Ok, so you say that Iran will be transporting a full combat division (with logistic support) through the Red Sea (bordered by their enemy Saudi Arabia) to the Suez Canal to be deployed in Syria...that about right?

You may be right but two questions arise...

Since the Iranian navy's largest ship is a frigate(5), are they going to hire a Carnival Line cruise ship?

What is the source of your information? It is not the posted article.

Simply Google ‘Iranians in Latakia’ for any number of sources.

It was a question/hypothesis, not statement of fact.
Just pointing out there are other ways to move troops.
