I was afraid this would happen if I started hanging out at FARS. I told myself, 'Remember it's the Iranians. Just look for Syrian war news and don't pay attention to anything else.'
(6:20am update: By the way, FARS is brimming with Syrian war news today; too many reports for me to post.)
I have no idea if there's any truth to this FARS report but I do know from reports this year from Western mainstream sources that the Saudis are acting act more and more. If I have any of those reports saved I'll find them and update this post with it. [See update] But the gist is that they've become quite the war dogs and it seems challenging anyone to stop them.
