Iran Sends Elite Troops To Aid Assad Regime -- The Telegraph
Iran is intensifying its support for the regime of Bashar al-Assad by sending 150 senior Revolutionary Guards commanders to Syria to help repel opposition attempts to overthrow the government.
Western intelligence officials say that Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has personally sanctioned the dispatch of the experienced officers to ensure that the Assad regime, Iran's most important regional ally, survives the threat to its survival.
In addition, Iran has shipped hundreds of tons of military equipment, including guns, rockets, and shells, to Syria through the regular air corridor that has been established between Damascus and Tehran.
Update: Ahmadinejad Personally Ordered Officers to Syria, Say Sources -- Arutz Sheva
My Comment: It is now official .... the Iranians have "crossed the Rubicom" .... they are now fully vested in the survival of the Assad regime.
