Iran will keep military forces in Syria, the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards said yesterday, defying Israeli threats that they will be targeted if they do not leave the country, the Worthy News website reports today (January 18, 2019).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on January 15 that Israeli forces would continue to attack Iranians in Syria unless they quickly leave the country.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will keep its military advisers, revolutionary forces, and its weapons in Syria," Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Revolutionary Guards top commander, said to the Iranian news media.
Jafari called Netanyahu's threats "a joke," and warned that the Israeli government "was playing with a lion's tail."
