IRAN SYRIA SIGN DEFENCE AGREEMENT

Well in Ezekiel 38 we see Iran, syria in the 1ST WAVE of WW3 come against Israel lead by RUSSIA. And at sometime Syria is a heep of rubble now we know why because of this defence contract with IRAN. If the US attacks Iran they might attack Syria at the same time.

EZEKIEL 38:1-13
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal,(RUSSIA) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:(RUSSIA)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(SUDAN, AFRICAN COUNTRIES)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword,(ISRAEL) and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan,(S ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(AMERICA, CANADA, AUS ETC) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

ISAIAH 17:1
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Iran, Syria sign defense agreement by Farhad Pouladi Thu Jun 15, 9:13 AM ET

TEHRAN (AFP) - Defence ministers from close allies Iran and Syria have signed an agreement for military cooperation against what they called the "common threats" presented by Israel and the United States. In a joint press conference, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar and visiting Syrian counterpart Hassan Turkmani said their talks had been aimed at consolidating their defense efforts and strengthening support for one another.Our cooperation is based on a strategic pact and unity against common threats. We can have a common front against Israel's threats," Turkmani told reporters Thursday after two intensive rounds of talks with Najjar.Our cooperation with the Iranians against Israeli threats is nothing secret and we regularly consult about this with our friends,he said.

Before the press conference, Iran's defense ministry said the two sides stressed strengthening mutual ties and the necessity to preserve peace and stability in the region.The defense ministry statement also said they discussed ridding the region of weapons of mass destruction,in an apparent reference to the widely held belief that Israel possesses nuclear warheads.The United States has led opposition to Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran insists is aimed at civilian energy purposes but which Washington suspects is a cover for atomic weapons-making.

US President George W. Bush has advocated diplomacy to resolve the international row over Iran's aims but has also said all options are on the table if Iran refuses to halt sensitive uranium enrichment work.Washington has included Syria in its so-called axis of evil that also comprises Iran and North Korea, citing these nations as supporters of terrorism.Asked about US threats against Damascus and Tehran, both top brass brushed off the importance of such threats.This is nothing new, we will resist these threats, the Syrian defense minister said.However, Turkmani dismissed the possibility of hosting an Iranian military base on Syrian soil.

The language of a (foreign) military base in our country is alien to us. I want to say that it is not on the agenda, he added.The Iranian defense minister said: "US threats are a kind of psychological operation. It is not new. With unity among the region's nations, these threats will not prevail.Although the two refused to give specifics about the agreement for military cooperation, Najjar said Iran considers Syria's security its own security, and we consider our defense capabilities to be those of Syria.Najjar also shrugged off reports that Iran could pose a threat to the region.

Iran is ready to sign a non aggression pact with regional countries, he said.Our military warfare equipment is based on deterrent policies and strategy. Enemies should know about our capabilities and should not even think about an assault against us, he said in response to a question about the optimization process going on for the medium range Shahab-3 missile. Iran's Shahab-3 missiles have a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,280 miles), capable of hitting arch-enemy Israel and US bases across the Middle East. Najjar added that the Syrian side has purchased some Iranian military equipment, but did not elaborate on the purchased items and did not say whether the purchases were made as part of Thursday's agreement. Turkmani started an official visit to Tehran on Sunday.

During his trip, Turkmani has also met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Islamic republic's military chiefs and visited Iranian military factories in Isfahan and Tehran.
