Running low on cannon fodder?
Via Times of Israel:
The Iranian regime has launched a public campaign to recruit volunteers to fight alongside regime forces and Hezbollah men in neighboring war-torn Syria, amid reports that Israel launched a pair of successful airstrikes there.
The Iranian recruitment call appears mainly on a site belonging to supporters of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to theIran-Israel Observer, which is run by Israeli Iranian commentator Meir Javedanfar. Would-be volunteers are asked to call an Iranian number or send a text message. The Iranian site also bears the logo of Hezbollah, which recently said it was “ready to prevent Syria from falling into Tel Aviv and Washington’s hands.”
The site quotes prominent Iranian lawmaker Mohammad Saleh Jokar as announcing: “Today our main war front is against the Zionist entity. This front has to be strengthened and the Zionist entity must be destroyed in the region. The treacheries are continuing and there is no longer a justification to stand still; those who are volunteers have to go and start helping.”
The recruitment drive comes a day after an Iranian commander said that Syria was perfectly capable of defending itself and did not require help, but that Tehran was ready to support Syria and offer it aid in case of further Israeli strikes.
