A new report released by the Alma Research and Education Center has exposed new details about suspected efforts by the Iranian-led Shi’ite axis to build civilian support networks throughout south Syria. He added that this effort received a green light by a key figure who visited the area in 2018, named as Abu Al-Fadl Al Tabatabai, the personal adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei;
According to Tasnim News Agency, the representative of supreme leader Ali Khamenei in Syria, Abu al-Fadl al-Tabatabai, attended the celebration. The al-Sayeda Zainab region in Damascus witnessed marches and latamiyat (chanting and slapping one’s chest) by Iranian and Afghan fighters from Liwa Fatemiyoun on the occasion of Ashura on Sunday. The fighters held up pictures of former Quds Force commander, Qasem Soleimani, who was killed in a US airstrike in Iraq earlier this year, along with pictures of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei;
In southern Syria, the Iranians are working to create a new front close to Israel and to replicate the successful Iranian project of building Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, turning it into a military front;
“They want to entrench military infrastructure into civilian infrastructure like in southern Lebanon. All of this is based on a clear assumption that civilian infrastructure enables them to operate in a supportive environment—a kind of human shield,” he said;
“The Iranian-led Shi’ite axis sees southern Syria as a strategic area of paramount importance aimed at achieving the goal of exporting the Islamic revolution in terms of its civilian establishment. Achieving this objective will be an essential supportive instrument towards the advanced efforts of forming a military foundation, enabling the creation of a direct Iranian front against Israel from southern Syria,”;
“This civilian establishment of founding a foothold in southern Syria creates an active link with the local population to the ends of which is to create a dependence of the population on elements of the Shi’ite axis. This dependence produces sympathy. This sympathy enables the free action of Shi’ite axis elements inside and out of the local population.”;
