    Meanwhile, elements of the 8th IRGC Division are deployed in Damascus area - supposedly to advise the RGD in armour ops, but malicious gossip has it that they are there to prevent further in-fighting between various Iranian, Iraqi and Lebanese Shi'a contingents that are stationed there since earlier...
