发帖数: 5818 | 1 Soleimani's killing ignites Russia-vs.-Iran schism in Syria
The death of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, at the orders of President
Trump last week, not only has cast a murky shadow on the future of Iraq’s
leadership, but also has sent schisms through Syria's leadership, multiple
sources tell Fox News.
“Many Syrians wish the U.S. would have killed Soleimani years ago. Perhaps
this would not have led to major shifts on the ground, but it is certain
that the number of those killed, wounded or displaced would have been fewer,
” said Rahim Hamid, a Virginia-based Iranian Arab analyst. “But, many
Syrians have felt that they got their revenge.”
In the twisted patchwork of conflicts that the Middle East has been, Syria's
policy throughout its long-running civil war has been manipulated largely
by the military prowess of Moscow and Tehran. Namely, Soleimani was deemed a
chief engineer in aligning with the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-
Assad and exercising Iran’s military might under the guise of fighting
terrorism. Under the slain commander’s governance, Syria received a
plethora of weapons, training, and ground support from the top echelon of
Iran’s military. |
