Russian-US relations are in a deep-freeze as the Syria war is spilling across the borders to Lebanon and Iraq. NATO is laboring at opening a new front in Jordan and Iraq and has begun to overtly target Iran with terrorists, trained in Kosovo. While the war is bound to widen into a regional war with global consequences, the South African President Jacob Zuma declared, that South Africa and the BRICS will not spare any effort to implement the Geneva declaration.

Zuma, expressing regret over the current events in Syria, stressed the usefulness of the direct exchange of information between Syria and South Africa about the crisis. Dr. Shaaban briefed the South African President on the Syrian national dialog. Dr. Shaaban stressed the importance of the political program for national dialog which is making significant progress. (2 The progress of the Syrian national dialog has remained largely ignored by western mainstream media, and is being systematically sabotaged by the USA´s, Saudi Arabia´s, Qatar´s, the EU´s and others sponsorship of terrorist organizations.
The adviser to President Bashar al-Assad called on South Africa´s President Jacob Zuma to support the program at the upcoming BRICS summit, due to be held in South Africa on 26 March. She also briefed President Zuma on the regional and international dimensions of the crisis in Syria, stressing the repercussions for the region. Dr. Shaaban also met with the South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ebrahim Ebrahim. Both meetings were attended by Syria´s Ambassador to South Africa, Bassam Darwish.
The Statement by South African President Jacob Zuma, that South Africa and the BRICS support the implementation of the Geneva Declaration, has for the first time aligned the BRICS as an organization, behind the position of Russia and China, who have rejected any foreign military intervention in Syria, and who have demanded that the USA, Saudi Arabia, the European Union and its member states and other stop financing and arming the al Qaeda and Muslim brotherhood tied terrorist organizations, militia and mercenary corps in Syria. The Russian and Chinese demands have so far not only been neglected by the USA and its allies, but have been countered with increasing the flow of money, arms and other material and logistic support.
While the statements of South Africa´s President Jacob Zuma has elicited, that the world is increasingly divided into two blocks with regard to Syria and the Middle East, the war in Syria is spilling over into a regional war. The development of the Syria crisis into a regional war with global consequences has been predicted by analysts for more than a year, although no diplomatic efforts from the sides of Iran, Russia, China and others have been spared to prevent the disastrous development.
NATO backed insurgents have over the course of the last week intensified their artillery and infantry assaults across the Lebanese Syrian border, targeting Syrian troops and civilians. The Syrian government and military has repeatedly warned, that a continuation of the attacks will force the Syrian military to target terrorists and mercenary positions in Lebanon. Lebanon´s President has ordered he Lebanese military to increase its presence along the border to prevent further cross border attacks and the smuggling of arms and troops into Syria. According to some reports, Lebanon´s Hezbollah is readying its troops to also secure the border and to combat the NATO and allied backed troops which have been massing in the border region.
Also Iraq is increasingly being drawn into the conflict. Cross-border attacks have repeatedly targeted Syrian troops in Iraq. Several border checkpoints between Syria and Iraq have repeatedly been attacked by insurgents to facilitate the smuggling of weapons from Saudi Arabia. Over the course of the last month, Iraq has been repeatedly targeted by Saudi-backed terrorists, resulting among other, in the assassination of a high-ranking member of Iraq´s military intelligence service, Brigadier General Awni Ali . (3 On Friday, millions of Iraqi citizens went to the streets to protest against the resurgence of sectarian violence which is currently being manufactured in the country by Saudi-Arabia. As a response to the public mass protests against sectarianism and violence, terrorists exploded two bombs in Baghdad today.
Security analysts speculate, that the recent increase in terrorist attacks in Iraq is tied to NATO support to the MKO. The MKO, which has been fighting against the Iranian government for three decades and killed an estimated 17,000 Iranian, has been removed from the terror lists of the European Union, after the former US secretary of State Hillary Clinton removed it from the US terror list in 2012. 212 MKO members have in 2012 received asylum in the NATO occupied Serbian Kosovo, where it, in spite of declarations, that it renounces violence, has taken part in the training of insurgents with the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA/UCK). The KLA/UCK is training terrorists, recruited through Saudi-Arabian charities and saudi-backed Al-Qaeda-tied organizations from Asia, the Middle East and Africa, where after they are deployed in battle groups. The MKO also continued to advocate publicly for the violent overthrow of the Iranian government. An Iranian analyst, advising nsnbc, expects that the MKO will cooperate with NATO intelligence to destabilize Iran at the next coming elections, and that it until than is building forces and takes part in the Syria and Iraq campaigns.

Kosovo has, since the onset of the Arab Spring, functioned as a European forward base, where NATO mercenaries recruited from Asia, the Middle East and Africa, have been trained and then deployed to respectively Libya and Syria. According to reliable sources, the Kosovo Liberation Army is training the mercenaries in cooperation with US Special Forces which are usually stationed in Frankfurt Germany.
According to reports nsnbc received from a Palestinian with ties to a Palestinian factions intelligence service, Israel is increasing the deployment of mercenaries in the Israeli occupied Syrian Golan. Increased troop movements have also been reported from the Syrian – Jordanian border region, the Palestinian informant explained.
A widening of the conflict to Iraq, Lebanon and Iran has been expected by analysts for over a year. One of the main causes of the conflict is the PARS gas-pipeline from Iran, via Iraq and Syria to the Eastern Mediterranean coast and a lack of convergence in the energy security requirements of the EU, USA, Russia, Iran, Israel, Qatar and other stake-holders as explained in “The Dynamics of the Crisis in Syria; Conflict versus Conflict Resolution”.
After the recent weeks increased Russian assertiveness and repeated statements, that a foreign military intervention and arming the insurgents is unacceptable, the recent emergency meeting of the Russian Security Council, with violence spilling over the borders to Lebanon, Iraq and the Golan, and with a de-facto declaration of war against Iran, by proclaiming that NATO will support the MKO terrorists against Iran, with the increased resurgence of Saudi-manufactured “sectarian violence” in Iraq, and with the international community increasingly being polarized in two block which are divided by an atmosphere of diplomatic deep freeze, it is likely that the war in Syria will develop into a regional war within months.
