Russia, North Korea helping Iran manufacture missiles in Syria<\/span><\/h4>\n
Washington Free Beacon July 12, 2017:<\/span><\/pre>\n
Iran is said to be building new long-range ballistic missiles at a Syrian weapons factory identified by the United States as developing non-conventional weaponry, according to regional reports alleging that Russia and North Korea are aiding in the endeavor.<\/p>\n
The Syrian opposition news website Zamanalwsl.net recently published multiple reports and pictures of a weapons factory in Syria that it claims is under direct control of Iran.<\/p>\n
The reports appear to confirm other recent news articles indicating that Iran has begun manufacturing advanced missile technology in Syria with permission from embattled President Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n
The reports claim that Iran is constructing long-range ballistic missiles in a factory operating under the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, which the United States had identified as the key government agency behind the country’s contested non-conventional weapons work, including chemical weapons.<\/p>\n
Assad is reported to have visited the Iranian factory recently, where he met with Iranian and Syrian weapons experts, according to a translation<\/a> of the articles conducted by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.<\/p>\n
“The facility is producing long-range missiles as well as M600 ballistic missiles, which are a Syrian version of the Iranian Fateh 110 missile,” according to MEMRI’s readout of the report. “This facility has a branch in western Hama province for producing chemicals, and that that there is a Russian military\u00a0base in the region, where North Korean officers once served.”<\/p>\n

The facility is said to be shrouded in secrecy, despite evidence that agents from Russia, North Korea, and Iran are freely moving around the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
