Inside 'the Glasshouse': Iran 'is running covert war in Syria costing BILLIONS from top secret spymaster HQ near Damascus airport'
By JakeWallis, Associate Global Editor, for Mailonline
Iran is shoring up the Syrian regime from a secret HQ in Damascus
nicknamed ‘the Glasshouse’ - and commanding a huge covert army in support of
Assad, according to leaked intelligence passed by activists to MailOnline.
The National Council of
Resistance of Iran (NCRI) claims that the theocratic state's Supreme Leader Ali
Khamenei has spent billions in hardware for its ally Bashar al-Assad in the
last five years - and runs operations on the ground from a five-floor
monolith near Damascus airport.
The Iranian HQ, which plays a pivotal role in supporting Assad's
regime alongside Russia, contains intelligence and counterintelligence
operations, and has vaults packed with millions of dollars in cash flown in
from Tehran, claims the NCRI.
The allegations are
contained in a dossier of reports apparently leaked by senior sources inside
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and collated by the dissident activists who oppose
the Iranian regime.
The dissidents make the claim that Iran now commands about 60,000
Shia troops in Syria – 15,000 more men than Britain took into the 2003 Iraq war
– while Assad's army has been reduced to just 50,000 soldiers.
In addition, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which has an
independent command structure but operates in close coordination with Iran, has
about 10,000 troops in the country, they say.
The NCRI is the exiled Iranian opposition movement committed to
the overthrow of the Shia regime in Tehran. It has leaked intelligence about
the regime in the past, and, while not all of it has proved accurate, in 2002,
it sensationally exposed the existence of secret nuclear facilities at Natanzand Arak, in central Iran, which made Western powers more cautious in
negotiating with Tehran.
Theory : The Iranian regime's
top export has always been terrorism, it is an integral part of its ideology!
And this regime the main cause of instability in the Middle East and world and repression and executions within Iran
