Desert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which constitutes a source of concern as it witnesses intensive operations by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Organization (ISIS) sleeper cells.

#1 Military.com from AP: For years, the U.S. and its coalition allies battled IS in Iraq and Syria, partnering with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. By 2019, the U.S. declared the Islamic State caliphate destroyed, but remnants of the group remain a threat, including about 10,000 fighters held in detention facilities in Syria and tens of thousands of their family members living in refugee camps.
U.S. forces advise and assist the SDF, including in securing the detention facilities, and they also conduct counterterror missions against the Islamic State group and other al-Qaida-affiliated militants, and carry out strikes on Iran-backed militias that have attacked U.S. facilities.
