Iran

One of the five IRGC members arrested by US forces in Irbil, Iraq is wanted by Austria for killing 3 Kurds in Vienna in 1989. Ali Larijani, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator and head of security council, is traveling to Syria for talks. Russia sold Iran modern, short-range TOR-M1 anti-aircraft systems, and plans on selling more military hardware.
