Syria has been liberated from the bloody Baath regime. After the civil war, in which the opposition emerged victorious, the bloody rule of the Assad family came to an end. While there is curiosity about what the new government's policies will be, Iran, which established close relations with Bashar Assad during the 13 years of civil war, also suffered heavy losses. "WE HAVE LOST ABOUT 6 THOUSAND MARTYRS"The Iranian Parliament held a closed session to discuss the developments in Syria following the overthrow of Tehran's most important ally, Bashar Assad. Speaking to Iran Observer on the matter, MP Mohammad Menan Reisi stated that the events were a surprise for them. Reisi said, "We have lost about 6 thousand martyrs, spent billions, and then handed over Syria to extremists within a week." THEY ALSO SUFFERED HEAVY LOSSES IN IRAQThe Iranian state refuses to publish any official statistics regarding the humanitarian and material costs of its military intervention in Syria. The only figure announced by an official so far is from 2017, when the head of the Iranian Martyrs Organization, Mohammad Ali Shahidi, stated that 2,100 Iranian soldiers had been killed in Syria and Iraq... THEY SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING, BUT...Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the intelligence services of Iran and Syria were aware of the movements in Idlib and conveyed this information to the Syrian government, saying, "What was unexpected was the inadequacy of the Syrian army and the speed of developments. Bashar Assad was also complaining about the performance of his army. It seems that the Syrian army has succumbed to a psychological war." IRAN HAS NO MILITARY PRESENCE LEFT IN SYRIAOn the other hand, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, Hossein Salami, announced that there is no longer any armed presence of Iran in Syria following the collapse of the Assad regime.
