Iran’s growing power could be explosive - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Iran is poised to consolidate its growing power in the Middle East as
it tries to complete a strategic land bridge from the Arabian Gulf to
the Mediterranean despite advances in Syria by the United States and its
allies.
Having cleared the last obstacles for the Shia-controlled corridor on
the Iraq-Syria border, the Islamic Republic, unlike its ally Russia,
plans to remain in Syria permanently and is building military bases in
southern Syria, moves that Israel sees as a strategic threat."
Comment: While our news media remains fixated on Palestinian demonstrations against an embassy move that won't happen for years, the real threat is examined in this report from UPI. The threat of war is real simply because Israel will not tolerate Iran setting up shop in Syria. The Palestinians are a distraction, Iran is the real story.
