IRANIAN SUPPORTED TERRORIST GROUPS ARE INTENSELY PRESENT IN DEIRIZOR

Iranian and Iranian-backed foreign terrorist groups are known to have a strong presence in the districts of Elbukemal, Muhsan and al-Mayadin in eastern Deir ez-Zor.

The central and western province of Deir ez-Zor, with the help of groups backed by Iran and Russia, passed to Syrian state after the withdrawal of the terrorist organization ISIS in November 2017.

Iranian-backed foreign terror groups, which have become the regime’s ground power, have a more intense presence in Deir ez-Zor.

The Iranian, Iraqi, Lebanese, Afghan and Pakistani groups stationed in Deir ez-Zor, where the Sunni Arabs live, are commanded by members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Army. (AA)
