significant offensive into Syrias northwestern Aleppo, making use of the Syrian armys apparent absence of resistance and marking a new age
of instability and uncertainty in the war-torn country
The vast attacks by Mohammad al-Jolanis Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), signed up with by factions with similarly uncomfortable extremist roots,
ultimately caused the fall of President Bashar al-Assads federal government on Sunday.Before releasing his spectacular offensive, Mohammad
al-Jolani was understood in the West as the head of a UN-designated terrorist organization and the target of a $10 million United States
However the unanticipated success of his attacks completely turned the tides
Western media now presents him as an altered male who preaches pluralism and tolerance and wants absolutely nothing but peace for the Syrian
The quick shift in Western media stories about al-Jolani, combined with evidence of HTS and allied factions utilizing innovative Turkish and
American weaponry to take cities abandoned by the Syrian army, suggests a level of pre-planning and coordination between the West and the
brand-new de facto rulers of Syria.An ex-official of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force revealed that Iran alerted Assad 2
months prior to the recent insurgency, letting the President know that the United States and Turkey were brewing something
It stays unclear whether Assad, now living in Russia after receiving asylum, ignored cautions of the upcoming attack or lacked the
capability to prepare his army for battle.Nonetheless, Syria now deals with a brand-new and uncertain truth
While the diverse factions allied with al-Jolani over the past twelve days shared the common goal of eliminating Assad from power, their
ability to establish the institutional government al-Jolani informed CNN he wishes to develop remains in doubt, provided their disparate
ideologies and even nationalities.Al-Jolanis current discuss IranForeign policy will be a crucial element of any future federal government
formed by the groups that have actually now taken control of Syria.While their leader al-Jolani has actually revealed a conciliatory
position towards the West, his rhetoric relating to Iran stays inflammatory and provocative, even as he attempts to cultivate a more
The reality that he has regreted Iran on cam without making any comments about Israels brand-new attack into Syria, is another sign of his
deep ties with Western states.In his message to the rebels after the announcement of Assads collapse, al-Jolani singled out Iran: This
brand-new accomplishment, my bros, marks a new chapter in the history of the region, a history stuffed with threats (that left) Syria as a
play area for Iranian ambitions.Before that, he called on Iran on multiple occasions to stop its support for Assad.Iran utilized military
advisors in Syria for over a years at the request of the Syrian government
Those advisors led the fight against Daesh terrorists in both Syria and Iraq throughout the 2010s, terrorists understood for internationally
notorious atrocities, including beheadings, abuse, rape, and sex trafficking.Al-Jolani may especially harbor animosity towards Iran, rather
than the occupier of his supposed birthplace, the Golan Heights, due to his links to Daesh or the support he has gotten from the West
Nevertheless, if he prospers in developing a government, showing a non-threatening stance towards Iran will be crucial.Iran is an essential
and influential nation in the region
It especially has deep ties with lots of Syrians, who still remember Iran for assisting the nation root out Daesh, stated West Asia expert
Al-Jolani and his allies in Syria will likely try to develop ties with Iran
Their success hinges on their capability to convincingly distance themselves from their history of terrorism.To attain local acceptance, the
specialist argued, HTS and its allies need to show they no longer present a danger to other countries, mirroring the Talibans
experience.Just like how the world is scrutinizing the Taliban to see if they have actually changed their behavior, Iran and other nations
will need some time to assess the possible future rulers of Syria
Till then, a regular working Syrian federal government would be impossible.
