WSJ: Iran recruiting Afghan refugees to fight in Syria
The
Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Iran has been recruiting thousands of Afghan refugees to fight against rebel forces in Syria by offering them $500 a month and Iranian residency (
WSJ). According to the report, details of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) recruitment efforts were posted to a refugee-focused blog earlier this week; both the IRGC and the office of Grand Ayatollah Mohaghegh Kabuli, an Afghan religious leader in Qom, confirmed the details. Kabuli's office added that many young Afghan men have written to him, asking whether or not fighting in Syria is religiously sanctioned. His response? Only if they were defending Shiite shrines.
Western officials told the
Journal that Iran is playing on the region's sectarian divides -- pitting Afghanistan's mostly Shiite refugee population against the predominantly Sunni rebels; the Syrian regime is dominated by minority Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
According to Matthew Spence, a senior defense official, "One of the most concerning aspects of the Syrian conflict from a U.S. security perspective is that it is attracting foreign fighters from across the region and around the world." He added that: "We assess that there are now significantly more foreign fighters in Syria than there were foreign fighters in Iraq at the height of the Iraq war."
