Iran has started evacuating senior IRGC commanders, other officials from Syria — NYT
[IsraelTimes] Iran has started evacuating military commanders and other Iranian officials from Syria, the New York Times reports, as the Syrian government comes under increasing pressure from advancing rebel forces.

Citing regional and Iranian officials, the report says among those who have been moved out of Syria are senior commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, some diplomats and their families, and civilians, with the evacuations beginning Friday morning.

The US newspaper also reports that some of the officials left by Tehran via plane, while others departed by land for Lebanon, Iraq and the Syrian port city of Latakia.

Together with Russia, the Islamic Republic has been a key supporter of President Bashar al-Assad during the over decade-long Syrian civil war, with the Syrian regime serving as a key component in the Iran-led anti-Israel, anti-US “axis of resistance” along with Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror organization and other Iranian proxy groups across the region.

#3 Biden sort of supports ISIS and definitely supports IRGC. They are sort of bookies to mayhem. Glad to see them go.

#5  So ISIS is advancing.

I thought this time it’s an Al Nusra blitzkrieg, Skidmark. ISIS remnants have been absorbed by the “Syrian National Army” paramilitaries on the Turkish payroll, yes, but they are no longer animated by the current heir of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi first caliph of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
