    The TOWs in the insurgent videos are unlikely to have been supplied to pro-government forces by Iran and then captured by the insurgents. They are in good condition, so almost certainly do not date back to the mid-1980s when thousands of US TOWs were illegally transferred to Iran, and have the standard day sight/tracker, so cannot be the Iranian-made Toophan version, which has a different sight.

    The United States should have been informed about the delivery of TOWs to Syrian insurgents as recipients of its weaponry have to notify it about any subsequent transfers to third parties.

     

    US officials have recently indicated that the existing CIA-led programme of targeted military assistance to the moderate opposition will be expanded. This will supposedly involve more training and non-lethal assistance instead of directly supplying insurgents with weapons.

     

    The state sponsor behind the delivery of the TOWs is backing a group that appears to be part of a splinter faction of the Syrian Military Council (SMC), which was set up to channel foreign support to the comparatively moderate insurgents and co-ordinate their activities.

    Most likely, the TOWs were and still are supplied to the rebels from Saudi Arabia. A transfer which had to be approved by the Obama administration.

    Various commentators and analysts have pointed to a handful of western or western-aligned states as being responsible for the provision of these systems to anti-government fighters, but little concrete evidence has been offered. Agence France-Presse reported that according a knowledgeable source, “moderate, well-organised fighters from the Hazm movement have for the first time received more than 20 TOW anti-tank missiles from a Western source” and that “more have been promised should it be proven that the missiles are being used in an effective way”. Whilst it certainly seems likely that these ATGWs are being supplied by an outside state – possibly a recipient of US foreign military aid or a purchaser of surplus US weapons – other possible avenues of ingress exist, and we would need more evidence to state such as fact.

    Over the past few weeks, media reports have stressed that US officials have begun a "pilot program" of providing small quantities of advanced weapons, including TOW missiles, to vetted "moderate" groups, and specifically the Harakat Hazm, which fights in a newly formed coalition called the Southern Front.

    Three days ago, the Daily Beast noted that antitank weapons likely supplied by the US were being used by rebel forces in recent fighting in Deraa, and cited an NPR report saying the CIA was planning on sending more such weapons soon, in a ramped-up covert effort to force the Assad regime to agree to a political transition.

     

     

    et il faut savoir que ces missiles ont été en service au USA avant d'avoir été transférer vers un pays tiers. Ils auraient été livré  via la Turquie par camion.

    The Syrian government lashed back Friday at an Obama administration statement that the U.S. was “horrified” at accounts of large-scale civilian casualties during reported Syrian air raids this week on territory controlled by the radical Islamic State group.

    Le gouvernement US est horrifier par les frappes de l'Armée de l'air syrienne, c’est l’hôpital qui se moque de la charité.
