Human Rights Watch says Iran has sent thousands of Afghan refugees to fight in Syria, including children as young as 14. We speak to journalist and author Emran Feroz.
Iran Accused of Using Afghan Child Soldiers in Syria
I was pleased to see that in the comments section under this YouTube video no one was falling for this propaganda, the public is getting savvy. It's sad about The Real News Network, though, they are usually quite good but I have seen this sort of thing turn up before with them.

This person is reporting hearsay. No evidence whatsoever. Sounds similar to the Kuwaiti assertion that Iraqi soldiers were killing babies in a Kuwaiti hospital. This person is probably lying. Purpose? Propaganda against Iran. By who? Saudi Arabia. Why is he even on this station?

Agreed and between US, Saudi and Israel they are always looking for something to blame Iran for.

Nice catch, Aaron. The story stinks. This bird gave it away when he started damning the Assad regime, when the whole mess is due to Syria's being attacked from without. Very much has the ring of a planted story for sure.
Sounds like more fake news, to me.

Wait a second. So this guy is saying that Iran supporting Assad is bad?... =s
So he wants Assad to fall and ISIS to take over? or the moderate head choppers I guess, depending on who is labeling them?..

Thanks for giving this walking, breathing, piece of propaganda.. ..Glad no one commenting believes this Israeli pensioner. Let's remember his face and remind him of how Isreal made child soldiers through giving and promoting the Rowandan war.

over all this looks very shady the reporter wasn't prepared and offered no evidence and just talked about Syria i dont buy it
And for the love of god there is no point for using child soldiers
iran has louds and louds of trained men in the region whom fight for their home region without any cost(for iran). using claimed child soldiers would be more expensive and at same time ineffective
This reminds me of chemical weapons situation in Syria

The refugees from afghanistan know that it is easier to get asylum in european countries by telling such stories. I am not claiming I know the truth, but I am skeptical

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD: 21 year old, 18 year old, 20, 17 and 18 are the 5 ages written on the epitaphs of the tombstones. Legal international Law age is 15. The whole human rights watch article is a fraud.

Few points:
1. this journalist immediately exposes his bias by calling Assad "dictator".
2. considering how refugees lie n masses to be allowed to Europe, including about their causes and even their age, couple of interviews can not constitute a story.
3. the guy claims that the Syrian government has killed the most people in the war, which is a zero-evidence propaganda claim by Western/Saudi/Qatari/Turkey-funded "humanitarian" organizations.
4. the guys claims Syrians are angry at Afghans, but they are actually thankful for the help against Daesh/ISIS/Al-Qaeda.

This is just propaganda ! The IRGC uses a vigorous vetting process that only those who are fit to fight are sent to Syria or Iraq ! There is No so called "Child" ever sent to fight ISIS and most people that I know who work in IRGC simply laugh at such fact !

There's more to this Joker's spool than meets the eye. He said "The Syrian people don't like Afghan children..?"😒
The Syrian people don't like the Western International Terrorism Network aka ISIS, AL QAEDA, Al NUSRA and whatever name they go by today. It's not President Assad that is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of deaths either.

The Intercept can be uneven, too. Some of their stuff is drivel.
It's like when I see it in the Guardian, it bothers me. It's Orwellian.
