| Rumint: Russian meltdown on Telegram about Iran in Syria |
| 2024-12-08 |
| [X] russians on full melt down on telegram.... Here the question was asked: where are the promised Iranian troops and Hezbollah? The latter is simple: the Lebanese group suffered serious losses in its command and rank and file during the last war with Israel. Therefore, Hezbollah was able to deploy only small forces in Homs, which is most likely its current limit for such operations. In the case of Iran, everything is more complicated: even if we leave aside the political aspects, the question of logistics arises, namely how to ensure the transportation of troops and material and technical resources. The land corridor through Iraq is closed - Deir ez-Zor was taken by the Kurds, and the desert highway by militants from At-Tanf. The Israeli Air Force does not allow all this to be airlifted to Damascus, threatening to simply shoot down the aircraft. So in this situation, Iran can only wish Assad a good mood, since it currently has no real opportunity to provide large-scale military support and preserve its “Shiite crescent.” |
