Iran has trained some 150,000 Syrian citizens in Iran, and another 150, 000 in Syria itself, Iranian MP Seyyed Mahmoud Nabavian said, Fars news agency reported on Feb. 12.

Speaking at the Islamic Association of Independent Students meeting in Iranian eastern city of Mashhad, Nabavian said all of the mentioned Syrian citizens underwent military training.

Nabavian went on to note that Iran dispatched some 50 000 Lebanese Hezbollah militants to Syria.

Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since March 2011, with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees putting the number of Syrian refugees at over two million.

The opposing forces in Syria claim that Iranian military forces are fighting against them, while Iran dismisses the claims, saying that Iran only has advisors in Syria, to transfer its military experience to the Syrian army.

Iran is the closest ally of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad.

Nabavian added that Hezbollah has announced having 80 000 missiles that can be targeted towards Israel.

“Iran’s efforts on training Syrian citizens and Hezbollah’s readiness to launch missiles at Israel made the U.S. policy in Syria to be unsuccessful,” Nabavian said.

During the conflict in Syria which began in March 2011, more than 136,000 people were killed in the country and over 4.2 million became refugees in Syrian territory and over two million fled to neighboring countries. Most of the Syrian refugees are in Lebanon , Jordan , Turkey and Iraq.

Iranian officials have previously denied allegations that Hezbollah is a terrorist group. The European Union agreed on July 2013, to put the armed wing of Hezbollah on its terrorism blacklist.

The Lebanese Shi’ite movement, an ally of Iran, has attracted concern in Europe and around the world in recent months for its role in sending thousands of fighters to support Assad’s forces, helping turn the tide of Syria’s three -year-old civil war.

During his visit to Lebanon in January 2014, Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif put a wreath at the grave of assassinated Hezbollah military commander Imad Mughniyeh.

The United States later condemned the move, as spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council Caitlin Hayden said that Moughniyeh had been responsible for “heinous acts of terrorism that killed hundreds of innocent people, including Americans,” according to Reuters.

The condemnation came as the United States works with world powers to ensure Iran abides by an interim deal aimed at containing Iran’s nuclear program.

    I don’t want to hear that HA didn’t go into Syria under Iran’s orders again.

      So the real number is 50,000 which is 10 times more than Hezbollah has been claiming as only 5,000 that have gone into Syria. This means that Hezbollah are masters of deception and that they have sent most of their fighters into Syria. They want to look strong by saying look how much 5,000 of their fighters can do when in fact it’s 50,000 fighters. Meanwhile, the LAF is looking after Hezbollah’s security interests at home in Lebanon while they are away in Syria.

          I often wonder about ‘the numbers’ – of either Hezzy or Quds. And 300 thou. ‘trained’ Syrian soldiers the line from Iran now? You know they love to pump up everything … the Glorious Navy lately, for instance.
          For any given ‘army’, how many are needed in the kitchen, after all.

I’m up at the Gold Coast with family. And its damn hard trying to find some good lebanese food. Thus far I am not impressed. Sydney smashes them in terms of food.

            Correction I meant 10 000. From my understanding there are 60 000 lebanese “militants” excluding women and children. Yes outsiders in the thousands no doubt they are also helping assad?

            Eh mabrook gold coast is a blast maybe you should think about opening up a jasmines lol.

    I just finished watching a show on the Iranian Revolution from 35 years ago. I could not help in comparing how the Shah abused his people in Iran in the same way that Assad is abusing his people in Syria. The only difference is that hypocrite Iran is now supporting Assad who is trying to crush the Syrian Revolution. Just like the Iranians were able to overthrow the Shah, so will the Syrians overthrow Assad even if hypocrite Iran doesn’t like it and tries to stop it at all costs.

      Are you serious? The two scenarios are incomparable. Syria has been invaded by foreign extremists from almost 50 countries after pro-reform protests turned into a war after the intervention of regional powers especially Saudi, Qatar and Turkey. In Iran there were no foreigners.

        i agree with osman, also…

        “For years, the U.S. denied its involvement in the 1953 coup, but in March 2000, then Secretary of State Madeline Albright admitted, “In 1953 the United States played a significant role in orchestrating the overthrow of Iran’s popular Prime Minister, Mohammed Mossadeqh. The Eisenhower Administration believed its actions were justified for strategic reasons; but the coup was clearly a setback for Iran’s political development. And it is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs.”

        Following the coup, the U.S installed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi , and the thriving democracy that existed in Iran was crushed. The Shah led 25 years of tyrannical rule (supported by the CIA) that resulted in the killing of thousands of Iranians who opposed the U.S. puppet government.

        On the economic front, the Shah denationalized Iran’s oil industry, 60% of which went to American firms. “

          As I always said, the religion of USA is ‘Big Business’. Iranians needed a Union, not an army. 😉

            yep big business… “The U.S. debt was more than $14.3 trillion during the so-called debt crisis of 2011, when the level of borrowing reached its statutory limit and the president warned of a potential default if the cap wasn’t raised.

            The largest portion of U.S. debt, 68 cents for every dollar or about $10 trillion, is owned by individual investors, corporations, state and local governments and, yes, even foreign governments such as China that hold Treasury bills, notes and bonds.”

      Sorry, Assad is trying to crush the revolution. Lol. I think you need correction, Assad has crushed the fake revolution. Even with all the outside help they had, he was still able to serve them a good old ass kicking. I think you to refresh yourself with information. I would advise you stop watching Aljazera and CNN.

        Outside help? By the Qeadas and Talibanis and mercenaries? That’s help??
        I imagine you can return from the Gold Coast now … Since Assad has ‘won’. There are jobs for brick-layers … box-lunches supplied by the UN. 😉

          Assad got better outside help from Russia, Iran, Iraq and Lebanon (Hezbollah) that the Syrian opposition has been getting from a few thousand outsiders.

          This is Madness, ridiculous, absurd (Igor), Saudi-Qatari Rats-Israel and the West funded these illiterate mercenaries, to kill Christians, destroy Churches and Monasteries, Librairies, Hospitals, Shools, Universities, Cultural Centers (all of what Assad built), invade Maaloula, rob Syrian homes, kidnapp Syrian Nuns, Bishops, behead priests, rape children, impose Sharia. Outside help?
          “AlQaeda and Talibanis” massacred entire Allawites Shia Christians villages, even Sunni Syrians are afraid of them they don’t UNDERSTAND their language, dialects, coming from 80 different countries.

          See who’s smiling with the guy on the left, who had just kidnapped the two Bishops in 2012, still missing. Happy St Valentine.

            No worries 5th. However I may require training. And you will need to pay me a 6 digit salary. And no 5th I wont take scotch as payment. -:))

            Since I never saw a six-digit income myself, that could be a problem. But you can keep 90% of the profits … how’s that? My pension gets me by for the scotch.
            Training? Not a problem.
