In the past few days, #Syria has transferred 23 of its passenger & warplanes to #Iran. Velayati has time & again told Syrian media Tehran provides $8bn/year to Damascus. IRGC provides for the “Syria Basij,” established by Iran in 2012 to maintain Assad in power.
Adding the Lebanese Hezbollah, Quds Force, Afghan Fatemioun & Pakistani Zeynabioun, all provided by #Iran, this reaches $4bn/year. Add this to the $8bn/year mentioned by Velayati, equals $12bn/year. This has been ongoing for the past 7 years = around $84bn.
All this is on the verge of being destroyed through highly possible US-led attacks. While no one is sure, signs indicate these attacks are imminent.
