Recently I was discussing with few other gentlemen I work with about the purported Iranian-Syria defense agreements that were signed secretly since the Iraq invasion. That agreement not only stressed the cooperation the 2 countries had since their alliance at the onset of the Iraq-Iran war, but new clauses that stress that one will actively come to the aid of the other in case of war.
According to my understanding that agreement provides for:
1) Iran subsidizing Syrian purchases from Russia with oil money.
2) Iran helping Syria pay of Soviet era debts to Russia in order to clear the
way for new purchases.
3) It provides for the stationing of Iranian revolutionary guards troops
and equipment in Syria in times of heighten tension with Israel
4) It provides for Syria to ratchet up support for Iran in the Arab league
and the Arab nations
5) It provides for Syria and Hezbollah to open up a second front in case war
against Iran
6) It provides that Iran & Syria to coordinate their ballistic missiles,
chemical & biological weapon arsenal in case the 2 nations are
threatened with full fledged invasion or regime change.
etc...
What I want to know is if war breaks out between Israel and Syria, how will Israel react to thousands of trained, motivated, and willing IRGC troops taking part in actions against Israel alongside the Syrian army. Looking at how supposed Iranian training and leadership led to Hezbollah's unexpectedly brilliant performance in Lebanon. I believe that the presence of volunteer, well trained, and professional IRGC troops not the conscripts like the Syrian troops may level the playing field at the front for the Syrian army. IRGC troops in the front with the Syrian troops and IRGC troops taking over the air defenses of Syria can and may also help Syria perform better in a war.
What I want to discuss is the affects of an Iranian involvement in a conflict between Israel and Syria. I want to also discuss how Iran can effect the balance in such a war. I know you guys will bring up how Arab involvement in such previous wars didn't change much of the outcome, but one must remember many of those Arab nations like Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc that were providing troops to the front states such as Syria and Egypt had no experience in a war like Iran, they had ill equiped and ill motivated troops, they also had conscript force unlike the volunteer IRGC, those Arab troops also hated their governments unlike the IRGC who is willing to fight for their government to the death. Overall I believe an Iranian contribution can affect such as war more than the previous Arab contributions.
