Syria's Oil, Everyone Else's Profit

New from Syria News: Syrian woman's account of what's actually happened to her country's oil — and it isn't reconstruction; it's a handover.

The pipeline America destroyed in Iraq is being reopened for America. The oil fields are "state property" on paper and Tom Barrack's in practice. The uranium stockpiles go to Turkey by the truckload. And while ordinary Syrians can't afford electricity or get their garbage collected, the terrorists running Damascus keep signing contracts over infrastructure they blew up themselves.

We've documented this theft for over a decade under every administration that took part in it — Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump again — and this is just the latest chapter, dressed up in new language.

Words Are Weapons Too: A UN Official Exposed What Western Media Hide

Craig Mokhiber, former New York Office Director of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, exposed on X what Western newsrooms and, in extension, Western politicians, intentionally manipulate.

Mokhiber said "The constant sanitizing of language by the corporate Western media, done on behalf of the US-Israel Axis, is simply stunning to watch. The attacks on Iran are not some "war of choice," they are the crime of aggression, full stop. The Israeli regime's ongoing attacks on the Palestinian people are not a "war", they are the crime of genocide. And the lawless dissemination of Axis propaganda by the media is not journalism, it's complicity."

— Craig Mokhiber on Twitter

This is exactly the same game we have been documenting here on Syria News since the war of terror on Syria first began, more than a decade and a half ago now.

Language is never innocent in these wars. It is chosen, on purpose, word by word, to launder real crimes into something soft and forgettable for the people back home in the West, the very same people whose tax money is paying for all of it.

We were heavily criticized for years, since the very beginning of the war of terror on Syria, simply for refusing to call the head-chopping terrorists of Al Qaeda and ISIS by the polite name the mainstream media insisted on using for them, "moderate rebels." That was the accepted narrative back then. Anyone who called it what it actually was got labeled "not balanced."

It is the same trick, over and over, in every single one of these wars.

• An illegal aggression becomes a "strike."
• Unilateral sanctions, imposed without any approval whatsoever from the United Nations Security Council, become simple "measures," almost like paperwork.
• And now, a deliberate war of aggression by choice against Iran, which is in fact the highest crime recognized under international law, as it was defined by no one other than the victors of World War II themselves when they wrote the UN Charter, gets softened down into something as forgettable as "tensions in the region."

Mokhiber is completely right to name this for what it is. It is not journalism, it is complicity, and it has been complicity for a very long time now.

Safaa Syria: They Sold the Golan for a Forged Certificate, and Called It Peace

Syria News contributor Safaa Syria, writing back to the site from inside the wound, refuses to let the world call this "progress."

On the sidelines of the recent NATO summit in Turkey, Trump summoned Al Qaeda HTS commander and former deputy commander of ISIS Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani and his foreign minister, and spewed the full recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in front of the terrorists' delegation, dressed up as American generosity: a promise to finally scrub Syria off Washington's terrorism list after 47 years.

Al Qaeda HTS's Foreign Ministry called it the closing of a "dark chapter." Safaa calls it what it actually is: a forged certificate of good conduct, purchased with land that was never Israel's or Jolani's, to be traded away.

Safaa walks through the nineteen months since Al Qaeda HTS took Damascus without a fight — the dollar back at war-time highs, sixty percent of minority public employees fired before the "raises" arrived, electricity priced out of reach of anyone without a salary, hundreds of hectares of Syrian wheat fields burned to keep bread an import, and the new regime's own oil fields sold back to citizens at world price.

Ten bombings in Damascus in a single week, one near the low-rated Macron while he shook Al-Jolani's hand, the worst bombing gutted a cafe behind the Justice Palace. She asks the only honest question left: Is this what liberation from terrorism looks like?

Don't let anyone tell you the lie of selling the Golan to Israel died quietly with Hafez Al-Assad's name attached to it; it was buried in silence, along with everyone who spread it for years and never apologized: The Golan Was Sold With a Forged Certificate of Good Conduct.

The Shah's Son in Berlin: He Wants Power, West Wants Oil

When the son of the last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, recently visited Berlin and criticized the German government for not doing enough to help him take power, prominent German historian Stefan Heuer looked deeper.

Mr. Heuer addresses the historic context starting with the 1953 CIA-MI6 coup that removed Iran's democratic prime minister Mossadegh. That coup brought back Reza's father as a puppet of Western oil companies and a faithful slave for Israel. The article explains how the West always supports dictators if they serve Western interests, just like today in Syria and Ukraine.

Mr. Heuer shows how Reza Pahlavi now works with the same friends – the United States and Israel. He even supported Israeli and US attacks on his own country, Iran and called Iranian children murdered by his buddies "collateral damage."

Reza is linked to a violent movement among Iranian exiles and a suspicious murder in Canada, Mr. Heuer highlights. But the West still wants to use him as a face for regime change because Iranian oil must flow to Western markets, along with the vast wealth of a nation of almost 100 million people.

Russia and Iran Stabbing Syria's Assad in the Back: The Idlib Agreement

In September 2019, as the Syrian Arab Army SAA was marching toward the last stronghold of Al Qaeda HTS in Idlib, a sudden ceasefire agreement was reached to halt the SAA advance under extreme pressure from Syria's presumed allies in the war on terror, Russia and Iran.

The main reason cited by the two presumed allies, Russia and Iran, and conveyed to the Syrian leadership, was that the NATO Turkish leader, Erdogan, undertook to dismantle Al Qaeda HTS terrorists in the north of Syria to avoid a blowback on his country that would lead to his downfall.

What was really plotted by the anti-Islamic Turkish madman, Erdogan, was another episode of his usual flip-flop acts to cool down the Syrian Army's advancing, strengthening the terrorists' base, and expanding NATO's second-largest army, the Turkish Army's illegal presence to protect the terrorist armies.

Against the repeated warnings of the Syrian leadership to both Russia and Iran not to trust the Turkish madman, both Russia and Iran worked out a signed agreement dubbed the Astana / Idlib agreement, in which they would guarantee the implementation of the Turkish part in dismantling the terrorist groups and the full withdrawal of the Turkish occupying army from northern Syria. Needless to remind you that they failed in their duties, which they took upon themselves to help their sworn enemy, NATO member state and Israel's main ally, Turkey, at the expense of their true ally, Syria.

We all know the results of the backstabbing of Russia and Iran of Syria, and mind you that was in September 2019, the Syrian Arab Army continued combating the tens of thousands of terrorists and invading armies on over 40 open fronts across the country until the last few months of Assad's ruling when he asked the Arab leaders to counterweight the Turkish growing presence in Syria and was again backstabbed by those as well.

It was not the only time the gullible Mr. Putin of Russia and the Iranian mullahs were fooled by the evil camp led by the USA, they have a long history of being fooled by the same camp in every aspect of dealing with them, like in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, the color revolutions across Europe and inside Russia and Iran and so on, but their endless tendency to appease to the rulers of the USA on the account of their own people and their people acceptance of such appeasement is bewildering more so of the same appeasement the real rulers of the USA and its Western vassal states receive from their peoples.

It was never the lack of bravery or willing to fight by the Syrian people and their armed forces, they fought alone in the first 3 years since March 2011 until they received the first shy support from the Leabense Hezb Allah group in the fall of 2013, and until the Russianss decided to join only the war on terror in Syria in the end of September 2015 to combat the terrorists inside Syria hailing from Russian speaking regions, but after 13.5 years, even the Syrian people reached their limits seeing that two of the richest countries in oil and gas are helping the Turkish economy and military on their account before they totally gave up.

Al Qaeda is Now Linked to the International Banking System SWIFT

One can just wonder how much dumb are Western populations, the majority of them, when it comes to foreign policy, they are the very definition of 'useful idiots' as they are the easiest to manipulate to extort their hard-earned tax money to fund war crimes and crimes against humanity across the globe based on lies and to the detriment of their livelihood, the sponsorship of Al Qaeda terrorists in Syria is just one chapter in that manipulation.

For 14 years, the USA and its European lackeys imposed the most brutal sanctions on the consecutive Syrian governments under President Bashar Al Assad because those governments formed from the Syrian people were oppressing their own people and families, among those sanctions were the banning of Syrian banks and financial institutions from connecting to SWIFT, the global inter-bank communication system based in Brussels.

However, when Al Qaeda HTS terrorists took over Syria in early December last year with the help of every NATO member state, the Arab Gulfies, and the inactiveness of the presumed Syrian allies, the Western regimes rushed to lift the sanctions to allow the terrorists comprised mostly of foreign fighters from Chechnya, Chinese Uighur, and other Wahhabi fanatics to control the Syrian resources.

One of the steps of lifting the sanctions on the country after it became ruled by Al Qaeda was the reconnecting of Syria's banks and financial institutions to the worldwide monetary transfer system. Rest assured, your money is now mixed with that of these terrorists.

Do you remember the slogans of protecting the Syrians from their government? Spreading democracy and freedom to Syria? The Syrian president is bombing his own people and using chemical weapons against them? Yeah, those were all lies to use your support of good deeds to commit horrible crimes now all of you are accomplices in because we warned you and it was too simple for you to realize you were fooled, again, by the same people using the same textbook word by word, but you were too lazy to bother.

Al Qaeda HTS Selling Out Syria's Economy to its Sponsors

It didn't take them long to start selling out Syria's public assets, riches, and resources to their sponsors, not even before consolidating their power seat in Damascus, the terrorists of Al Qaeda HTS have been signing contracts giving away, for peanuts expensive assets from the country they illegally occupy with foreign firms.

NATO-sponsored CIA-controlled Al Qaeda HTS, who took over Syria after a 13.5-year genocide-scale war of terror, are wasting no time distributing the spoils of the war among their sponsors, mainly: the USA, UK, some European countries, Turkey, and Qatar (pronounced Gutter).

Prominent historian and political analyst Stefan Heuer translates a German article about the above and explains his take on the events ensuing in Syria, the last secular country before being systematically destroyed by the NATO 'defensive' alliance in his latest article: HTS means the Sell-Out of Syria.

Al Qaeda Celebrated at EU Headquarters and Showered with Billions of Euros!

Al Qaeda HTS representative visited the European Headquarters building in Brussels and was greeted by all EU officials who vowed to prop up the terrorists in Damascus with billions of their citizens' hard-earned tax money.

That's exactly what happened while the terrorists of Al Qaeda HTS are still wreaking havoc in what's left of Syria, the last secular state in the world, and committing their massacres of the Christian and Alawite minorities in the cradle of Christianity and civilization.

If you're a taxpayer in a member state of the European Union, this article is not for you, you've been gullibly funding terrorism and war crimes since the inception of the EU block making you directly responsible for the murder, suffering, displacement of millions of people, the destruction of their countries and in consequence, the destruction of your own country for the benefits of the Satanic globalists controlling your bloc.

If you find it normal that a representative of Al Qaeda terrorist organization visits the headquarters of the EU and receives pledges and direct funds from the bloc's member states after years of claiming that your country is engaged in the US-led so-called 'war on terror', you're a psychopath, otherwise, you should be demanding answers and holding the officials of the EU and your governments accountable for their roles in global terror.

Putin's Gamble with Syria's Enemies Back on Track

After appeasing Syria's enemies on account of Syria for over a decade while claiming to help Russia's only sincere ally in the whole world, Russian President Putin is trying to collect his reward from the Al Qaeda HTS terrorists in Syria, either he's the ultimate naive or he was a part of the conspiracy all along.

For almost a decade, Russian forces were aiding the Syrian Arab Army only enough to counter the ever-growing insurgency of Al Qaeda and its mushroom derivatives and offshoots sponsored by NATO but not enough to defeat the terrorists, rather to provide a safe haven for them in Idlib in the northwest of Syria along the borders with NATO Turkey until they regroup and launch their final assault on the country.

Why while writing this I have a feeling I've seen a similar tactic elsewhere like in Ukraine's eastern oblasts bordering Russia with the two Minsk agreements that were never implemented by NATO and Russia was not serious about holding its 'Western partners' accountable for the implementation of their obligations until over 14 thousands of Ukrainians of Russian origins were brutally murdered?

Now, after helping his 'Western partners' replace Assad with Al Qaeda HTS because Assad was an obstacle to peace, Putin is approaching the Al Qaeda HTS terrorists he was bombing in Idlib with offers to help rebuild the country he helped them destroy.

Syrian President Assad's Important Interview with Chinese Media

From de-dollarization to the weaponization of the world's currency, rebuilding Syria, the US-led war of terror and war of attrition against the Syrian people, the newly announced strategic Syrian-Chinese partnership, the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, the US Army's partnership with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists, the theft of Syrian oil and wheat, and the Western neo-liberalism fascism were among some of the issues the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad discussed in the interview conducted with him by the Chinese Media Group.

The interview with the Syrian president took place in Beijing after concluding the state visit Bashar al-Assad alongside the Asia Games 2023 in which he met the Chinese leadership including a summit with President Xi Jinping and the Chinese prime minister.

Syria-China Strategic Partnership, a Slap to the USA It's Unable to Realize Its Magnitude

The US's decades-long feverish attempts to isolate Syria after failing to take over the country in CIA-organized coups, and the US-led NATO-sponsored war of terrorism and attrition escalating in the past 12.5 years, all of that topped with unprecedented sanctions and blockade by the USA and its satellite European and regional proxies is now seriously challenged by the world's largest economy and growing powerhouse, China.

"Today we will announce the establishment of the Chinese-Syrian strategic partnership, and this will be an important turning point in the history of bilateral relations."

The above words by President Xi Jinping during his summit with his visiting counterpart Syria's Bashar Al Assad marked a new and most important phase in the confrontation between the old world order crafted, led, and managed by the USA, and in particular the anti-God Zionists running the USA, and the new fast-emerging multipolar world order.

Russia's special military operation to expel NATO and the Nazis from Ukraine might be the European most important phase in the process of ending the US's decades-long hegemony over the world, dubbed by many as the US Empire era, the failure to subdue Syria was its real locomotive.

China realized this earlier when it saw the ability of the Syrian state and the Syrian Army to withstand the CIA et al color revolution (aka Arab Spring) and it signaled its understanding that it's time to end the US's so-called rules-based international order which nobody can explain not even the US top officials. The moment of truth for the world was when China used its veto right at the United Nations Security Council to vote down a NATO proposal to carry out another Libya in Syria, even though it didn't need to do so as Russia signaled it would be vetoing down any resolution to allow NATO to repeat their 'democracy-spreading' campaign of Libya in Syria.

The US and European officials didn't understand the seriousness of China's emerging as the new global heavyweight by using its veto rights to defend another nation for the first time in history, they had to try a couple more times and get slapped with the double Russian and Chinese vetos at the UNSC.

The USA continues to refuse to peacefully and quietly break its hegemonic evil global empire and instead started doubling down on its malign practices over the world, especially its direct act threatening the national security of both China and Russia, and the blatant flagrant meddling in Taiwan, China moved to face off and invites President Bashar Al Assad whose leadership managed to stop the Zionists global hegemony and reverse its gains, and brought President Assad on a Chinese plane and declared the establishment of the China-Syria Strategic Partnership in his presence.

This strategic partnership will eliminate the negative repercussions of the US and European sanctions and embargo on Syria after the Syrian Army and its allies militarily defeated the NATO forces of Al Qaeda and ilk in Syria.

Syria and China Crown their 7 Decades Relations with a Strategic Partnership

During the summit between the presidents of Syria and China, President Xi Jinping of China announced the establishment of a strategic partnership relation between his country and Syria, and President Bashar Al Assad emphasized the importance of China in leading the world toward a multipolar order away from the US hegemony and terror.

"Over the 67 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Chinese-Syrian relationship has remained steadfast in the face of changes in international situations, and the friendship between the two countries remains firm over time.
Today we will announce the establishment of the Chinese-Syrian strategic partnership, and this will be an important turning point in the history of bilateral relations." ~President Xi Jinping

President Bashar Al Assad in his reply:

"We look with hope at China’s constructive role in the international arena and reject all attempts to weaken this role through interference in China’s internal affairs, or attempts to create tension in the South China Sea or in Southeast Asia.
This visit is an important visit in its timing and circumstances, as a multipolar world is being formed today that will restore balance and stability to the world, and it is the duty of all of us to seize this moment for the sake of a bright and promising future."

China is the world's largest economy in real economic measures, its enormous skilled, educated, and hardworking manpower, its massive area and strategic location, its advanced high tech, and its production capacity, not to mention its surplus of funding, everything opposite to where the USA stands today and yet the USAians claim they're the leading economy in the world and are relentlessly working hard to destabilize all the other countries especially the main two rivals Russia and China, and even their own allies like Germany and France.

Syria's miraculous steadfastness in the face of the US-led war of terror and attrition for over 12.5 years with the enormous sacrifices the Syrians endured on all levels has paved the way for the rest of the world to stand up to the bullies.

China's double vetos at the United Nations Security Council defending Syria from another NATO adventure brought it into the crosshairs of the 'elitists' ruling the West and brought it up to pose as a major player in the world's affairs.

The world needs China and definitely doesn't need more of the NATO member states and especially their leaders, the USA.

Syrian President Assad in China for Talks and to Attend Asian Games 2023

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent an Air China plane to bring the Syrian President Bashar Al Assad, Syria's First Lady Asmaa Al Assad, and a Syrian delegation from Damascus to attend the Asian Games 2023 in the Chinese city of Hangzhou.

The invitation by China was extended to most world leaders, this is one of the events that China is keen on hosting and keen on bringing in the world to gather to celebrate life and avoid the crises the fading Western hemisphere is instigating across the globe.

President Assad's visit to China will include bilateral talks on the different levels of mutual cooperation, he brought with him a high-level delegation to discuss political, economic, and other relations.

Both Syria and China stood by each other throughout their recent political history especially after Syria was one of the main member states of the United Nations to push for the recognition of China as the representative of the Chinese people, and China's support to Syria on the rights of the Syrian people to liberate all their lands from foreign occupiers.

China excelled in its support to Syria since it was obvious that the Syrian government and the Syrian Arab Army managed to withstand the unprecedented war of terrorism and attrition waged against it by the US-led NATO-sponsored crime against humanity project dubbed the Arab Spring.

For the first time in its history, China would use its veto power at the United Nations Security Council to defend a country other than itself in its defense of Syria, and even it was not required to do so as Russia was already using its veto against the Libya 2.0 resolutions the NATO cheerleaders of wars and destruction continue to put forward at the council entrusted to preserve peace and security across the world not to justify foreign interventions.

President Bashar Al Assad might bring back with him some economic relief in the shape of investments in Syria's infrastructure which was badly damaged by the US-sponsored 'peaceful protesters' of Al Qaeda and ISIS, by Israel, and by other members of NATO including the USA, UK, France, and Turkey.

NATO Forces Stealing Syrian Rail and Stations

NATO forces of the US Army and its proxy Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists are dismantling and stealing the railway and railway stations in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor.

A statement by the Public Syria Railways Company said:

“The SDF militia continues to steal railways with its infrastructure, facilities, and equipment, in addition to locomotives, trucks, and machinery in the areas in which it is deployed in the governorates of Deir Ezzor and Al-Hasakah, including what was recently monitored.
The dismantling of the railway stations, starting with the passenger transport station in Al-Husseiniyah neighborhood and the freight station near the grain silos, all the way to Al-Tabiyah station, which was designated for transporting Conoco plant gas and was dismantled in November of 2021, and it stole materials, equipment, and railway stations under construction between Deir Ezzor and Al-Bukamal to connect with Iraq.”

The theft has been ongoing for a couple of years and continues in broad daylight, as if stealing Syrian oil, and food, and imposing strangling sanctions on the Syrian people is not enough for the 'Western Value' exporters.

We do know what the tasks assigned by the US consecutive juntas of Obama, Trump, and Biden to their forces illegally operating in Syria are, but we do not understand what benefit or interest their citizens and taxpayers gain from their criminal acts against the people of the world's oldest civilizations who never did any harm to the United States or any of its people?

Invaluable Interview with President Assad with Sky News Arabic

Syrian President Bashar Al Assad gave a very important interview to Sky News Arabic addressing pressing matters including the latest updates on the relationships between Syria and the estranged Arab world, members of the NATO 'defensive' alliance the USA and Turkey, the Israeli aggression, the economic situation, and obstacles hindering the return of the Syrian refugees, among other issues discussed.

The half an hour interview aired on the 9th of August, a first to a Gulf-based news outlet from Damascus, was on the second day of an Israeli bombing of Damascus's outskirts, a topic raised in the interview by the stunned reporter who was also curious about the ability of Syria not only to withstand the most vicious war of terror and war of attrition waged by more than half of the world on a small country but also to win the war.

You can find the video clip also on Rumble, BitChute, and YouTube, and the full transcript of the English translation on Syria News.

The delay in getting the interview ready is due to the lack of resources on my side to translate it and print the English subtitles on the video clip.

US Army Steals 35 Tankers of Syrian Oil

An additional convoy of 35 tankers loaded with stolen Syrian oil was part of a larger convoy comprising of US Army military trucks and refrigerated trucks was seen leaving Syria into neighboring Iraq.

The large convoy of 120 military vehicles was accompanied by 4 pick-up trucks loaded with Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists to guard the convoy.

Local sources said that many of the US military trucks were carrying damaged military gear; the damaged gear was covered all the way.

Stealing Syrian oil is a main objective of the US policy in the country for several reasons explained in the above video clip and in this report: Biden’s ‘Inclusive’ Junta Continues Stealing Syrian Oil.

Trump, Biden, Obama, George W. Bush, his father, Clinton, Reagan.. go all the way back for over a century, the US presidents of either party work for the same 'interest' groups in the USA, changing the faces has the same outcome on the US foreign policy.

Coincidentally, the US foreign policy serves the 'interests' of the donors of the US politicians who also happen to have the same interests as those behind project 'Israel'.

Biden Forces Continue Stealing Syrian Oil

45 new tankers carrying stolen Syrian oil were spotted by locals leaving in batches the Syrian oil fields in the northeast Syrian province of Hasakah and heading into neighboring Iraq.

The tankers accompanied by US Army armored vehicles and vehicles of their Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists crossed into the northern Iraq province of Kurdistan through the Mahmoudiyah illegal border crossing the US Army, the Kurdish SDF separatists, ISIS, and other terrorists use.

The theft of Syrian oil is a daily practice of the US Army supposedly in Syria to combat ISIS (ISIL - Daesh) except that ISIS was on the verge of defeat by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies before the US Army and its led 'coalition' interfered and revived the terrorist organization.

ISIS thrives near illegal US military bases, and the Syrian Army and Syrian security are fired at when in pursuit of these terrorists by the US Army!

Dozens of tankers loaded with Syrian oil extracted from Syrian oil fields are smuggled on daily bases to the US military base in northern Iraq and from there are distributed to Israel, ISIS, al Qaeda, the Kurdish SDF, and other terrorists the US sponsors their attacks and black-ops across the region.

Any time you hear of the US Army killing an ISIS terrorist in Syria is when the proclaimed terrorist dead is more beneficial for the US propaganda than being alive, or the ISIS terrorist felt he had enough wealth and decided to 'retire' with the spoils of his terrorism.

US-led NATO's Hegemony Pushes Iran Back Closer to Syria

Former 'reformist' Iranian ruling class failed to appease the US-led collective West despite not only agreeing to open up their nuclear facilities to the most scrutinized inspection by the IAEA international nuclear watchdog knowing well it's a tool used by the same West against countries needed to be subdued and totally ignoring countries and states doing the US's bid, like Israel, for instance, which continues to threaten and attack countries in West Asia, but Iran also went to the length of signing JCPOA, an international agreement approved by the United Nations Security Council.

A lunatic mad elected president of the USA simply tore away Iran's hope of rejoining the Western-dominated international community by tearing apart the JCPOA and the failure of the European lackeys to stand up to their commitments in this agreement hardened the Iranian stance in the region after receiving this harsh wake-up call.

And if tearing apart the JCPOA was not enough, madman Trump followed it up with the war crime of the decade assassinating the top Iranian general on a peace mission in a 3rd country leading to the blowing away of the last bases of the 'reformists' in Iran and forcing the country to pivot back to its policies it adopted since its 1979 revolution.

One of the main pillars of the Iranian pre-JCPOA and pre-Trump war crime of assassinating Iranian most revered army general was its role in what is known as the Axis of Resistance, founded and spearheaded by Syria with other factions joining like the Iraqi resistance led by the PMU, the Palestinian resistance (to Israeli occupation) factions, the Lebanese resistance headed by Hezb Allah, and the Yemeni Ansarullah (Houthis).

The main factor gluing the forces of the Axis of Resistance is resisting the US hegemony in the region, the Levant, Persia, and Arabia, West Asia, and extending to the Arab northern African countries.

Iran, under the former 'reformists', tried to distance itself a little at the beginning of the war on Syria and tried to appease the various parties waging the horrific war on Syria like the regime of the Turkish madman Erdogan, the shortly-lived anti-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood ruling of Egypt, and parts of the so-called Syrian opposition.

The Iranian 'reformists' went to the extent of giving advice to the Syrian leadership on how to accept the US-sponsored factions in Syria in a political solution, ie. to include elements of Al Qaeda and its offshoots in Syria's political and military structure.

It was only when Iran found, in a not-easy way, it was next on the menu of the US's hegemonic and demonic global policies that its 'hardliners' started regaining their powers in the country, the Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA, the malice policies of the Europeans, and the assassination of the Iranian army general leading to the election of Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi, along with the different Iranian army and paramilitary forces rebuilt their alliances away from appeasing the US-controlled 'collective West' and toward the best interests of the Iranian people and the peoples of the region, strengthening the military cooperation with Syria was one of the policies that helped Iran and Syria to some extent stand up to the US hegemony and rising up in short notice within its role as a regional superpower.

Assad Visits UAE after Russia, Syria is Back to the Regional Politics

After 12 years of the US-led failed regime change in Syria dubbed the Arab Spring using tens of thousands of anti-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood and Wahhabi terrorists to topple the Syrian government, conquer the country, divide it, and steal its resources, victorious Syria is restoring its proper position on the international stage starting from the region.

A couple of days apart, President Bashar Assad pays two official visits to superpower Russia and to GCC power UAE, in both visits, the Syrian president was accompanied by a large ministerial delegation; some of those who plotted and contributed to the US-led regime change op to oust him admitted defeat and accepting the reality.

In Russia, the Russians seem to finally understand that the Turkish madman Erdogan is not their best bet when it comes to the Levant, President Assad stated on Russian media after his summit with President Putin: There's no need to meet Erdogan without a Turkish pledge to withdraw from Syria.

Both the Russian and Iranian leaderships were exerting pressure on President Assad to accept a photo-op summit with the embattled Turkish madman Erdogan to help the latter get re-elected in the coming May presidential elections.

Because most of the Turkish problems, financial, political, and national security challenges stem from Erdogan's failure in the main role to oust President Assad, a meeting with Assad will give an impression to mainstream Turks that Erdogan is willing to solve their issues with neighboring Syria and restore Turkey's regional role.

After convincing the Russians and before them the Iranians of Syria's position and Syria's understanding of the hypocritical unreliable nature of Erdogan and the unfaithful verbal promises of the Turkish rulers, President Assad visited the United Arab Emirates and explained the same to its leaders.

In both of his visits, President Bashar Assad managed not only to push Syria's position and get it adopted by Russia and the UAE, but he also managed to get Syria back into the regional arena with both visited countries welcoming Syria's return to play its historical leading role in the Arab world, west Asia, and the eastern Mediterranean.
