Since the start of the war in 2011, Damascus has never met such a devastating defeat like the fall of Aleppo. Iraq lived something tragically similar with the fall of Mosul in 2014. It’s fair to argue that the absolute majority of Syrians are against the 2020 Russia-Turkey-Iran deal which in fact prevented the liberation of Idlib: a major strategic blunder.
It gets worse – because the problem actually started in 2018, when the Turks were not even in Afrin, and the liberation of Hama/Idlib was interrupted for the sake of liberating the suburbs of Damascus. It’s from there that tens of thousands of jihadis were transferred to Idlib.
When we got to 2020 it was already too late: Idlib was defended by none other than the Turkish Army.
The SAA, when it comes to Idlib, proved itself to be an asleep-at-the wheel disaster. They did not upgrade their defenses, did not integrate the use of drones, did not prepare tactical defense against FPV kamikaze drones and observation drones, and did not pay attention to the scores of foreign spies. No wonder the Rent-a-Jihadi mob found any resistance to take most of Aleppo in 48 hours.
After the 2020 deal, Iran and pro-Iran forces left Syria, especially in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib. These sectors were transferred to the SAA. This time, it was clear for months that HTS was preparing an offensive. Warnings were sent to Damascus. But the Syrians trusted the deal with Turkey and the re-established relations with Arab nations. Big mistake.
Why did the government collapse so quickly?
The offensive came at a moment of heightened regional instability. Years of sanctions, Israeli aggression, and western interference had weakened Syria’s defenses. Even Assad’s allies expressed shock at the Syrian army’s swift collapse – despite providing intelligence. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted:
“We were surprised by the weakness of the Syrian army and the speed of field developments, and Assad expressed his surprise at the weak performance of his army during his last meeting with the senior adviser to the Leader of the Revolution, Mr. Ali Larijani.”
Armed factions executed a meticulously planned blitzkrieg, employing heavy weaponry – some allegedly provided by – and leveraging advanced western military tactics. Coupled with a media onslaught that sapped morale, Syria’s defenses crumbled in quick succession. HTS is, in short, a well-trained CIA/NATO strike force that performed brilliantly. Key Syrian allies, including Iran and Hezbollah, were preoccupied with other conflicts, such as supporting Gaza and countering Israeli aggression in Lebanon. Russia, entangled in its war with Ukraine, withdrew key naval assets from the Syrian port city Tartous and refrained from committing significant reinforcements.
Turkey’s geopolitical interests, particularly regarding Kurdish autonomy and refugee burdens, incentivized its support for toppling Assad’s government.
The timeline tells the story:
November 18: Ronen Bar, Israel’s Shin Bet chief, meets with heads of MIT, Turkey’s Intelligence.
November 25: NATO Chief Mark Rutte meets with Erdogan.
November 26: Salafi-jihadis assembled by HTS, formerly Nusa Front, supported by Turkish Intel, plus a hefty terrorist coalition, launch a lightning-fast attack against Aleppo.Right before the ceasefire, Tel Aviv smashed virtually all communication routes between Syria and Lebanon. Netanyahu subsequently stressed that the focus now is on “the Iranian threat”, essential to smash the Axis of Resistance.
During the speech on 26 November in which he announced the ceasefire with Lebanon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning to Assad against “playing with fire” and claimed that “Israel is changing the face of the Middle East. “This declaration appeared to have ignited a well-coordinated assault by NATO-backed armed factions against the Syrian government.
The offensive started in Syria’s second-largest city and economic backbone, Aleppo, and swiftly cascaded through provinces, including the rest of Idlib, Hama, Daraa, Suwayda, Homs, and ultimately Damascus. By the 12th day, the capital had fallen, and Assad, along with his family, was in Moscow.
According to a Syrian special services source, Ukrainian advisers played the key role in the capture of Aleppo – providing drones and American satellite navigation and electronic warfare systems, and teaching Syrian collaborators and Islamic Party of Turkestan operatives how to use them.
Syrian Arab Army (SAA) communications were completely jammed by these electronic warfare systems: “The assault groups and drones were equipped with encrypted GPS devices and extensive use of AI, so that the use and navigation of attack UAVs and kamikaze drones took place from a long distance.”
The mechanism was set in place months ago. Kiev made a straightforward deal with terrorists: drones in exchange for batches of takfiris to be weaponized against Russia in the US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine.
Then on the day the ceasefire with Lebanon was signed, the HTS and another group, the SDF, a Kurdish proxy force also backed by the US began a new assault on Aleppo.
The Attack
On the morning of 27 November, armed extremist groups launched violent attacks on Syrian army positions in the vicinity of the 46th Regiment and toward the villages of Orem al-Kubra and the surrounding areas, located a short distance from the M5 Aleppo-Hama-Damascus highway. The scope of the battles quickly expanded on the international road and into the city of Aleppo. The goal of the military operation launched by HTS and its allies is the recovery of the positions gained by the Syrian forces with the support of Russia during the battles of 2017 – 2020. The militants claim that the Syrian and Russian army’s “violations” of the de-escalation agreements – and their intensification of strikes on Idlib – prompted these military operations in order to regain their control of these areas. They say that the Syrian army’s retreat in Aleppo’s western countryside provided impetus for the militants to launch further attacks toward rural eastern Idlib. Within three days, armed extremist groups were able to reach the heart of Aleppo and declare a curfew for 24 hours. HTS forced the complete surrender of Aleppo – without a fight – and filmed themselves in front of the legendary Citadel, on 30th November. From 2012 to 2016, only a few dozen SAA soldiers managed to successfully defend the citadel, even when they were completely surrounded.
War in West Asia is an on the road affair; either with horses in the desert or with Toyotas. Not much is mined, and there’s no mud like in Ukraine. So the Syrian war is in constant flux – and always on the road. HTS is already using the M4 highway from Idlib and advancing on sectors of the crucial M5 from Aleppo to Damascus.
“Hama is not strategic, but Homs is because it connects Damascus with the coastal area, which is the core of the loyalist base, and for the Iranians losing Homs means potentially losing access to Lebanon,” he said.
Homs is the last major government-held stronghold before the capital Damascus and its fall would leave the Assad government vulnerable. For context, here’s the 2015 control map which shows Syria on the brink just before Russia intervened in September 2015. This points to Hamas as the last critical junction as Homs has been designated as the main line of defense.
Shaheen drones: The New Rebel weapon in Syria’s Skies
Images released on social media showed rebel supporters celebrating in Hama, while members of the exiled opposition praised the capture of the city as a possible stepping stone to Assad’s eventual overthrow. Rebel forces have also captured weapons and military hardware abandoned in several areas as President Bashar al-Assad’s forces fell back.
As rebels gain more ground in key government areas in northwestern Syria, an advanced locally made drone is being credited as a vital element behind the success. HTS special forces, the Falcon (al-Shaheen) Brigade, deploying advanced, locally made combat drones named “Shaheen”.
These drones allowed rebels to target beyond the firing line, rendering armoured vehicles ineffective through coordinated assaults and causing frontlines to collapse.
Rebel commander Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Abdul Ghani on Monday wrote on X, that a Shaheen drone struck a high-level meeting of the Syrian Republic Guards in the city of Masyaf in the Hama province. He also said that a Syrian helicopter trying to take off from Hama military airport was also destroyed in another Shaheen attack. A senior rebel leader said that the Shaheen drone is the “key element” in the offensive. He added that while the drones are being used for the first time in battle, they have been tested on several occasions along the frontlines in Latakia province, an area that has seen continuous clashes throughout the Syrian war. “Our Shaheen drones are capable of destroying armoured tanks, armed vehicles, and enemy fighters with less than a five percent error,” said the rebel leader, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as he is not authorised to comment. The leader said that over recent years, rebels had captured Iranian and Russian suicide drones that did not explode and used them as prototypes to create their own drones. ‘Our Shaheen drones are capable of destroying armoured tanks, armed vehicles, and enemy fighters with less than a five percent error’.
Drone footage has shown attacks on airports, tanks, vehicles, and government forces, as well as the operation that killed Brigadier General Uday Ghasa, the head of the Military Security Branch in Hama, in the town of Souran. Pro-Assad official media confirmed Ghasa’s killing and reported that government forces have thwarted many drone attacks. Pro-government media pages on Facebook, which report news 24 hours a day,continuously publish warnings about new waves of rebel drone attacks.
The Counter-Attack
Meanwhile, the lineaments of a counter-offensive are being put in place. From Iraq, tens of thousands of Shi’ite, Yazidi and Christian militias from Kata’ib Hezbollah, the Fatemiyoun Brigade, and Hashd al-Shaabi (the Popular Mobilization Units, PMUs, very experienced in the fight against ISIS) entered Syria in the northeast via the al-Kamal crossing.
The 25th division/Tiger Forces of respected commander Suhail Hassan, in fact the best Syrian forces, are on the move alongside tribal militias. Suhail Hassan has also moved to Moscow with the Asad family, on the insistent request of the Russian military/intelligence analyst. This is the man who will lead the resurgence of Syria, and wrest it out of the hands of Israel and the US.
Russia Helps
As the confrontations intensified, Syrian and Russian warplanes launched a series of violent raids on HTS and Turkestani sites and supply lines, with video footage revealing heavy losses in the ranks of the rebel factions and several media sources confirming fatalities of more than 2000 members of HTS and other militant groups in the Aleppo and Idlib regions.
The expansion of air attacks by the Syrian and Russian forces led, on Thursday morning, (the 2nd day) to a lull in HTS’ field momentum as the group suffered both human and material losses. Sources on the frontline also reveal the arrival of huge military reinforcements to the main confrontation zone in western Aleppo – Syrian troops and supplies that are planning a counterattack to restore the status quo. Sporadic clashes have broken out on the outskirts of Hama as the jihadists advance on the city, Iranian military advisers and volunteers have arrived in Hama to assist the Syrian military. Iran has vowed to issue a “serious” response to HTS, after the group attacked its consulate in Aleppo and killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Pourhashemi. The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) – made up of numerous ex-ISIS fighters and commanders – was involved in the attack and ongoing clashes. The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), which fights under HTS’s command, was responsible for an attack on a Syrian military college in Homs on 5 October last year, which killed dozens during a graduation ceremony.
Last month, Russian and Syrian warplanes carried out joint raids on HTS positions in the Idlib and Latakia provinces, targeting the terrorists’ training sites and warehouses. With the Resistance objectively on the back foot in the region, it makes sense why their HTS foes decided to go on the offensive at this specific moment, something that they’d clearly planned to do for a while.
As it stands, the SAA seems to have set up a still fragile defense line in the villages north of Hama. Fabled Gen Javad Ghaffari, former number two to Gen Soleimani, a specialist in all war on terror vectors, has arrived from Iran to help. By the way, in 2020 he wanted to go all the way to Idlib. That’s why Assad demanded he would have to leave; Damascus opted to freeze the war. Now it’s a completely different ball game. The Rent-a-Jihadi/NATO Idlib mob has zero air defenses. They are now being hit virtually non-stop by Russia/Syrian jets.
The collapse of Syrian Arab Army’s lines this past fortnight has shocked observers. Few expected a lightning offensive and now even Hama has fallen, which has stood unconquered even during the darkest times of the Syrian “regime-change” operation, code-named by the CIA as “Operation Timber Sycamore”.
This comes shortly after the announced a series of coordinated artillery, missile, and aerial strikes, backed by Russian air support, targeting militant vehicles and gatherings in the northern and southern country sides of Hama. The Ministry confirmed that the strikes resulted in dozens of casualties among the militants. The Syrian Armed Forces, with the support of Russian and Syrian combat aircraft, carried out a successful operation against terrorist units in the north of Homs province, the Syrian Defense Ministry announced on Friday.
“Our Armed Forces carried out a successful operation… in the north of Homs province. With the support of Syrian and Russian aircraft, artillery and military hardware, dozens of terrorists… and a large number of their equipment and weapons were destroyed,” the statement read.
When the HTS attacked, there were 2,500 Wagner troops in Homs. They were instructed to rush to Aleppo and help the Syrian Army in defending the city. When they arrived in Aleppo, they found that the city was guarded by Syrian Army conscripts. Then, a second group of Russian soldiers left Latakia to help re-inforce the first group. The second group, on the way to Aleppo, found the Syrian Army in full retreat, with many ditching their uniforms, guns and abandoning tanks and other military equipment. When both groups joined up, Moscow issued new instructions to them to return to base.
All Russian forces in Syria were ordered to return to the 2 Russian bases in Latakia, and consolidate and prepare defenses, just in case. The Russian Army had only 120 people in Aleppo. Those that survived left. So what’s ahead for Russia? The best possible medium-term scenario would be to concentrate on Lattakia; teach Syrian soldiers how to fight Russian-style; and direct them on how to properly liberate their own nation.
Back in Russia, an air wing was being prepared to send to Syria to aid in its defense. But, the coup was proceeding faster than any of them could react. It was too late. Asad left Damascus for Moscow on Friday evening. By Saturday, the rebels had taken Damascus. This coup was one of the best success stories of the CIA. There were no leaks. The CIA, Mossad, MI6, and MIT kept a tight lid while planning this coup. Besides, none of the other intelligence agencies picked up this planning, although Iran picked up this in June, when they warned Asad. These warnings were repeated in October, but Asad replied that “if Iranian troops enter Syria, then Israel will attack”.
The spectacular collapse of the Syrian Army could be laid at the huge amounts in cash given as bribes to military commanders, who told their troops to “call it a day”, and go home! Simple as that! “We seized the main police department in the centre of the city and the general prison, and liberated many prisoners. The clashes are ongoing to liberate the entire city in the coming hours.” All the prisons in Syria were opened and 1000s of prisoners were released.
What is Turkey really up to?
Erdogan and Hakan Fidan, so far, have failed to explain to the whole of the Middle East– as well as the Global South – how this sophisticated Rent-a-Jihadi op could have been set up by US/Israel without any knowledge whatsoever by Turkey. What the facts do spell out is that a new front has de facto been opened against Iran; US/Israel Divide and Rule carries the potential to completely smash the Tehran-Ankara entente.
There’s no mystery: for years, Ankara has been dying to control Aleppo – even indirectly, to “stabilize” it for business (to the benefit of Turkish companies) and also to allow the return of a lot of relatively wealthy Aleppo refugees currently in Turkey. In parallel, occupying Aleppo is also an American project: in this case to seriously undermine the Axis of Resistance to the benefit of Tel Aviv.
What else is new: Erdogan – now a BRICS partner – once again is in the hot seat. Worse: Vis a Vis two key BRICS members. Moscow and Tehran expect a lot of detailed explaining. There’s nothing that Putin abhors more than outright betrayal. Erdogan took the initiative, and called Putin – introducing a twist: he focused on Russia-Turkey economic relations. After the tsunami of sanctions against Russia, Turkey turned into the key, privileged bridge between Moscow and the West. Besides, there are substantial Russian investments in Turkey: gas, nuclear, food imports. Both players always approached the war in Syria connected to geo-economics.
Meanwhile, the facts are again implacable. CIA/Pentagon, each operating their own network, weaponized 21 out of 28 Syrian militias, organized by Turkey’s MIT into a sort of mercenary “national army” in Idlib. Allegiance is nearly 100% to Ankara. They hate Shi’ites and Alawites – and run an extensive prison network. Erdogan addressed key regional issues, including the ongoing developments in Syria, expressing hope for “a smooth continuation of anti-regime forces’ advance toward Damascus, Idlib, Hama, Homs, and the target, of course, is Damascus. The opposition’s march continues. Our wish is that this advancement in Syria continues without accidents or disasters,” Erdogan stated to reporters following Friday prayers in Istanbul.
The Arabs Support Syria & Assad
Damascus has returned to the Arab fold by rejoining the Arab League and being welcomed by several Persian Gulf states. Those capitals are no longer interested in backing jihadists, resuscitating the war, or destabilizing Lebanon and Iraq, Syria’s direct and connected neighbors, at this moment.
MBZ of Abu Dhabi told Assad that the UAE “stands with the Syrian state and supports it in combating terrorism and extending its sovereignty, territorial integrity and stability,” according the Syrian leader’s office.
But while observers assert that Assad is on the ropes, his main backers, Russia and Iran are already flexing their muscle – and unlike the previous time Assad was in trouble in 2012, the Arab states in the region, including are publicly backing Syria’s sovereignty. Iraq says it shall help Syria militarily as well.
With the exception of Qatar, all Arab ambassadors are back in Damascus – and since the fall of Aleppo, there has been a reaffirmation of support for Syria, marking a key difference from when the conflict was viewed as a civil war.
Indeed, as Aleppo was falling, the UAE and US were on the verge of removing sanctions on Syria. Assad must now finally take their advice on rapprochement with Erdogan before the situation spirals out of control. But, events moved so fast on the ground that the slow pace of diplomacy couldn’t stop the fall.
The escalation in Idlib province that began 2 weeks ago has rapidly spiraled into a series of events that have dramatically transformed Syria’s situation. On December 7, armed opposition forces and fighters from HTS, encircled Damascus, the nation’s capital. Within a single night, they seized the strategic city of Homs, encountering little resistance, and advanced into Damascus itself. Along their path, they freed prisoners from numerous detention facilities, including Syria’s largest prison, Saydnaya, symbolizing the regime’s total loss of control.
By midday on December 7, panic had engulfed the city. Syrian soldiers, shedding their uniforms for civilian attire, fled the capital in haste, leaving it nearly defenseless. By nightfall, the streets of Damascus were deserted of military personnel, replaced by frightened citizens scrambling to stockpile food and flee their homes. This exodus was particularly evident in the affluent northern districts, where residents departed en masse, and fearing chaos. In contrast, the southern part of the city presented a starkly different scene: There, the opposition was welcomed as liberators. Crowds gathered in celebration, waving flags, and in a climactic act of defiance, the statue of Hafez Assad, founder of the modern Syrian regime and father of Bashar Assad, was torn down.
The events unfolding in Syria are far from coincidental; they are the result of deep-seated processes that have been building for years. This tragedy was likely predestined by a confluence of internal contradictions, external pressures, and historical missteps, collectively creating a perfect storm capable of toppling even the most entrenched regimes. The Syrian crisis, which began as a standoff between the government and certain opposition groups, evolved into a prolonged conflict fueled by a complex mosaic of local, regional, and international interests. Years of relentless warfare and an unwillingness to seek compromise led to worsening economic inequality, a brain drain of skilled workers, the collapse of state institutions and infrastructure, and the fragmentation and corruption of the political elite. Society, worn down by a lack of prospects, became deeply fractured, and the growing discontent among the population only hastened the weakening of the central government.
The recent capture of Homs and the fall of Damascus marked the final act in this tragedy. Syria found itself trapped by its own missteps and the ambitions of external actors, with its people becoming pawns in a game where the stakes were not peace but power and resources. This crisis is not just about Syria’s fate – it is a stark reminder of the fragility of any state that ignores the signals of its society and allows external forces to dictate its future. The 54-year rule of the Asad dynasty came to an abrupt manner in ways which no one was expecting. The black flag of Salafist Islam has been raised over Damascus. ISIS/Al Qaeda has won. None of this information was reported to the public because the media does not want the American people to know that Washington just helped install a terrorist regime at the center of the Middle East. But that’s what’s really going on.
As we said earlier, Washington is fully committed to controlling critical resources in the Middle East as a way to contain China and maintain its increasingly tenuous grip on global power. The Abraham Accords also factor into this geopolitical strategy by normalizing relations between Israel and its Muslim neighbors (primarily Saudi Arabia) in order to create an economic corridor; Washington sees economic integration in the region as the principle means for preserving its global primacy. That doesn’t mean that Israel’s ambitions to dominate the Middle East weren’t the driving force behind the war in Syria and the ousting of Assad. It was, but there were other considerations as well, geopolitical considerations.
So, you can see why the US wanted to install a government that was more receptive to Washington’s interests. What’s hard to understand, however, is how this is all supposed to work.
I can’t imagine that any of the young men who have spent the last decade of their lives around the dessert know a lot about running a government. So, who’s going to run the agencies, pay the workers and perform the mundane clerical tasks that that are expected of every government? Who’s going to run the schools, fix the roads, and police the streets? What is more probable is that the architects of this dreadful fiasco plan to run the country and its flailing economy into the ground, greatly intensifying the suffering of ordinary working people, increasing the public dissatisfaction until an attempt is made to violently overthrow the new regime. This regime is merely a tool in the hands of foreign interests who want to seize as much of Syria’s natural wealth as possible while eliminating a potential threat to Israel’s relentless expansion.
What does matter (to Tel Aviv and Washington) is having a proxy army that is willing to do its bidding in an upcoming war with Iran. That matters. And that is why the US and Turkey use “contract” soldiers who will do what they are told in exchange for the lavish salaries they receive. HTS is paid for its services, and those services are going to involve the launching of attacks on Iran and Hezbollah. HTS doesn’t have the slightest interest in running the government. Syria is merely a base of operations for launching attacks on Iran and Hezbollah. That’s it. That’s what they’re paid to do, make war. It’s all about geography, gas, USD and Israel. And of those four, Israel looms largest.
A Key Difference
Amid the reordering of Lebanon, one thing that has stood the test of time is Syria’s ability to remain relevant, despite all the damage it has incurred
At the same time, there has been a quiet flurry of diplomatic activity in recent months, placing Assad center-stage for a potential new shakeup in the Levant.
A number of countries, led by the Arab League are calling for a major rethink of ties with Syria, spurred by the need to engage Assad for their own migration and security issues.
Syria has carefully maintained profile during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. Whilst being a key member of the Axis of resistance for the last 40 years, Syria has not been averse to talking or doing deals with Israel. It has at numerous times almost solved the issue of Golan, so it knows the balance.
Those who know the history of Lebanon and the Liberation Organization (PLO) will know just how critical Syria is to the delicate balance of the region’s unorthodox relationships, which are not quite as black and white as they seem. Everything is not simply what western analysts label as “Shia versus Sunni”.
But the Israelis know that for any final deal with the Palestinian people, there must first be an understanding with Damascus. Similarly, Hamas’s recent relationship with Syria show how intricately linked the Palestinian file is to Syria’s endgame for Israel.
To be clear, Syria was under no illusions: half the country had been reduced to rubble. But its strength has never been an all-out powerful military or strategic arms advantage. It is Syria’s ability to punch above its weight. It is Syria’s ability to outlast its opponents and ride out the storm, rather than beating its opponents into submission. Assad, despite Israel’s frequent attacks on Iranian targets in Damascus, has not taken any retaliatory actions that could further raise Israel’s ire.
Amid the reordering of Lebanon, one thing that has stood the test of time is Syria’s ability to remain relevant, despite all the damage it has incurred. While Syria depended on Russia and Iran militarily, its global diplomatic support has increased, from Italy, to Saudi Arabia, to China – and this will eventually decide the future of Syria, and the region.
In short, Syria is being ganged-up on from literally every side: north, east, south, and west.
For the Empire, a Historic Victory or Grand Illusion?
Many now espouse the understandable sentiment that Israel and the US have achieved an unprecedented victory over their enemies.
First, let’s start with the obvious. At the moment, Israel is no closer to achieving its aims of returning its hostages, repopulating its citizens, or actually defeating Hezbollah as a fighting force on the battlefield. Israeli society has taken major blows in the last year of this crisis, and the trust in the government which was lost will not be recovered for a long time, if ever. The same goes for institutional trust, particularly between the military and political wing. Israel still appears headed toward decline.
Granted, there are potentialities for Israel to emerge on top, they simply don’t look likely just yet.
Firstly, Turkey is most likely to emerge as the chief victor and dominant influence over the powers in the region. Ostensibly, the group it controls most is the SNA rebels—aka FSA or TFSA, which are not on perfect terms with HTS. However, ultimately the Syrian project has been a Turkish one, and Turkey’s main drive of Ottoman Empire revanchism will eventually clash with Zionism’s Greater Israel project.
Recall that the Ottoman Empire has classically controlled all of Palestine for hundreds of years, which includes Israel itself. You can levy accusations against Erdogan double-dealing and supplying Israeli oil and such, but these are all realpolitik practicalities and do not change the ultimate reality that Turkey’s destiny is to pursue restoration of its lost Ottoman lands, which includes not only all of Syria but Palestine as well. That means by defeating an ‘independent’—but ultimately innocuous—Syria, Israel has just condemned itself to a future fate far worse than facing even distant Iran.
Signs have already begun showing as they threaten to take back Al-Quds, also known as Jerusalem: Does Israel even realize what it has just helped to facilitate? Instead of a peaceful secular state on its borders, it may soon have a rabid caliphate, led by someone without Assad’s temperance and pumped up by Turkey into a reconquista of Jerusalem and Gaza. Israel thinks it has eliminated Iran from the chessboard but instead it has potentially brought on someone even far more historically aggressive, and someone who—unlike Iran—has an actual, real historical bone to pick with the colonial pretender of Israel.
Washington, London, and their allies are not merely fighting to maintain control over the Middle East; they are striving to solidify their dominance on the global stage. Their actions demonstrate a willingness to use any means, including support for terrorist organizations, to achieve strategic objectives. This conflict is yet another theater of global confrontation, where the struggle for influence in the Middle East is directly tied to the West’s efforts to retain its global supremacy.
The Losers
With the fall of Syria and the Asad government, the losers are Iran, Russia, China, the Palestinian Resistance, the Arab world and the Global South. We shall explore these in our forthcoming articles.
