Sources: 150,000 Saudi Mercenaries Ready to Enter Syria
 

TEHRAN (FNA)- Informed sources revealed that Riyadh is holding training courses for 150,000 Saudi, Sudanese, Egyptian and Jordanian forces to prepare them for war in Syria.

The Saudi sources told the CNN channel that the 150,000-strong army is now stationed in Saudi Arabia and will soon be dispatched to Syria.

They also said that Morocco, Turkey, Bahrain, the UAE and Qatar will also deploy their forces to Syria through the Turkish borders, and Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei will dispatch mercenaries to Saudi Arabia too.

On Thursday, the Saudi Defense Ministry said it stood ready to deploy ground troops to Syria to allegedly aid the US-led anti-ISIL, also known as Daesh, coalition.

Riyadh has been a member of the US-led coalition that has been launching airstrikes against Daesh in Syria since September 2014, without the permission of Damascus or the United Nations. In December 2015, Saudi Arabia started its own Muslim 34-nation coalition to allegedly fight Islamic extremism.

Daesh or ISIL/ISIS is a Wahhabi group mentored by Saudi Arabia and has been blacklisted as a terrorist group everywhere in the world, including the United States and Russia, but Saudi Arabia.

Both Tehran and Moscow have issued stern warnings to Riyadh, stressing that the Saudi intruders, who in fact intend to rescue the terrorists that are sustaining heavy defeats these days, will be crushed in Syria.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Saudi Arabia doesn't have the guts to send its armed forces to Syria.

"They claim they will send troops (to Syria) but I don’t think they will dare do so. They have a classic army and history tells us such armies stand no chance in fighting irregular resistance forces," Jafari told reporters in Tehran on Saturday.

"This will be like a coup de grâce for them. Apparently, they see no other way but this, and if this is the case, then their fate is sealed," he added.

Jafari, said this is just cheap talks, but Iran welcomes the Saudi decision if they decide to walk on this path.

Another match ready for the powderkeg that is the ME.

If they want to blow each other to hell or allahland is of no importance to me - as long as none of our troops are in there.

Iranian news.

If this is true, then satellite imagery will show the camps.  For training camps for 150,000... are not small or easy to hide.

If anyone wants to confirm this, these guys provide commercial satellite imagery.

No disagreement there, but as with all things in the ME, this will likely end up biting everyone on the butt.

This indicates there is ample firepower and troop counts to wipe out ISIL several times over. With Russia including air power, plus US and NATO air power, it should be a devastating defeatin hours or days.

Let me know when it is completed. Seriously, it is a positive sign.

I confess not following this as I should, but let me see if I have this straight. There are three factions here: 1) ISIS, 2) the Russia led coalition with Iran, Hezbollah, and Iraqi shiites trying to prop up Assad, and 3) the US led coalition of the Saudis, Turks, and a whole bunch of other Sunni Muslim nations trying to gain victory for the 'moderate' rebels in Syria.

It seems like the coalitions are about ready to go to war with each other, and the group that should be the focus, ISIS, is getting shoved to the side. Or I could be wrong.
