Iran Supports Assad Regime... Pro-Iran Militias Cross Syria Border
Syrian Regime Supported by Iran Resisting Israel
As the Syrian regime faces a crisis due to a major counterattack by rebel forces, it has been revealed that Iran and pro-Iranian factions have hastily crossed the Syrian border.
According to major foreign media on the 2nd (local time), pro-Iranian armed groups in Iraq headed to Syria to support the regime led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
According to Syrian military sources, they entered northern Syria from Iraq the previous night and began supporting the Syrian government forces. Dozens of fighters from the pro-Iranian armed group Hashd al-Shaabi also entered Syria through a passage near the Abu Kamal crossroads.
The additional deployment of reinforcements by pro-Iranian forces is believed to be due to Syria's geopolitical importance. The Assad regime has secured a key stronghold within its territory that Iran needs to expand its influence in the Middle East while resisting Israel.
The Syrian civil war, which has lasted 14 years since 2011, has recently seen a rapid shift in the situation as some rebel forces launched a surprise recapture of Aleppo, the second-largest city, from the Assad regime for the first time in eight years.
Iran has sent thousands of Shia militias to support the government forces in order to protect the Assad regime during the Syrian civil war. In particular, the Lebanese armed faction Hezbollah has been a significant help to the Assad regime, but Hezbollah is currently greatly weakened and unable to perform its role due to concentrated attacks by Israel.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on the same day that Iranian military advisers are stationed in Syria at the request of the Syrian government.
