JERUSALEM [MENL] -- Iran and its proxy Hizbullah have been planning to take
over Syria, a report said.
The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs said Iran and Hizbullah held a
secret summit in April 2013 to draft strategy for Syria. In a report, the
center said Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, in his first trip
outside Lebanon since 2010, met Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei as
well as military commanders to review a plan for a 150,000-man force to
maintain control over Syria should President Bashar Assad fall.
