FILE - In this Nov. 22, 2013 file photo, Iraqi and Lebanese Shiite fighters from a group called the Hussein Brigade use a helmet to draw sniper fire, during clashes with the Sunni-dominated Free Syrian Army, in the town of Hejeira, near Damascus, Syria. Thousands of Iranian-backed fighters in Syria’s desert central region are advancing east on three fronts, bringing Tehran closer to its goal of securing a corridor from its border through Iraq all the way to the Mediterranean that would give it unhindered land access to its allies in Syria and Lebanon for the first time.
