Reuters: Iran withdraws its senior officers from Syria and turns to Hezbollah for help. The Revolutionary Guard is going through what may be the most difficult period since its arrival in Syria a decade ago to help President Bashar al-Assad in the war in the country.
Israel assassinated 6 of his senior advisors during strikes in Syria since last December, including the prominent military advisor in the Quds Force, Radhi Mousavi. Iran does not intend to withdraw from Syria - which is an essential part of Tehran's sphere of influence - as the latest step highlights the regional effects of the war on the Gaza Strip.
