Iran's Role in the Syrian Conflic

Iran has significantly supported the Syrian government in the civil war, aiding Bashar al-Assad's regime to maintain power. This support has included deploying military forces directly and backing proxy groups such as Hezbollah. Iranian forces and affiliated militias have actively participated in battles against Syrian opposition forces, including the Free Syrian Army. This intervention has not only intensified the crisis in Syria but also escalated regional tensions and complicated international efforts to achieve peace. Iran's actions in Syria have been criticized globally for supporting a dictatorial regime and undermining democratic opposition, contributing to the prolongation and severity of the conflict.
