Iran Seeks To Expand Influence In Gaza

LONDON [MENL] -- Iran has been pressing to expand its presence in the Gaza
Strip.
Arab diplomatic sources said the Iranian leadership was urging the Hamas
government of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh to allow additional military
trainers into the Gaza Strip. They said Iran, particularly its Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps, wants to build a credible military force in the
Gaza Strip to confront Israel in any future regional war.
