Saudi Arabia confirms that it will deploy troops to Syria

[Madali]

Are they sending troops or just advisors? There are more advisors in Syria than fighters, that's why nothing is getting done.

I don't think that they'll "deploy" troops, like in Yemen. It would be more like a terrorism support project; they'll increase their aids to the terrorists (FSA, Jaish ul fath) and maybe conducting air strikes. Saudis are intervening there with the pretext of "war on ISIS" but with the goal of overthrowing the Syrian government and establishing a puppet gov't; they won't fight ISIS and can't fight the government directly, so they'll mostly focus on training, commanding and supporting the so called 'moderate rebels'.

Really? You think that ISIS is a threat to Saudi Arabia? While it has thousands of Saudi Arabian forces? While it is fighting all of those who Saudis consider as enemy (Iran, Hezbollah, SAR, Hashed Shaabi)? while it is spreading the Wahhabi school ideology? While it is providing almost all of Saudi interests in the region? While it is neutralising all of revolutionary movements and provide the safety of the Saudi reign?
Honestly, I don't think that the disadvantages of ISIS for the Zionist regime, KSA and USA is even 1% of its benefits for them.

Pakistan decided not to take sides in this conflict infact our deplomats are trying to bring normalcy in ties between both hostile sectarian countries.
Why there isn't effective progressive community in Iran and Saudi Arab, a community thinking intelligently, which could comprehend that statecraft is something broader than religious or sectarian beliefs. Even people with different religion can coexist in this world why can't shia sunni in Middle East?

You have wrong point of view copied from Saudi/Western media.
Accusing Iran of sectarianism is a big conspiracy handled by the US since 3 decades ago. We have thousands of Sunni and non-Muslim people who live in Iran like Shia Muslims without any problem and they have even several representatives in the parliament who write our laws, while they're less than 4% of our population. The Shia population of KSA is estimated around 10-30%; I want you to judge fairly, how is their situations?
Iran is accused of racism while it has tens of different race itself and is supporting Arabs in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, …
And is accused of sectarianism while it is supporting the Sunni-Salafi Resistance of Palestine, Sunni Iraqi Kurds, Afghan Sunni mujahideen, syrian and Iraqi army…
Give me just one example of Iranian officials talking about sects and against Sunnis. And I can give you tens of examples of official "unbeliever" consideration of Shiites by Wahhabi heads.
Our problem with KSA is only and only one things: the wrong actions that Arab kingdoms commit in order to save their familiy on rule. We don't care about race and sect; Sunni, Shia, Christian and Jewish are respected by Iran; what we hate in the Saudi regime, is their support to terrorism and their role in providing US interests in the region.

It is good news if Iran is progressive and policy makers are thinking beyond sectarian lens. But there are not enough facts in front of me to believe so. What is the intrest of iran to protect Asad regime?
If majority people in Syria don't like Asad regime is there any method available to them to elect new leader?

As far as saudi regime is concerned they are supporting wahabi proxies all over the world. They are sponsor of one school of thought and responsible for terrorism in many countries.

The issue of Assad for Iran is kinda supporting the 'best' out of 'bads'. If we don't support Assad, what would happen? A bloodiest war will continue among other groups or a US/KSA puppet government will get the power who will slaughter the millions of people who are already supporting the government.
Dude it's 5 years that Iran is saying that the next government of Syria should be chosen by the Syrian people by elections but the West and Saudis were just constantly repeating "Assad must go". Now the West accepted the solution of Iran, after 5 years of war! But Saudis still don't accept and continue to increase the tensions.

Get the bigger picture, Assad is an excuse ... the point is tearing the ME off to small countries ... and on protecting Assad , how do you know that majority of Syrian seek removal of Assad? that's why we've called out for a fair and free election that would include all Syrian parties in it to shape their own future and we've insisted on it ( a diplomatic and democratic approach) since the beginning of the conflict and the only reason that it's not happened yet is some regional countries that think they could decide on behalf of Syrian people .. those who have never had an election in their own countries ...

Question is whether Saudi Arabia will be able to fight there? They will be up against battle hardened Syrian Army and militias supporting it.

 

[Basel]

So will it give Iran the right to deploy troops in yemen to fight "Al Qaeda" as saudi arabia has given itself the right to enter syria to fight "ISIS" ?

But I think sending forces to syria will prove to be a blunder and it can also cause even a bigger war between saudi arabia and iran. Pakistan should keep its hands off of that arab coalition.

If syrian rebels are mujahideen then yemeni houthis are also mujahideen by that same logic. Saudia calls houthis as terrorists and iran calls syrian rebels as terrorists. I don't see a difference. Both should stop meddling in each others backyards.

100% agreed with the bold line.

If there was such a conspiracy or plan, Iran, undoubtedly, has always been the perfect tool to get it through. What has happened in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Yemen is completely blamed on Iran by everybody. Next time, before you think about accusing anybody of causing the catastrophe in the ME, just look in the mirror and will know who is the culprit.

Iran and KSA both are headache for Pakistan because of rivalry between them, due to which Pakistan facing proxy war in its borders. Pakistan have arrested terrorists who have accepted that they were working for Iranian agency to destabilize Pakistan.

Nice joke! Iran hasn't rivalry with morons.
I don't know if what you said is based on your officials statements or come out of yourself; but I should remind you that terrorists who attack our forces and conduct suicide attacks in Sistan&Balochestan, come from your territory. they publish photos of their training camps that make me think your government left them free. Those who you call "terrorists" who wanna "destabilise" Pakistan are probably Pakistanis who fight against Saudi influence in Pakistan; like Sheikh Zakzaki in Nigeria.

I have just posted what is reality, KSA & Iran have rivalry and whole world knows that. Now regarding terrorists working for Iranian agency in Pakistan, check Pakistani news channels because its official news. Pakistanis are shocked how deep Iran is working against Pakistan serving Indian agenda. It helps Saudi sympathisers which put Pakistan in awkward situation.

Iran isn't interested in participating in tensions with Muslim countries but some Muslim countries are really interested in it! It's 3 years that our new government is trying to decrease the tensions with Saudis but the new Saudi government does anything possible to increase it.
Pakistan is known as "the most pro-Iran nation in the world"; there's some problems between us like on the issue of Pakistan taliban support and terrorism hosting, but they aren't really big; the only thing that increases the friendship between Iran and Pakistan, is the Saudi money…

Infact it is not KSA vs IRAN. the Issue is USA vs IRAN.

"Saudi Arabia is prepared to contribute ground troops to the fight in Syria, but only as part of a U.S.-led coalition." he said.
