For obvious reasons, Israel has always warned that it would not tolerate Iran's presence in Syria. However, it appears the Islamic Republic has chosen to ignore the warnings from the Jewish state having decided to build a missile factory in the war-torn country under the cover of a Russian defence umbrella.
According to reports, satellite images have shown what appeared to be a base and factory taking shape in northwest Syria near the town of Baniyas. This is an area covered by a Russian S-400 aerial defence system set up to protect Moscow’s operations in the Syrian civil war.
Notably, the development in Wadi Jahannam near Baniyas was spotted by ImageSat International, based in Israel. The company reported that the base’s layout was reminiscent of Parchin, Iran’s highly secretive missile development centre.
Not surprisingly, it is being assumed that the missiles were to add to Iran’s and Hezbollah’s arsenal for use against Israel.
