he Syrian armed forces are being strengthened in an unprecedented way in recent memory with the help of generous funding from Iran and its troops appear to be moving closer to the border with Israel.

The Syrians are bolstering their forces in all areas except the air force, which has been believed to be weak for some time. The main emphasis of the efforts has been missiles and long-range rockets to compensate for the weak air force.

The Syrian navy, after years of neglect, is also being reinforced with an Iranian version of a Chinese anti-ship missile, similar to the one used by Hezbollah during the second Lebanon war to strike the Israeli destroyer INS Hanit.

Is Syria anticipating US Iran war?

1. I think that the Israeli's

are in danger of being trapped in a death box. If we attack Iran, I believe Syria will attack for the land they claim and Iraq and Iran will go nuts and also launch attacks...governments in Egypt and Lebanon would fall and Israel would be demolished. Oh and Russia or China would probably step in too. Can you say nuclear war?
