Iran’s military presence in Syria has been abruptly dismantled, with forces fleeing and leaving behind sensitive documents and equipment. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had built a significant presence in the country, but it appears that their withdrawal was chaotic and unplanned.
The remnants of Iran’s military expansion in Syria, including abandoned bases and tunnels, are now in ruins. The new authorities in Syria have banned Iranian nationals from entering the country, reflecting a shift in policy towards Iran. The future of Iran’s relationship with Syria remains uncertain, with Tehran’s officials sending contradictory signals about their intentions.
