Iran has been accused by the US administration of setting up pro-government militias in Syria

US defence secretary Leon Panetta said on Tuesday that Iran is giving the fighters training and weapons; "It is obvious that Iran has been playing a larger role in Syria in many ways".

In Panetta's words Iran's growing presence could only aggravate the situation on the ground. "Iran's Revolutionary Guards are trying to develop, trying to train a militia within Syria to be able to fight on behalf of the regime", Panetta added. US defence secretary also underlined that; "so we are seeing a growing presence by Iran and that is of deep concern to us."
