Russian president Vladimir Putin said Thursday, after meeting Syria’s Bashar Assad at Sochi, that the situation in Syria is now favourable for resuming a fully-fledged process of a political settlement in Syria.
Assad was quoted by the Kremlin spokesman as agreeing that after the military success in fighting terrorists, the door is open for the political process, and he had decided to send a delegation to the UN “to discuss reforming the country’s constitution.”
The Syrian ruler commented that some countries were not interested in stability in Syria.
He named no names but was evidently referring to the US and Israel.
Russian Heavy Golan-1000 Rocket Launchers for Assad, Kalibr Cruise Missiles Offshore…...

Light was shed this week on Russia’s mysterious intentions after its puzzling non-interference in the Israeli-Iranian clashes in Syria.
President Vladimir Putin informed the Russian high command meeting in Sochi of two decisions: “Our ships carrying Kalbr cruise missiles will bepermanently deployed in the Mediterranean Sea,” he reported.
They will take up position opposite the shores of Syria, Lebanon andIsrael.
Reliable military sources take this step to mean that the Russian army command believes the military confrontation between Israel and Iran in Syria is not over and more clashes are still to come.
It was also revealed by military sources in Moscow that the Assad regime’s 4th Armoured Division had received from Russia heavy rocket launchers deliberately dubbed Golan-1000, of 500mm calibre, which can deliver three rockets loaded with 500kg of high-explosive fragmentation ammunition.
They have a range of up to 6km and are powerful enough to knock over IDF fortifications on the Golan.
Those fortified bases remained unscathed by the Iranian Al Qods 20-missile barrage on May 9.
Intelligence sources report that to keep the situation under control and preclude misunderstandings, Putin suggested to Netanyahu at their last meeting in Moscow on May 9, that they install a hot line between the Kremlin and the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem.
This would be over and above the two direct emergency lines linking Russia’s Khmeimim air base in Syria with the IDF high command in Tel Aviv and the Russian naval command in Tartous with the Israel Navy’s headquarters in Haifa.
According to our sources, Netanyahu’s direct line to the White House has already been joined by a functioning emergency line to Moscow.
So what is behind Putin’s manoeuvres in Syria between Iran, Israel and the Assad regime?
The following article unravels this conundrum as well as shedding light on the, pivotal military shifts in motion on the Middle East landscape.
Iran Gears up for Payback War on US and Israel - with Gaza Turmoil….
18 May 2018
18 May 2018
Iran tossed the first sparks of its regional payback war against the US and Israel onto the inflammable Gaza Strip.
Exceptional Palestinian turbulence there was timed for Monday, May 14, to unnerve the large White House and Republican congressional contingent attending the inauguration of the first US embassy in Jerusalem.
In the first stage, Tehran will pit itself and allies in a clash of arms against the US and Israel, later spreading havoc across the region to the Gulf states of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Informed watchers in Washington, Jerusalem, Cairo or Riyadh see the eight weeks of Hamas violence on the Gaza-Israeli border as the opening shot of a drawn-out war of attrition instigated by Iran to drain substantial IDF strength away from its northern fronts.
Israel is believed short of patience for enduring a dragging conflict. It is likely that quite suddenly this Iranian tactic could backfire and a major war erupt in which many of the Biblical prophecies regarding the awful fate of Israel's surrounding enemy nations could be fulfilled?
Therefore, its troops could be goaded to snap next week and resort to extreme measures for stopping an inflamed Palestinian horde from breaking through the border fence and overrunning an Israel civilian location or army position.
Those measures include orders to shoot to kill and the deployment of special operations units, tanks, fighter jets and drones, which has already generated the high Palestinian death toll of 60 dead and more than 2,000 injured.
That is how it looked from the outside. The diplomatic and media backlash hurt, though.
Israel feels fully justified in defending its borders from a raging mob of hostile Arab Palestinians, bent on “liberating” swathes of territory for terrorists to come in and attack civilians and soldiers.
In the event, so far this week, none of the rioters made it across.
But it is realised that Monday’s deadly confrontation passed a point of no return on the road to war.
Hamas can’t afford to step back without losing its grip on rule in the Gaza Strip.
Having failed to wield a civilian mass as a blunderbuss, the terrorist group must move on to its next step – very likely a reversion to classical terror by means of small squads of infiltrators and/or rocket fire – this time aimed at Israel’s heartland.
Two small armed squads almost made it into Israel from Gaza this week under cover of the riots.
They were liquidated by the IDF special forces airborne by helicopter along the border, who caught them in time.
But it would take only one such team of terrorists to make it across andsow havoc.
Hamas holds another option in reserve, sending its 20,000-strong armed wing - Ezz e-din Al-Qassam [logo above] – into battle supported by rocket fire.
The decision to activate these measures must come from outside the Hamas regime in Gaza.
It will be taken by Al Qods chief General Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Middle East forces, and Hassan Nasrallah, [pictured below] head of Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hizballah.
Hamas will do as it is told because it depends on these men for political and financial support.
Its other “champions” - Turkey and Qatar - are good for verbal support but not much else in the way of military or financial aid.
There were moments this week when, faced with an immovable IDF wall around the Gaza Strip, that Hamas contemplated sending rockets flying into Israel once again, but was held back by Tehran and Beirut.
In the meantime, the Gaza terrorists are turning cross-border machine gun fire on Israeli targets, using a weapon outside the range of Israel’s anti-rocket Iron Domes.
Reliable sources note that a speech delivered by Nassrallah this week was a pointer to Tehran’s future intentions.
He said that Israel would get its just desserts - not by missile fire on the Golan this time, but on targets deep inside the country.
Four entities posses this capability: Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas.
According to new intelligence reaching Israel, Iranian military teams or associates are on standby in Syria for orders to start shooting Fatah 313 and Fajr 5 surface rockets into Israel.
Iran’s war strategy is closely tied in with its hard bargaining with the three European powers France, Britain and Germany for salvaging the 2015 nuclear accord.
Tehran has slapped down ransom for its consent to negotiate a new deal, tripartite guarantees to pay Iran damages for the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister Abbas Aragchi spelled this out in a speech to the Majlis on May 14: “The Europeans have between 45 and 60 days to give the necessary guarantees to safeguard Iranian interests and compensate for the damages caused by the US pull-out [from the nuclear deal],” he stated.
Iran’s tactic has pricked French President Emmanuel Macron’s balloon.
He claimed he could persuade the US president that a renegotiated deal was in hand for bringing the US back on board, although he knew as well as Aragchi that none of the Europeans could meet Iran’s demand.
On Tuesday, May 15, the Trump administration showed utter contempt for the fruitless European manoeuvres by clamping down a new round of sanctions.
This round targeted the governor of Iran’s central bank, Valilollah Seif, and the assistant director of the bank’s international department Ali Tarzali, accusing them of “providing support for terrorist activities.”
They were listed as “specially designated global terrorists” for allegedly helping the Revolutionary Guard Corps/Quds Force support Hizbollah.
Ali Tarzali was also deemed to have helped funnel millions of Quds Force dollars to the terror organisation.
Tehran is still trying to play for time until the ayatollahs come up with a plan for punishing America, our sources report.
When they are ready, expect the rockets and missiles to start flying in Iran’s and its proxies’ war on Israel.
