Re: 1,429 people were killed by a chemical attack carried out by Syrian Gov- US gov c
People scoffed because it was "highly unlikely" that it ever happened.
Syria and Iran are strategic allies. Syria is often called Iran's "closest ally",[1] ideological conflict between the Arab nationalism ideology of Syria's secular ruling Baath party and the Islamic Republic of Iran's pan-Islamist policies notwithstanding. Iran and Syria have had a strategic alliance ever since the Iran–Iraq War, when Syria sided with non-Arab Iran against its fellow Baath-ruled neighbor but enemy Iraq and was isolated by some Arab countries.[2] The two countries shared a common animosity towards Saddam Hussein and coordination against the United States and Israel. Syria cooperates with Iran in smuggling arms to the Hisbollah in Lebanon, since Israel has attacked Syria.[3] During the Syrian Civil war Iran has conducted "an extensive, expensive, and integrated effort to keep President Bashar al-Assad in power."[4]...
