Iranian troops flee Syria amid conflict

Iran has started evacuating military commanders and other officials from Syria, The New York Times reported Friday, in a sign of Tehran’s wavering confidence in the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as disparate rebel forces eat away at his territory in the country’s north, east and south. Russia and the United States also called on their citizens to leave Syria immediately amid the resurgent Syrian civil war, which on Friday saw rebels capture the southern Daraa province bordering Jordan. Joe Truzman with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, joined LiveNOW from FOX to discuss.
