Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

And the second ?

Lebanon, Iran. Lebanon is slowing evolving into civil war. Iran has its own internal issues with its own rebels.

Well, Libya gone rogue. We might see some impacts on Egypt, but will it turn to Islamic State as well? In order To Answer, time is required to see.

Also I expect an armed confrontation in Turkey's southeast. But thats not directly related to Islamists.

When I said Arabic invasion, I meant the expansion of an ideology, not necessarily expansion of Arabic tribes. But in smaller scales, I expect some ethnic or religious groups might be replaced by newcomers as well.

patience needed there . things are not only always negative.

seriously ?
you have Arabs expending their ideology to Turkey ? do you ?
what 's the matter with "arabs" ??? that's nothing to do with being arab . if you mean groups like al qaida salafis or whatever,
they don't represent arabs
don't put ethnic in something which is not ethnic

In order to comprehend this chaos, you need to look at the socio-economic background of these events. Which is not purely ideological, neither economic nor ethnic... It has a bit from everything.

For example Sunni Arabs living in Syria and Iraq were oppressed by their governments. You might have seen that disadvantaged Sunni Arabs ruled by Shia governors live amongst ethnically not homogenous environment. From within came ISIS, later turned to IS.

It is deep discussion, we can talk about historical perspective of Sunni-Shia divide, or Turk-Kurd or Arab-Kurd rivalry. But we cant come into a understanding and our precious time would be wasted.

Current economic model wouldnt solve issues of modern Arab society. The difference between rich and poor can be easily observed in the internet age by arabs themselves.

Poor need means to find a way out. This ignites the war. They take up their arms and revolt against authority, i.e. Shia government. On the other hand, In Bahrain, in Yemen against Sunni governments. Sometimes against other ethnic groups whom they see traitors or opposing force, i.e. Kurds, Christians...

Once clashes start, those with strong ideologies create hope among youth, often drawing youth into their ranks. With such supra-national idelogies like Islamism, groups draw youth from all over the world. From USA to Indonesia.

This chaos is Partially ethnic issue, partially ideological, and partially economic. There is no clear line.

what do you mean ?

Iran is now fighting in the battlefields of Syria and Iraq. No longer covertly. Iranian soldiers are getting killed there. Saying Iran is unaffected by the war is no longer possible. Of course rich are unaffected, same as Alawites in Tartus.

Meanwhile growing discontent in Iranian society is being observed easily. We both know Iranian society is not strongly binded, but divided in ethnic lines.

That'd be a long war, Iran will be hit as well. With it, more KIA.

Iraq gov rejected foreign ground forces, Iran says they will not send unless requested. Still no vid or pic of any Iranian forces in Iraq so no evidence.

Sure, Iran has its hands full of random links obtained from 'Iranian soldiers killed' Google search. So credible, it's just too much.

Don't you dare saying that. 1 billion Iranian soldiers are getting killed everyday and this is the truth.
No videos or photos are needed, everything written on internet is the truth. So stop denying everything.

I'm not sure why this is called Qasem in Iraq

It can be anywhere in the middle east, if you look at the horizon you see mountains as well ( if i'm not wrong ), Iraq is flat.

IRANIANS FIGHTING IN IRAQ

(Reuters) - In early July, hundreds of mourners gathered for the funeral of Kamal Shirkhani in Lavasan, a small town northeast of the Iranian capital Tehran. The crowd carried the coffin past posters which showed Shirkhani in the green uniform of the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and identified him as a colonel.

Shirkhani did not die in a battle inside Iran. He was killed nearly a hundred miles away from the Iranian border in a mortar attack by the militants of the Islamic State “while carrying out his mission to defend” a revered Shiite shrine in the city of Samarra, according to a report on Basij Press, a news site affiliated with the Basij militia which is overseen by the Revolutionary Guards.

Shirkhani’s death deep inside Iraq shows that Iran has committed boots on the ground to defend Iraqi territory.

At least two other members of the Guards have also been killed in Iraq since mid-June, a clear sign that Shi'ite power Iran has ramped up its military presence in Iraq to counter the threat of Sunni fighters from the Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that seized much of northern Iraq since June.

IRANIANS FIGHTING IN SYRIA

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander killed inside Syria was buried Thursday in Tehran.

Several high-ranking officials, including Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and Revolutionary Guards chief general Mohammad Ali Jafari, as well as senior clerics, attended the funeral for General Hassan Shateri.

Iranian officials said Shateri was shot and killed Tuesday while traveling from Damascus to Beirut. A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards blamed the attack on "mercenaries and supporters" of Israel.

Syria - Syrian army liberated 9 villages the northern countryside of Hama province​

Army units restored security and stability to the towns of al-Aweiniyah, al-Rawdah, al-Qaramtah, al-Husseiniyah and al-Huweir in the northern countryside of Hama province.
It is a tour for the news camera in most of the villages which army units assume its full control on it. We started on Mahardeh-Sqeilbiyeh road which was cut off for more than 6 months.
The army also cleared the nearby villages including al-Qaramtah, al-Husseiniyah and al-Huweir.
After that we went to al-Jdeideh village, it is populated by around 5000 people, which returned to normal life after the army took control of it.
We reached Kafr Houd village, which is known as a strategic village, it lies near a high 'Tal' which overlooks al-Treimsah.
We continued our advancement to al-Treimsah village which the army took control of it after a few hours of clashes.
At the end of our tour we reached Tal Malah, which witnessed heavy clashes.

Reuters got it from Basij Press also known as akhoond police, ask @Abii the akhoond specialist, never trust Basij press.

Shirkhani’s death deep inside Iraq shows that Iran has committed boots on the ground to defend Iraqi territory.

Or he traveled on his own motivated by religion and joined a Shi'a militia, very likely, that doesn't show the Iranian government has committed boots in a foreign state.

Yes there has been a video of some IRGC commander and a few other Iranians driving a SUV, in another incident 1 other Iranian was captured and put on video, some engineers working on a power plant. I don't remember any others shown on vid.

Now this number is very little, there are foreigners being captured in Iraq and Syria often, all are motivated by religion but not bound to government, the same is the case with the little number of Iranians fighting overseas.
