A United Nations official in Lebanon announced that Iran is about to move to Syria dozens of medium-range missiles Shabab-3 and Scud B and C. The purpose is creating a missile system to be used in case of attacks to nuclear installations, and available in any case for military actions.

The fact that Syria will host Iranian missiles is due to the mutual defence agreement signed in 2005 by Tehran and Damascus. Such agreement was implemented last month on decision of the Iranian Supreme Council chaired by Akbar Hasshemi Rafsanjani.

Also, a team of engineers has been sent to Syria to train the local army for the missile system's use. In addiction, it seems that Iran has made a similar agreement with Sudan.

Such news, along with the fact that Russia sold Syria some high-tech combat airplanes, have created a considerable apprehension for many Countries, especially Israel.
