Tehran ripening its long alliance with Damascus

Posted by Matt in April 9th, 2007

Iran’s direct investment in Syria is at an all-time high, reaching $1.5 billion over the past year, according to Iran’s ambassador to Damascus, Mohammad Hassan Akhtari. That figure could increase to as much as $3 billion in the coming year.

By the end of this year, 1 in 10 cars sold in Syria will be Iranian. The country’s first auto assembly plant, a $60 million facility to produce Iran Khodro sedans, was opened March 8 by Assad and Iranian Vice President Parviz Davoodi, who spent more than a week in Damascus. The Iranian firm intends to supply up to 40 percent of Syria’s $600 million car market.

Nicolas Sarkozy tend la main à Bachar el-Assad : déjà 1 mort ! Le Général Mohammad Suleiman ! L'assassinat en Syrie : La piste iranienne se confirme 05.08.2008 Le régime des mollahs a bâti sa sécurité sur sa capacité terroriste à mettre en péril la paix au Moyen-Orient par l'intermédiaire du Hezbollah. Son alliance avec la Syrie est un élément décisif de ce dispositif. Inquiétés des conséquences des discussions israélo-syriennes, les mollahs ont convoqué le président syrien à Téhéran. Il est arrivé très souriant et reparti abattu, absent. Pendant ce voyage, son conseiller en sécurité le Général Mohammad Suleiman a été victime d'un sniper. http://www.iran-resist.org/article4684 Un nouveau coup dur pour le régime syrien.

Is Assad Willing To Leave Axis Of Evil For Peace With Israel
Leaders and representatives from 43 nations were set to meet later Sunday in Paris to launch the Union for the Mediterranean, an ambitious project intended to deepen relations between the EU and countries along the Mediterranean Basin. Conceived as well to be a mechanism to ease political tensions in the region, the union scored its first success on Saturday when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Lebanese counterpart, Michel Suleiman, met in Paris and announced that their two countries intended to normalize relations. A pet project of French President Nicolas Sarkozy's, it is unclear whether Assad and Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will take advantage of the situation to shake hands and

Iran releases captured sailors
Hello. I'm Kristin Volk with a UPI headline update on this Wednesday, April 4, 2007. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he has pardoned the 15 British sailors and marines detained last month and will set them free. That's according to CNN. Admadinejad made the announcement at a news conference where he honored the border guards who captured them. The President honored three of those guards with medals for bravery.

There are no details about what Pelosi and President Bashar al-Assad talked about. A Syrian government official says it's doubtful that a first meeting of this type reached any expected...

Former Syrian Minister: Iran is Entitled to Get Nukes
Someone better tell former Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas that Bashar al-Assad, his fearless leader, wants to take a more 'nuanced' approach to Iran, at least until he can get Ehud K. Olmert to give him the Golan Heights. Following are excerpts from an interview with Mustafa Tlas, former Syrian defense minister, which aired on Al-Alam TV on May 26, 2008. A transcript follows. Mustafa Tlas: I believe that Iran has the right to get what it needs in order to have nuclear weapons. Why should Israel have nuclear weapons, even though it is an alien entity, while no other country has them, at least for the sake of balance of power? For your information -- how did Pakistan get its nuclear weapons? It was thanks to the late [UAE leader] Sheik Zayed, who gave Pakistan 1.5 billion...

Target: Syria
Dr Bashar al-Assad (Arabic: بشار الأسد‎, Baššār al-Asad) (born 11 September 1965) is the President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Regional Secretary of the Baath Party, and the son of former President Hafez al-Assad. Bashar al-Assad was born in Damascus, Syria on 11 September 1965. Initially Bashar had few political aspirations. Hafez al-Assad had been grooming Bashar's older brother, Basil al-Assad, to be the future president. However, Basil's death in an automobile accident in 1994 suddenly made Bashar his father's new heir apparent. When the elder Assad died in 2000, Bashar was elected President unopposed with what the regime claimed to be a massive popular support, after Syria's Majlis Al Shaa'b (Parliament) swiftly voted to lower the minimum age for candidates from 40 to...
