IRGC soldiers in Syria?



The above video purports to show IRGC soldiers confessing to their captors they have participated in the shooting of Syrian civilians, in assisting Syrian military/security personnel.

Is the video authentic?

It isn’t easy to field Iranian military/security units in an Arab environment, and vice-versa. There’s the language barrier, unfamiliarity with the urban surroundings, differences in respective training, equipment, etc. That said, it was done in Lebanon in the early/mid 80s. But the Iranians found they were of most use as trainers and advisors. For their part, the Syrians have a lot more experience right now at the application of military force they’ve been exerting continuously for months now, whereas the Iranians recent experiences are applied in law enforcement techniques primarily performed by NAJA and not the IRGC.

There were similar allegations following the 2009 presidential election in Iran: that Hamas and Hezbollah were out on the streets of Tehran attacking protesters. It's been suggested this rumor originated from Israeli intelligence sources.

Difficult to judge with certainty, but this author is skeptical of the video’s authenticity. If indeed IRGC personnel were captured in Syria, they would likely be observers. It makes sense for the Iranians to study both the Syrian military’s experiences in this form of warfare, as well as the tactics of the Free Syrian Army (and armed groups) which is being assisted by Western military Special Forces advisors.

  2. This is a IT IS A FAKE and Absolute RUBBISH Zionist psy-ops meant to discredit Iran. The so-called demonstrator "videos" that pop-up daily on You tube and Zionist media are filmed in Turkey on a Hollywood type set and this moronic episode is part of the US/Saudi/Qatari/Zionist production aimed at stoking Iranophobia in the region.

    The FACT is that the US funded Salafi/Wahabbi terrorists operating from Jordan and Turkey have been kidnapping Iranian pilgrims and engineers in Syria in order to pressure Iran. This pathetic tactic will fail as the Assad regime is proving a hard nut to crack as it has genuine popular support at home and many foreign backers including Russia, China, India and most of the non-aligned world.

    Expect more of these fake staged "videos" with Afghan accented "Iranians" babbling from Southern Turkey. This is typical US/Saudi/Zionist desperation.

  3. There are almost 20 000 mercenaries from Lybian war in Syria.
    Its a diversion for the countless evidence of Saudi state terror with Israeli Logistics.

  4. no video of Libyans in Syria Nader?
    Just IRGC then? How convenient. You can put it together with the video of the IRGC operative confessing to Newt Gingrich about shooting JFK from the grassy knoll.

  5. Perhaps they're there to gain experience in the event that they have to do the same in Iran. Not to mention the symbolic value of such support from Iran.
    When president chouchesku returned to Romania from a visit to Iran during the romanian revolution, it was rumored that soldiers from the IRGC accompanied him back and fought alongside his security forces in the street battles. They were a present from the then president Rafsanjani. Granted, I don't remember ever seeing any evidence to prove that.

    Its again a silly attempt by future ex regimes of Arabia to influence .

    They didn#t make it in Lebanon, Iraq and shall fail again in Syria.

  12. What is this deceit? This is not Aghani/Dari.

    The speaker speaks like a kurd from Iraq. Or more precisely: The speaker speaking Farsi has an Iraqi-kurdish accent.

    His Iranian passport shows the place of birth of "Saqqez" which is in Iranian Kurdistan.

    What would an Iranian kurd with Iraqi-kurdish accent do in Syria?

    Anyway "the syrian opposition" seems to be operating very al-qaida-ish with opposing Iranian shia clerics and the secular Ba'ath in Syria.

    This is very fishy. Smells like CIA to me...

  14. We won't really know for sure until the Baathists are driven out and their files are examined.

    It's more likely that the iranians would be staying behind the scenes and that anyone directly involved in fighting would be Hezbollah or other Arabs.


    That's the way the Iranian regime operates. ...they point the way to the fighting, shout some slogans and wave if it looks like the other side is going to fight back.
