Brilliantly written article. I noticed a typo after the mentioning of Qasem Soleimani. JazakAllah Khair for writing this article as the past few weeks have seen very few voices advocating for the Syrian people.
Thanks for posting this. There were (and are) so many factions that the issue defies the limited "black-and-white" perspectives of many in the West. That said, I think you got at the crux of the situation with this appraisal: << Obama and then Trump aimed to keep the conflict in balance to disallow any one side to achieve a totalising victory – dragging the civil war out was a favoured policy of all administrations. This also served Israel, which saw a weakened Syria with Assad in power as the best option for its security. >>
Are there any possibilities for a pro Iranian voice to deal with the allegations that Iran was always creating proxies for simply protecting Iranian interests??/
I would like to hear from lets say prof Marandi on this matter
I always understood it as them trying to balance the delicate issue of axis and national interests in a very crappy world of cloak and dagger.
For sure, that is worth asking them. The problem is, like those that support the Arab dictatorships, there is denial. Everyone is called 'Daesh' and is thus fair game.
Thank you for educating us about the situation in Syria. Politics is confusing. I love to hear the analysis from good Muslims. You giving us hope. May Allah bless you and keep your podcast and letters successful to keep us aware of the situation in our lives. Most of people have no clue. But if we are educated we can move to change life to better life for all.
