As mentioned in my previous post, after the U.S. had launched 105 missiles on 12 April, a Pentagon spokeperson said that two chemical weapon facilities in Syria were destroyed. But that wasn't exactly the case.
According to a Lebanese source, the U.S. pretended to target chemical weapon facilities in South Syria. Actually, they destroyed a weapon convoy headed to Hezbollah group in South Lebanon. The trucks were probably accompanied by Iranian military forces. As it known, Iran has recently succeeded in securing one land corridor that goes through the Syrian desert and then continues to the Lebanese border through Shiite populations centers.
Unfortunately, in the current regional cold war, Syria is the principal conduit for Iranian military and financial assistance to the Lebanese Hezbollah.
In this picture it's easy to see two important alliances. On the one hand, We can see Russia, Iran, Turkey and Syria. On the other hand, the U.S. are followed by France, and Britain in support of Israeli and Saudi Arabian interest in ensuring to stop Iran's regional expansion.
