Battle of Influence in Syria: Russia Vs. Iran
Russia and Iran may have fought on the same side in Syria’s civil war, but that does not mean they see eye to eye. The two nations are struggling for superiority over the strategic Mediterranean state, and the fight recently broke out into the open.
According to Syrian news site Syria Call, nearly a dozen people were killed and about a dozen wounded in clashes between pro-Russian and pro-Iranian militia groups on April 14. Besides militants, women and children were also among the casualties.
The clashes, centered in Aleppo, involved the use of heavy weaponry and rockets that hit a civilian neighborhood and marketplace. |
