Victoria Ricciano, you are right. There they are, like sitting ducks. F-16 can easily target them. This is great news.

Now we are going to need the F35 and those 3 subs more than ever so the deal must not be allowed to fall through just because of a corruption case.
The government must increase the defense budget with Iran on the border and Putin will no doubt modernise the Syrian military so the north could become the biggest threat ever especially considering there is still a well armed Hezbollah in Lebanon and if we got into a fight with Iran or Syria then Hezbollh would be ordered to open a Lebanese front.

Far beyond Iraq and Syria to Lebanon and striking distance of Turkey, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Egypt and much of Southern Russia, North Africa and Southern Europe

Make no mistake though their benign 'leasing' of Syrian and Lebanese territory is nothing but. It is purely and simply a first step toward a complete takeover of the entire territory of Lebanon and Syria

Is this Iran finally taking its hegemonic ambitions one step too far?

Has Iran wrong footed and breached trust with Russia and especially Turkey and taken them by surprise to suddenly find new potential neighbours in Lebanon and Syria at the end of thousands of offensive missiles

And what about the effect on North Africa and South Europe..to a new kid on the block that may be running like loose cannon around the med

We don't have to be nuclear scientists to see that WHEREVER Iran has cast its shadow ..death and destruction follow

This is a dangerous development and requires a unity of purpose from the whole region and beyond to firmly confront or deal with before it becomes another N Korea

israel should destroy the airfield permanently and not wait for diplomacy. it can pass a message that any such iranian post will disappear .
