Whodunit? Massive explosion in Syria’s Hama leads to many theories as Syrian regime blame shifts between Israel and US.
However, the timing and other specifics were unclear as of yet.
New satellite images purport to show base built to house missiles "capable of striking Israel."
Russia, uniquely, is in a position to push the Iranian vector off its current trajectory and prevent an all-out war.
Russia must take a more proactive role. Instead of warning Israel, Moscow needs to stop Iranian belligerence before it’s too late.
For Israel, the next chapter in Syria’s war will be a nightmare scenario.
Some 20 Syrian air defense missiles were fired towards Israeli jets during missions over Syria.
"The Israeli enemy has resumed aggression on some military positions in the southern region and our air defenses have responded to them and thwarted the aggression," a Syrian military source said.
Iran is a key ally of the Syrian government in the seven-year civil war and it says it has no intention of withdrawing unless Syria requested it do so.
