Iran to Boost Advisory Mission in Syria
Local Editor
A top commander of Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that Tehran will increase its military advisory presence in Syria.
Following a new round of field developments in the fight against terrorist and Takfiri groups in Syria, Iran plans to boost its advisory presence in the crisis-hit country, the head of the IRGC's Public Relations Office, Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, said on Friday.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian had also earlier said that the Islamic Republic would step up its advisory assistance to Syria to help the Arab country in the fight against terrorism.
Amir-Abdollahian also stressed that the Islamic Republic has military advisers in Iraq and Syria "at the request of the two countries' governments."
The comments come as three IRGC members were martyred in the fight against Takfiri terrorists in Syria over the past two days.
Sharif said that Abdollah Baqeri and Amin Karimi, members of IRGC's Ansar forces, were also killed on Thursday and Friday.
On October 12, two veteran Iranian commanders, who were sent to Syria to give the country's army military consultations, were martyred during the battle against the "ISIL" terrorist group.
Colonel Hamid Mokhtarband and Colonel Farshad Hassounizadeh, both senior commanders with the IRGC, were killed during the battle against the Takfiri
terrorists in Syria.
