bosnian army
bullet::::- iran, a predominantly shia country, was one of the first muslim countries to provide support for the bosnian muslims (bosniaks, who are mainly sunni muslim) in the war. the islamic revolutionary guard corps (irgc) sent more than five (5,000 to 14,000 tons from may 1994 to january 1996 alone) thousand tonnes of arms to the bosnian muslims. irgc also supplied trainers and advisers for the bosnian military and intelligence service. several dozen iranian intelligence experts joined the bosnian muslim intelligence agency. the iranian ministry of intelligence-supported mujahideen units trained selected bosnian army units. the hezbollah (lebanese shia), supported by iran, also sent fighters to the war. in 1992, iran with the help of turkey smuggled arms to the bosnian muslims. reports of "hundreds of tons of weapons" shipped from iran over a period of months appeared in the media in early 1995. iranian arms were shipped through croatia. robert baer, a cia agent stationed in sarajevo during the war, later claimed that "in sarajevo, the bosnian muslim government is a client of the iranians . . . if it's a choice between the cia and the iranians, they'll take the iranians any day." by the war's end, public opinion polls showed some 86% of the bosnian muslim population expressed a positive attitude toward iran. according to the scholar cees wiebes, during the war “turkey and saudi arabia were very willing to deliver weapons and to lure alija izetbegović away from iran, but the orientation of the bosnian government was far more towards iran.”
