The two former close allies have
also ceased military cooperation, effectively ending a warm relationship that
saw Tehran
provide weapons, technical know-how and military training to Hamas fighters.
The rupture has been caused by
Hamas's refusal to toe the Iranian line by supporting President Bashar
al-Assad, whose Alawite regime is religiously loosely related to the Shia Islam
practiced by Iran 's
ruling theocracy.
This is not lose (temporally financially but there are can
be easily replacement). In terms Palestinian distant from Iran , backing Syrian
uprising is potential gain will be a huge, politically and financially. Politically visionary savvy movement. No political
body will be successful backing a tyrant who committed genocide and destroys
whole statehood.
