The Saviz ship which featured an Iranian flag was hit with water mines attached to its hull on Wednesday. Israel did not claim responsibility for the attack, however, foreign media outlets are reporting that the IDF’s Shayetet 13 naval commandos executed the hit, which was the most recent in a slew of operations against Iran’s targets that the amphibious unit has executed the past two years.

But the latest satellite imagery suggests that Iran’s leadership is far from giving up. Iran has two central objectives in Syria:

kinda a creepy movie
That’s about it. The only thing incorrect is the idea the size was limited.
I suspect in time it could station forces there also.
As for Syria, I wouldn’t rule out an attempt at a complete
Iranian takeover there.
I believe Hezbollah controls Lebanon, so that’s essentially
an Iran enclave now. Iran arms and funds Hezbollah.
Weird just started to read Joel Rosenberg’s novels again.
