Iran has abandoned General Qassem Soleimani’s strategy of the “Axis of Resistance,” according to which Tehran helps and coordinates all the independent armed groups fighting against the colonization of the region. It refused to help Lebanon during the Israeli invasion, then a faction in power transmitted to Israel the coordinates of the main military leaders of Hezbollah so that they could be assassinated.
Simultaneously, Tehran and Tel Aviv staged their antagonism, both pretending to be ready for a decisive fight. However, the two Iranian attacks (Operation "Honest Promise" of April 13 and October 1) and the two Israeli attacks (of April 19 and October 26) caused almost no human damage, even if the military of both sides took advantage of it to test the defenses of the adversary [3]. A secret agreement between Washington, Tehran and Tel Aviv became evident.
On the other hand, Tehran renewed ties with the Iraqi Kurds. President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Iraq in September to meet not only with the Talabani tribe, but also with the Barzani (pro-Israeli).
Imam Ali Khamenei’s statements against Benjamin Netanyahu fail to make us forget his de facto alliance with Israel
In Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, spiritual leader of the Shiite community, spoke out to deliver a confused message showing that he no longer knew what to expect from the Islamic Republic.
n Yemen, Ansar Allah, convinced of the Iranian turnaround, has taken steps to protect its leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, from the fate of Hassan Nasrallah.
In Turkey, as usual, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is exploring the various options available to him, without committing himself here or there. He, who was slowly getting closer to his Syrian counterpart, has authorized arms deliveries to the jihadists of Idlib so that they can resume the fight against the Syrian Arab Republic. At the same time, he has sent emissaries to discuss with Abdullah Öcalan, the founder of the PKK imprisoned since 1999. Whatever the talks, it is unlikely that “Apo” will support NATO and Israel as his movement does today.
Iran’s U-turn and Turkey’s double game suddenly put an end to the euphoria of the BRICS summit in Kazan a month ago [4].
In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad immediately supported the Lebanese and its Hezbollah allies when they were abandoned by Iran. Historically, Lebanon is only a governorate of Syria, and from his point of view, Syria is responsible for the security of the Lebanese. He therefore both gave asylum to hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing Israeli bombings and transferred the few weapons he had to Hezbollah.
In response, the IDF destroyed all the roads and bridges providing access to Lebanon, then with NATO, they unleashed the jihadists of Idlib on Aleppo, of which they took and occupied a large part. The city was defended by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who withdrew without fighting.
To everyone’s surprise, the jihadists in Idlib have the latest weapons, financed by Qatar, and a host of drones operated by Ukrainian operators.
The underlying aim sayeth the control freaks is not to win the war, but to use the conflict to create a constant state of destabilized perception in order to manage and control.
Good lord. Where do you get your sources from? Thierry Meyssan knows nothing about the current situation. I have no doubt that 9/11 was an inside job but that is old, old news. I said that WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING. What are his sources for this ridiculous propaganda about Iran withdrawing from the fight in Syria and helping Tel Aviv behind the scenes? You don't understand ANYTHING about the current situation in the Middle East if you believe any of that hogwash. Iran was supporting the Palestinians before anyone else. They supported the Palestinians even under the Shah. However, they are the new big kid on the block and they need to think strategically and long-term to avoid being nuked out of existence. Israel is no challenge to Iran (although it used to be, before the US sanctions forced Iran to become self-sufficient). They also had their leadership assassinated, in case you weren't paying attention. Care to guess who was behind those murders? If you doubted that at the time, consider the pager attack in Lebanon and think about what happened to the President's helicopter on his way from Baku to Tabriz. He was clearly assassinated by Mossad. The new leader is a moderate and has limited experience--okay, NO experience--in war with Israel or the US, for that matter. Iran has been planning and preparing for this show-down for many decades. All these other players are backed and funded and armed by the US UK and many are making ridiculous deals with Israel, which shall no longer exist in only a few years on the outside.
WHY you are repeating this psyops propaganda? If you want to know what's happening in Syria (or Iran, for that matter) stop relying on Westerners to tell you the truth. Listen to the Syrians on the ground, Lebanese on the ground, Iranians on the ground, Russians behind the scenes. Even the Saudis are refusing to sign military deals with the US. Israel's economy has been decimated, partly by the Yemenis--God bless them--and partly by their own right wing which they are stupid enough not to stop. Israel will not recover from this and not because of anti-Semitism. They are committing suicide. Their hatred of others and ethnocentrism will kill them. This is a lesson ALL Western countries need to learn. Fast.
There are a lot of very smart and experienced people in the alternative journalism community. I suggest you listen to them. Not Zionist propagandists, American ignoramuses, and French narcissists. Are you aware of all the things the French have done to this region? Do you know who the Maronites are? What role have they played in the past? Do you understand how the Kurds have been used (by the CIA) against the Shah, Saddam Hussein, Bashir Al-Assad (and his father), Turkey, etc. for the past--oh, 60-70 years? This is not new. The Kurds need to stop allowing themselves to be used by people who will never help them create their own homeland. Do you understand who authored the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel? Do you know how is funding the Lebanese Army? Do you know who funded the massacres at Sabra and Shatilla? Do you KNOW Israel never followed the ceasefire of 2006?
It's so useful when you have various peoples in the Middle East who will help you mindlessly if you just promise that after THIS war has succeeded, they will get their own country. OMG. How repetitious this all is. Learn some Middle Eastern History (written by NON-Westerners).
No, Frances. You do not understand what is going on. You are following the wrong Pied Piper. I would laugh but I'm too tired to. I wish to hell Westerners would education themselves and stop thinking they know better than their little brown brothers. You don't.
Frances, you ask for feedback and I was shocked that you are spreading such ridiculous and obvious propaganda. Try to hear what I am telling you. You are being used.
Feedback and opinions are very welcome. Sneering and abusive attitudes are not. Is that clear?
I provided five sources of analysis of the very complex situation in the Middle East. You chose to contend with ONE SENTENCE within ONE of the reports I featured. You did not address the rest of the work I have assembled here. Are you saying that all of it is propaganda? If so, please provide alternative analysis for comparison rather than abuse me. Thank you.
Here are links to three interviews I recommend you watch. The situation is extremely fluid and very complicated. If you do not have much background in the region's history--especially European countries' colonialism there--it is difficult to understand what is going on. For background, I am an American citizen and have been since birth. But I was born and raised in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran and educated there, which included a lot of Middle Eastern History. Plus, by chance, as I was growing up I witnessed a lot of recent history between the colonizing West and my adopted homelands in the Middle East. I care a lot about Syria, but equally I care about Lebanon and Iran. And Palestine. So it is very crazy-making to hear well-meaning--I grant you that--Westerners falling for propaganda. I would like to respond to your post point by point but really do not have the time right now.
However, I recommend you watch these three interviews:
As Kevork states, there is a well-prepared, overwhelming propaganda machine in place about what's going on right now. Don't buy into it.
Turkey and Qatar are in cahoots with US/UK/Israel. Russia is mad as hell, as is Iran (though Iran has never entirely trusted Turkey). The Chinese support the Syrians. It is not over until the Fat Lady sings, as we all know. I think she's still in her dressing room. This may presage the end of Erdogan. I hope so. He's a terrible two-faced opportunist.
I just learned that in the West the pro-Palestinian demonstrators are waving the FRENCH MANDATE FLAG OF SYRIA! I'll bet these Westerners have no idea what the French Mandate of Syria really was. Why should they? Their schools do not teach this stuff. In fact, they teach very little Middle Eastern history.
The "rebels" in Syria are Al Qaeda and Isis whom the US/UK have been arming, training, funding, protecting. This is nuts.
I am completely baffled. You do not disagree with any of the reports I have included in my post! Nothing you say contends with the analysis I have shared! I think that you really do not have the time, as you point out and did not actually listen to the videos or read the articles with any thoroughness. You just chose to wade in here ABUSING ME because YOU ASSUMED that my post was inaccurate. How damned rude and insulting!
Reading the comment to which you replied, I was thinking…a great deal of Parker’s take was actually covered in the 2 video links at the end of your post!?
Btw, thanks for the YouTube links. Larry Johnson and Scott Ritter do a good job covering not only the current situation by how we got there
palastine is where the original (christian) people reside, it is no wonder the devil is after them and gives a rats about law and order, this is the spiritual battle that was documented a few thousand years ago, these synagogue of satan minions are playing out their role in the bible and their desperation is showing through in the last 4 years to claim as many souls as possible into darkness rather than the pure light of creator and sovereign rule. i pray that the spirit of jesus christ touches upon these terrorists and they have no option but to lay down their arms and drop to their knees in repentance. the time is nigh..
Excellent, insightful post, it's a disgrace or beyond words really what is happening there, the attrocites are vast. Destroying the ancient monuments like ISIS did, but never touched the Israeli pipe lines.
Can we begin to count the operations, covert, overt that this country has been assigned by the colonisers? Too numerous and they've gone on for decades. It appears to be a sped up version of what they are planning for the western countries in their takedown to reset so as to never let the country return to what it once was at it's best and even not so best times. So curious to hear what majority of Israeli people are feeling. Thanks Francis. Am I subscribed? I'll check. I think so.
Frances Leader, my sincere apologies - brain fade at my end - I guess its processing of the perfidy couldn't keep up with my reading rate ... I feel very foolish, now.

Candace Owens is making a distinct effort to educate on the war machine today!
She seems to have a clear understanding from her exclusively Christian perspective.

Appreciate the material!
To headline the chosen fate of the "promised land" ...Israel, you are surrounded.
Succinct and clear. It would be good to have sources, too.
Frances Leader, my sincere apologies - brain fade at my end - I guess its processing of the perfidy couldn't keep up with my reading rate ... I feel very foolish, now.
I understand and have overlooked details like that myself a few times. Information overload numbs my synapses too!
Thank you for understanding, Frances.
Sources are provided!
Thank you so much for this hypersonic tour-de-force through history and region in constant artificial fatal troubles ...
...thanks Frances, haven't read any of Thierry's work for some time, however he's very good on the topics i've read before, read this later...
My pleasure! It needed doing! xx
