Iran Officially Joins Syrian Civil War

Iran is officially and openly taking part in the Syrian Civil War.

The Iranian government has sent four thousand members of the Revolutionary Guard to support President Assad, in Syria.

They say they are fully committed to preserving the Assad regime, and that the four thousand is but the first contingent of troops.

The decision was apparently made before the Iranian presidential elections took place.

It also appears that the decision was made within hours of US President Obama's decision to send weapons to the Syrian rebels.

All this just goes to show that the war continues to spread, further than just in Syria.

33 Killed in Iraq Bombings

Thirty-three people were killed and over one hundred injured in a series of bombings in Iraq, on Sunday.

Most of the attacks were aimed at Shiite neighborhoods, while some were aimed at security forces.

At least ten bombings occurred as well as a shooting.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but their targets suggest that they were the work of Al Qaeda or other Sunni groups connected to them.
