Syrian “friendly fire” kills scores of Iranian, Hizballah soldiers on way to Golan

Syrian “friendly fire” kills scores of Iranian, Hizballah soldiers on way to Golan:



If this article's analysis is correct, Israel needs to announce a red line, NOW, that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards will not be permitted to take the Syrian southern border region from Syrian rebels, and face Israel, nose to nose. Israel cannot afford to have either Iranian or Hezbollah forces on the Golan Heights border, and take control of intelligence gathering capabilities that could limit Israel's ability to act against Iran.



Israel must actively bolster the Syrian rebels on the Golan Heights immediately (the Israelis already take care of their wounded) and announce that they will not tolerate Iranian or Hezbollah control there. If this results in Israeli and Iranian forces coming into combat (more likely, it would result in Israeli air assault of Iranian/Hezbollah combined forces),  it could derail Obama's catastrophic policy of cutting a bad deal with the Iranians on nuclear weapons. If the Iranians do not back down on the Golan Heights and the Israelis and Iranians become effectively involved in a hot war, Obama's  nuclear deal will not happen, or if it does, it will be somewhat easier politically  for Israel to take unilateral action against Iranian nuclear capabilities in Iran, as an extension of the Golan Heights conflict.
