Iran And Syria Sign Missile Pact
TEHRAN, June 1 (UPI) — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps has created an independent missile command to be integrated with a Syrian missile program, military sources said.
The DEBKAfile news agency reported Sunday that the joint command was formalized in a treaty signed by the Syrian Defense Minister Hassan Turkmani in Tehran last week.
Under the agreement, Syria’s missile units would come under the new Iranian missile section and their operations would be fully coordinated with Tehran.
Iranian officers are to be attached to Syrian units, while Syrian officers are posted to the Iranian command.
Military sources told DEBKAfile that Iran’s control of four hostile missile fronts would virtually neutralize the American and Israeli anti-missile defense systems in the region.
