Both Washington and Tel Aviv's past decade of Syria policy has been driven largely by fears of a so-called "Shia crescent" or Iranian land bridge which would conceivably connect Tehran with the Mediterranean via pro-Shia Baghdad and Damascus in a continuous arch of influence.
A 2007 article in The New Yorker by famed investigative journalist Seymour Hersh even predicted that a major proxy war fueled by the West and Saudi Arabia, and centered in Syria would soon erupt in order to prevent this so-called Iranian and pro-Shia expansion to the Mediterranean.
A literal new land bridge establishing an international highway that runs all the way from Tehran to Beirut is now under construction, just released satellite images reveal.
No doubt these new ground forces will take note of any potential Iranian troop or proxy militia movements through Iran into Syria.
The Israel-based Image Satellite International company released a new satellite image showing the construction of a land bridge between Syria and Iraq.
Iran's land bridge from #Tehran to the #Mediterranean: #Iranian-handeled militias build a new #Iraq-#Syria border crossing which will be controlled by #IRGC and allow transfer of weapons, oil and personnel.
With the opening of the international highway, Iran will be able to bypass the sanctions imposed on their country and Syria.
