Iranian and Syrian defense ministers pledged during a meeting in Damascus to work in coordination to counter the regional threat they see posed by Israel.
Syrian Defense Minister Ali Mohammad Habib welcomed his Iranian counterpart Ahmad Vahidi to Damascus to discuss bilateral ties and broader regional issues.
Vahidi called for enhanced ties in the defense arena, noting a united front was needed to help counter the threat from Israel, the Tehran Times reports.
When the Syrians and Iranians meet, you can be sure Iraqis will be dying in larger numbers some weeks in the future. Iraqi elections are coming up early next year, you know. And the region's terror sponsors have to plan for that day.
And perhaps Lebanese and Israelis and Afghans, along with our people in the area, of course.
