Leaked documents show size of Iran’s support to Syria
2023-08-14
[NPASyria] Leaked documents from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that Tehran spent $50 billion to support Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
’s government since the beginning of the conflict in Syria, the Middle East Monitor reported on Friday.

The Middle East Monitor reported that an Iranian hacking group leaked documents that show that in the past ten years 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...
exported oil and "paid lines of credit and other payments to Damascus as well as cash to the Syrian government."

The hacking group Uprising till Overthrow, affiliated with the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) opposition Albania-based group, that was previously armed but has turned mainly into a political advocacy group.
Being the political wing is much less likely to get ine killed...
The documents reveal Iran made agreements with the al-Assad’s government in September 2022 to restore only $18 billion of the "debts" in the form of "investment and the transfer of phosphates, oil and other resources from Syria" within the next 50 years.
...a bold assumption that both parties will still be around to enjoy it, half a century from now.
Iranian authorities did not comment on the leaked documents, but the Iranian media has covered most of the projects and agreements mentioned in the documents over the years.

Iran and Syria have been strategic allies since the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Must’ve been the only choice for each after that thing with Egypt fell through, one being revolutionary Shiites, the other Arab National Socialists more naturally allied with the Soviet Union.
In 2011, when the Syrian civil war broke out, Iran intervened and provided significant logistical, technical and financial support, in addition to training and troops for the Syrian government. Iran sees the survival of the Syrian government crucial to its interest in the region.
To be a proper regional hegemon one needs vassal states — though in theory it’s the vassal that are supposed to pay for the privilege rather than the other way round.
In government-held areas, Iran promotes Shiite doctrine to increase and facilitate its penetration through militarization of the population, influencing the locals and businessmen, and building cultural center and shrines.
It’s been more than a decade — how’s that working out?
