   to do. If these tribes have taken the side of the terrorists there'll be   
   no Syria. There'll be nothing left to fight for Syria with.   
      
   5 years back they were saying, "We used everything we had in Syria to   
   destroy Assad, but ended up destroying everything in Syria except Assad."   
      
   As horrible as this is, at the end of this war, the way it is going   
   right now, even this statement will not apply anymore. Those tribes may   
   be thinking there'll be another government better than Assad's. What   
   they do not know is that they will become another Palestinian-like   
   nation, gradually perishing at the hands of Turkey and Israelis. What   
   fools.   
      
   5 full years of peace Syria had and they did nothing but in-fighting   
   of various tribes. Even Assad's wife has a different tribe from Assad's!   
   There's been serious infighting there as well.   
      
   Iran is obliged to help Syria because Assad's father (Hafez Assad)   
   indirectly helped Iran during Iran's war with Saddam. If it was not for   
   this reason, Iran would let these tribes get the consequences of what   
   they are.   
      
      
   - A strong 5.6 Richter earthquake shook Khuzestan area. I don't know   
   what it has done to oil wells. Some could lose productivity and some new   
   ones might pop out. It was 10 km deep. The most important oil industry   
   area in Khuzestan experienced 4.3 Richter quake, so it should not be   
   that destructive.   
      
   They're going all over that state trying to find damages. Drones and   
   everything. Nothing is mentioned yet other than some roads to villages   
   are cut and unusable.
