18 June 2013

"The use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime is a horrible escalation of violence that only highlights the latest stage in the "heating up" of a long-running, low-intensity “cold war” between Shia and Sunni Islam that is currently threatening to tear the Middle East apart. Both contenders employ proxies in an intriguing case-study of modern, high-end unconventional warfare. Once the ongoing Syrian Civil War is understood through the prism of this greater conflict, a better understanding of the deeper issues at play exposes previously obscure solutions." -- Syrian Civil War in the Context of Sunni-Shia Cold War: Douglas Livermore.

Syria: Iran - Hezbollah - Al Qaeda Counterinsurgency Crisis Spiral
Transfer of Chemical and Biological weapons to transnational terrorist groups, moves the defense and Interpol counterterrorism community into crisis response.

Current Discussions

Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has confirmed for the first time that members of the powerful Lebanese Shia organisation are helping President Bashar al-Assad fight the uprising against his rule – and will stand by him. -- Hezbollah is helping Assad fight Syria uprising, says Hassan Nasrallah: UK Guardian, 30 April 2013.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is first and foremost concerned with regime preservation, and its strategic calculus and behavior are deeply influenced by this concern. It is therefore essential that Iran’s global terror campaign is considered within this context. Iran’s global force projection network, to include the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Quds Force, Lebanese Hezbollah, and Iran’s proxies in Iraq and Gaza, is primarily a deterrence and retaliatory force, nested within a strategy designed to protect the regime from external threats. Includes: Statement before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade hearing on “Hezbollah’s Strategic Shift: A Global Terrorist Threat." -- Testimony: Iran’s Global Force Projection Network: IRGC Quds Force and Lebanese Hezbollah: AEI, 20 March 2013.

Syria transitions into a counterinsurgency operation - "In Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce." --  Islamist Rebels Create Dilemma on Syria Policy: New York Times, 27 April 2013.

It is obvious that Syria has been allowed to spiral out of control, with an Iranian, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah WMD empowered military complex. Beyond containment of these insurgent factions throughout the region, we have an Interpol level chemical/biological weapons containment challenge associated with transfer of Syrian CBRNe weapons to transnational terrorist groups:
 In the Global War on Terrorism, the unique nature of insurgency warfare is still unfamiliar to a large cross-section of politicians, journalists, civil servants, public opinion makers and military personnel. Syria provides the world an unfortunate opportunity to watch a complex emergency with destabilization of a Failed State, in a prolonged conflict (23 months, costing 100,000 lives), with insurgency exploitation from day one. --The Anatomy of Counterinsurgency Warfare: HRI:H-II, 4 March 2013.
