Horizon of protests against al-Julani’s leadership
Understanding the killing of the terrorist “Abu Maria Al-Qahtani” requires a thorough examination of this article, which outlines forthcoming developments in the region controlled by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham. The article is authored by Issam Khoury, Senior Advisor for the Levant at the Czech-Slovak Institute of Oriental Studies.
Likelihood of Ground Incursions
The article discusses rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding potential Israeli ground operations against Hezbollah, the Syrian regime, and Iranian forces. It mentions recent events like Israel detonating a minefield, Hezbollah using drones, and Iraqi militias coordinating attacks with Hezbollah against Israel. The article also touches on possible U.S. support for Israel and its implications for regional stability, highlighting potential consequences for Syrian and Lebanese governance and Iranian influence. It suggests that an Israeli invasion of Syria could have significant regional ramifications, challenging Iran’s goals in the region.
The horizon of American strikes on Shiite militias
Researcher Issam Khoury outlines Iran’s historical involvement in regional conflicts and recent escalations, such as Hamas attacks on Israeli settlements. In response, the Biden administration conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian-affiliated groups, signaling a readiness to confront indirect Iranian influence.
The article suggests strategies for Washington, including expanding airstrikes on the Syrian-Iraqi border and supporting Arab groups to counter Iranian proxies. It references the “Parallel Zones Project” as a potential framework for restoring stability in the region.
Is Iranian Revenge Real or Just Noise?
The United States understood Iran’s message and prepared 1500 soldiers for training in Texas, in preparation for sending them to Iraq and Syria to enhance the American presence in a region filled with events and disturbances. On January 17, 2024, the Houthi group (SDGT) was included in the terrorism lists, after the US Treasury had removed this classification from them on February 12, 2021. This indicates that the Biden administration intersects with the new Republican hawks represented by figures like Joel D. Rayburn when it comes to US national security. Undoubtedly, this action will have an impact on many decisions of the White House and the Democratic Party administration before the start of the US elections in November 2024.
