Hossein Biki, deputy chair of the Security Commission in Iran’s parliament, made startling and expansionist remarks recently.
“In the status quo we are in youths and even teenagers are more than eager to take part in the fronts of Syria and Iraq,” he said.
“At least more than one million youths are in line to be dispatched,” he said on Saturday, December 10th, in an interview with the state-run Mizan news agency, known to be linked to the regime’s judiciary branch.
“There are a significant number of youths and even teenagers amongst the massive wave of volunteers for Syria and Iraq,” this Iranian MP added.
“The Islamic republic has two missions in Syria and Iraq: advisory activities and training,” he added in contradictory remarks.
