Syria: Betrayal or a trap for the West?
the evidence is damning but I am so hoping it is a trap for Usrael (and Erdogan) 🙏
First, I do not mean to offend anyone. I am going to compile all of this and allow people to form their own opinion. One minute I am livid and convinced this was a betrayal and the next my heart wants to believe this was a trap and there are still some good guys in the world (besides Yemen and the Iraqi PMF).
I am of the opinion that there was some kind of back room deal between Iran, Russia, and Turkey (maybe USA as well).
I have been a basket case since Syria fell and have been researching this endlessly. I am not ignoring Palestine, however, with the fall of Syria and Hezbollah agreeing to a one sided ceasefire there is not much hope for Palestine. I choose not to watch the slaughter without any hope of stopping it. It is beyond obvious the US and it’s vassals have destroyed international law and no one is safe now.
flashback to 2018 when Putin and Rouhani left terrorist strongholds in Syria
Meeting with President of Iran Hassan Rouhani and President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Speech at the meeting with President of Iran Hassan Rouhani and President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: President Rouhani, President Erdogan, colleagues,
First, I would like to thank Mr Rouhani for the invitation to hold our trilateral meeting here in Tehran to discuss further joint steps by Turkey, Iran and Russia related to Syria.
Let me note that the decisions made at the previous summits of the states–guarantors of the Astana process are being successfully implemented.
We have made substantive progress in providing long-term normalisation in Syria. The stronghold of terrorism has almost been eradicated. More than 95 percent of Syrian territory has been liberated, 141 residential areas.
Currently, the remaining extremist groups are concentrated in the de-escalation zone in Idlib province.
(I have troves of documents regarding Erdogan’s terrorist behavior in Syria and Ukraine. I will just leave them out of this post so not to make it too lengthy)
Ayatollah Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi was the eighth president of Iran who was elected to run the country in the 13th presidential election in 2021. Raisi was martyred on Sunday (May 19, 2024) in a helicopter crash that happened due to technical failure while returning from Khoda Afarin Dam to Tabriz Oil Refinery. Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Friday Prayers leader of the city of Tabriz Mohammad Ali Al-e Hashem, East Azarbaijan Governor Malek Rahmati, Mehdi Mousavi, the head of Raisi’s bodyguard team, and pilots and flight crew were also martyred in the incident.
I am now of the opinion this was no accident.
15 October 2024 (after the murder of Nasrallah and Hezbollah commanders whose locations/security had been compromised 💡)
We knew that HTS was preparing to again attack Syria
The CIA-backed terrorists from the "Saad bin Abi Waqas" Brigade, affiliated with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, have released a video showing them preparing for a major assault on Syrian Arab Army positions. This offensive is clearly designed to divert Syrian forces, paving the way for Israel’s potential expansion of the war into Syria.
Civilians wounded in Israeli aggression on Syria's Latakia: Source
17 October 2024
A Syrian military source confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces launched an airstrike on a site near the southeastern entrance of the city of Latakia on Wednesday, injuring several civilians and causing significant material damage to the targeted area.
The source did not provide further details on the specific site targeted but confirmed the extent of the damage and injuries. This latest incident follows a series of Israeli attacks on Syrian territory.
Russia expressed deep concerns over the Israeli occupation's military operations in Syria, with the Russian ambassador to "Israel" voicing Moscow's alarm at the continued Israeli strikes, which have escalated in recent weeks.
Just last week, Israeli forces carried out strikes on industrial areas in Homs' Hassia district and a military site in Hama.
"Israel" has regularly conducted airstrikes in Syria, which frequently result in civilian casualties and damage.

President Bashar al-Assad's POWERFUL Speech on Gaza & Lebanon | Syriana Analysis
27 November 2024 One sided ceasefire agreement Lebanon
Israel realized they cannot beat Hezbollah (because of Syria). Israel’s plan B: Pause Lebanon takeover. Neutralize Assad (thereby weakening Hezbollah). Then attack Lebanon again, much easier takeover with Syria out of the way.
Netanyahu tells Assad “he’s playing with fire in rearming Hezbollah” and hours later Israel’s Alqaeda puppets are attacking the government in Idlib. If you don’t stand with Syria, you stand with Israel.

'Target is Damascus,' Erdogan hopes 'smooth march' on Syria's capital
7 December 2024
They offered Assad to stay on in a transitional period before handing the Syrian gov’t over to a Zionist friendly admin. Assad said no and I do not blame him. 13.5 years of terror and sanctions and then hand over Syria to Erdogan and his terrorist lot.
A meeting is being held in the Qatari capital, Doha, between Turkey, Russia and Iran , represented by their foreign ministers in the "Astana format", in an attempt to find a political and peaceful way out of the crisis in Syria.
The meeting took place in Qatar who spent billions trying to overthrow Assad.
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Iran, Turkey and Russia issued a joint statement on Saturday regarding the situation in Syria, warning that the continuation of the crisis there is a “dangerous development for the country and security, regionally and internationally.”
The statement of the Arab countries and the "Astana track" indicated that the Syrian crisis "requires seeking a political solution that leads to the cessation of military operations", and that this cessation should be a prelude to "launching a comprehensive political process".
The last time I am aware that Assad was actually seen …
Larijani Meets Assad, Conveys Iran's Support for Syria Against Militants: Informed Source
Ali Larijani, an advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus to convey the Islamic Republic’s support for the Syrian government amid an offensive by militant forces.
An informed source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Press TV website on Saturday that the meeting took place in the Syrian capital on Friday.
Meanwhile, a senior Iranian legislator roundly dismissed allegations about the closure of the country’s embassy in Syria and evacuation of its personnel as well as military advisors from Damascus, stressing that the diplomats and commanders are still in the Arab country..
“We have not evacuated our advisors and embassy [staff]. They are present in Damascus,” Yaqoub Rezazadeh, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said on Saturday.
He expressed hope that the diplomatic endeavors, which kicked off the previous day with a visit by Larijani to Syria as well as trips by Iranian Foreign Ministry officials to Iraq and Qatar would yield satisfactory results.
Rezazadeh also denied reports that President Assad's family had departed Syria. “The news that Assad and his family left Syria is not true.”
“Dr. Larijani met with him (President Assad) in Damascus yesterday,” the top Iranian lawmaker stated.
Rezazadeh voiced concern over the unfolding developments in Syria, saying, “Negotiations have been held with the Russian government. Political and diplomatic measures have also been undertaken with the countries neighboring Syria like Turkey and Iraq as well as Russia, which has special interests in Syria.”
Earlier on Saturday, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that the country’s diplomatic mission in Damascus is operating normally.
Esmaeil Baghaei unequivocally rejected claims about the evacuation of Iran’s embassy in Damascus.
“Those claims are not true. Iran’s embassy (in Damascus) is still operating and continues with its routine activities,” he pointed out.
Foreign-backed militants led by the Hay’at Tahrir al-Shams (HTS) group carried out a surprise assault in the Aleppo and Idlib countryside last month and overran several villages and towns before entering Aleppo on November 27.
Israel has been the principal supporter of militant groups that oppose the democratically-elected government of President Assad since the foreign-backed militancy erupted in Syria.

The new “Syrian government forces” (former rebels) arrived in Tartus and everything is peaceful.
Looks like they do not intend to confront the Russian military base.
Previously the Russian foreign ministry confirmed talks with the rebel forces.
8 December 2024
SAA officers received instructions from what looked to be coming from the Russian ‘Reconciliation Center’ aka Russian command center in Syria and from the Syrian military command ordering them to peacefully handover their posts without a fight.

Anyone who can explain why Assad's pre-recorded farewell speech and possible explanation of the catastrophic events was not aired, as planned, after he left the country, please get in touch.
All the backstabbers who are now turning against Assad, protecting their interests - you were in a position to say something for 14 years. Why didn't you?

I am going to leave out all the mass executions and terror taking place in Syria. We all know the events are happening.
For a complete timeline of events and executions I suggest (be warned there are some very graphic videos at links)
Former Mossad agent Mordechai Kedar gives HTS terrorists his seal of approval:
I am in contact with senior figures of Tahrir al-Sham; they are good friends of Israel and should be supported!
Tahrir al-Sham plans to open israeli embassies in Damascus and Beirut, and also open a Syrian embassy in Jerusalem!
Israel is considered a solution for them, not a problem!

TUNIS, December 11. /TASS/. The new Syrian authorities will evaluate the future of Russia’s military bases in the Arab republic from the viewpoint of the benefits and interests of the Syrian people, Mohammed Alloush, a prominent Syrian politician and former head of the opposition delegation at the Syria talks in Geneva and Astana, told a TASS correspondent.

New Syrian constitution to be drafted within 6 months: Turkish media
12 December 2024
The Syrian army didn’t run, they were ordered to stand down. They claim that they didn’t “want to fight” is a lie. They gave 170,000 men to this cause not to mention the injured. Here a soldier says “We were ordered to retreat from Homs we were sold out”. Anyone disparaging them, who never held a gun in their lives, shame on you.
The Syrian army in Hama and Homs,
He says “I come to assure we have everything under control against the armed groups”.
They controlled the area but were all ordered to give the land up to HTS. Why?
It is not over in Syria yet, part of the Syrian army will continue to fight. Former officers and soldiers of the SAA 25th Special Mission Forces Division (Tiger Forces) have gathered themselves in mountainous areas near the Lebanese border, vowing to keep fighting.
They say they have fought against terrorists for years, and will continue to do so, despite the 'betrayal' of the SAA high command. They will start fighting as resistance groups to the incoming HTS / SNA government.
The commander in the video says they are ready to sacrifice themselves, he even says they have suicide bombers among them and that his pistol's last bullet will be for his head (he won't let himself be captured).
They have also replaced their chant. Instead of saying: 'Our souls, our blood, we sacrifice for Bashar', they now say 'our souls, our blood, we sacrifice for Syria'.
Some of the Syrian soldiers from the 25th armoured division refused orders to stand down and kept fighting.
Diplomacy traps can be more dangerous than the threats of war, as Iranian politician Saeed Jalili has recently expressed. War traps, however, can sometimes yield remarkable outcomes. In fact, the major achievements accomplished at the national level have often been due to war traps. War demands great leaders who possess the resolve matching the cause they represent.
Iran has extensive experience dealing with Western deceit and barriers. However, those who are likely to be deceived by the West’s blatant tricks are not capable of implementing its Leader's directives. Late President Raisi exemplifies a leader of this caliber, "A believer is not stung from the same hole twice." If figures like Soleimani and others were still active, the outcome would have likely been different.
Let me know what you think in comments please, betrayal or trap?
