Iran has opened a direct line of communication with rebels in Syria after the ouster of the country’s President Bashar al-Assad, a senior Iranian official told Reuters today, in an effort to “prevent” relations between Iran and Syria from taking a ” hostile march”.
The surprise operation by a coalition of Syrian rebels — spearheaded by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), al-Qaida’s former arm in Syria — to capture Damascus and oust Assad is one of the highlights. turning point for the Middle East for decades. With the fall of the Syrian president, Iran and Russia lost a bastion from which they exerted influence in the Arab world.
The senior Iranian official indicated that the country’s leadership, faced with the loss of an important ally in Damascus and the return of Donald Trump to the US presidency, is open to talks with the new Syrian leaders.
“This commitment is key to stabilizing ties and avoiding further tension in the region,” he explained.
