SHARA: WE HAVE SECURED SYRIA'S FUTURE FOR 50 YEARS
Ahmed Shara, the leader of the interim administration in Syria, gave an interview to Saudi Arabia's al-Arabiya television. In the interview, Shara made striking statements. Noting that the region was on the brink of a major war recently, Shara said that with the fall of Assad, Syria and the Gulf have been secured for the next 50 years.
"ISRAEL WAS PLANNING TO OCCUPY BEFORE THE REGIME FELL"
Shara, who claimed that Israel was planning to enter the country before the regime's fall and that Iran would intervene afterward, stated, "This stage was very important regionally. The region was going to be exposed to a large global war. We are talking about a regional attack and the possibility of Syria being attacked at this stage."
"A REGIONAL WAR INVOLVING TURKEY AND IRAN WOULD HAVE ERUPTED"
Shara noted that if they did not take action from Idlib, Iran could increase its presence in the region by shifting its forces from Iraq to Syria, saying, "Iran would send its forces from Iraq to Syria." He added that this situation could extend to Turkey's borders, stating, "If we had not taken control of Damascus, Israel would have attacked Syria, and there would have been a regional war involving Turkey and Iran. We prevented a regional war against Israel."
