Iran has not yet acknowledged the status of its military presence in the country, although it has played a role in policy-making in Syria's civil war. But before the start of the conflict, there were reports of the presence of hundreds of Iranians in the country to curb rebellion. According to Iranian media sources, in Syria, 18 members of the Revolutionary Guard were killed in Syria. But in view of the impact of government forces on four people killed and rebels in the past week, experts speculate that Iran is increasingly participating in this war.
President Bashar al-Assad's forces have operated several major military operations in order to influence the rebels recently with the help of Russian air strikes. The government forces were able to recapture significant amount of these operations. It is believed that Iran is also playing a direct role in this campaign.

Another sign of increasing Iran's involvement in the Syrian war- Major Top Army commander Major General Kashem Solaimani has been reported in the country. Recently, some of his pictures have been published in Syria. Since last year, Solaimani has been serving as the commander of the external affairs division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Quds Bahini. Earlier, he was in charge of the Iraqi government during the IS-war campaign, but he is currently living in Syria.
Brigadier General Hossain Hamedani was the senior most among the four top army officers killed in the Syrian civil war. Recently, after the announcement of a "revenge" of Hemeni's death by a few Iranian officials, the idea of increasing their position and strength in Syria is even stronger. The officials said that their most important contribution to protect Syrian President Assad was the formation of a paramilitary army called 'National Defense Force' (NDF) in the country. Mohammed Reza Nagavi, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces' Bassi, said that the dream of the present late General Hamedane was to raise funds for the NDF. Moreover, he had prepared a militia group of 1.35 million members for Syria's needs.
By 2014, Iran has formed the NDF forces of 128 battalions with military training of 70,000 Syrians. In May of that year, General Hamedani confirmed the authenticity. According to the latest information from Mohammed Ali Jafari, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, one hundred thousand of NDF's current warrior
Can not say exactly how many Iranians are currently in Syria to take part in the Syrian war. However, the presence of the Iranian citizen's death in the war was assumed by their presence. In Iran, Iran's Iranian state media reported in June 2015 that at least 400 'volunteer fighters' were killed in the last four years. They are either Iranians, or Afghans who have taken refuge in Iran. Analysts think that by expressing the number of volunteer fighters, Iran may be trying to hide their military position. For the same reason, members of the Revolutionary Guard killed in Syria are being declared 'retired' or 'former'.
Despite the caution, some Iranian politicians have often been informed that they are concerned about Syria-related issues. Alauddin Borojardi, Chairman of the National Security and Vedic Policy Committee of the Iranian parliament, said in a press conference a few days ago that Iran is ready to send troops to Syria. If President Bashar al-Assad has requested, then Iran will start the operation only.
Experts believe that the failure of Assad's forces in the Syrian war and the rise of Islamic State (IS) forces in Iraq and Syria forced Iran to participate in this fight. Because Iran has a desire to build a Shi'plant supremacy in the Middle East with Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. It was almost lost in the rise of IS. In this region, the anti-Iran fears, diplomacy and financially more powerful by the nuclear deal with Western power has been strengthened. And so now Iran is focusing on strengthening its own forces.
