Esmail Kosari, a member of the Commission for National Security and Foreign Policy in the Majlis (Iranian regime’s parliament) said that the Iranian regime’s “experience… has produced good results in Syria.”
He told state-run website Tasnim on April 11: “They (the Syrian people) wanted to finish the job last year in month of Ramazan (July 2012); however, they couldn’t and our managing experience was accepted by Syria’s Army and they also established Bassij forces for themselves.”
“In the past the military official had stressed on following the model of Basij for wars in the streets,” he added.
