It’s not like anyone didn’t see this coming; The Washington Times<\/a> reports that arms from the US are finding their way into the hands of Iranian-backed forces aligned with Syria’s President Assad, you know, the guy we’re trying to remove there;<\/p>\n

The Associated Press reported that analysts aren\u2019t sure if the weapons that have reached the pro-Assad fighters were stolen, captured or purchased on the black market, or if they filtered in somehow from Syria, Turkey, Iraq or Libya.<\/p>\n

But most are arms the militant fighters \u201cshouldn\u2019t really have their hands on,\u201d said Phillip Smyth, an analyst for Jihadology.net, a website tied to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, AP reported. He added: Iranians like to demonstrate \u201cthey have weapons and systems that are very close to the Americans.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
