According to Reuters, militants affiliated to the Islamic Republic entered Syria from Iraq on Sunday evening to join the fight against anti-government rebels.
According to this report, Popular mobilisation forces and forces of Kata’ib Hezbollah of Iraq as well as Fatemiyoun are present in this mission.
A senior Syrian army source has confirmed that these militants crossed the Abu Kamal border and entered Syria on the evening of Sunday, December 2.
Ayatollah Rahimi Sighani Bamiani criticised the Shiite migrants of Afghanistan living in Iran who were willing to participate in the Syrian war. In response to the request of immigrants to participate in this war, he said that the participation of Afghans in the Syrian war "is not jihad, it is aggression”.
In a video message published on Sunday, Ayatollah Bamiani criticised Iran's view of Afghans and said, "Iran uses Afghan refugees as fuel and in the end throws them out as spies, looters, identity-less and terrorists."
Lashkar Fatemiyoun is a paramilitary force under the supervision of the Quds Force, the overseas branch of the IRGC, most of whose members are Afghan immigrants living in Iran, and a large number of them have been killed in Syria.
With the start of the attacks of the opposition forces of the Syrian government, the civil war in this country has entered a new phase. These attacks started on Wednesday and reports indicate that the anti-government forces have captured parts of the city of Aleppo and Idlib.
According to reports, more than 250 people have been killed in the first three days of these clashes, and this figure includes at least 140 rebels and 87 Syrian government forces.
Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, said on Sunday before his trip to Damascus that the Islamic Republic "resolutely supports the Syrian government and army”.
The Islamic Republic considers the survival of the Syrian government very important to secure its regional interests, and for this reason, the forces of the Islamic Republic entered the battlefield in Syria in 2017. It is said that around 2000 forces of the Islamic Republic were killed in Syria at that time.
