An Iranian analyst published the following post last weekend: Following Bashar al-Assad's fall and the severed ties between Iran and Lebanon, alongside feelings of betrayal from the Palestinians and their joy over Syria's "liberation," there is a possibility that Iran will gradually begin to withdraw from its involvement in the Palestinian project. 

The Iranian regime may focus on its core issues, as the loyal organizations and proxy forces it established are not strong enough to confront organized armies like Israel's. 

While these groups may be effective for small-scale operations, the era of proxies is ending, and they no longer represent a viable strategic tool.

IRANIAN MISMANAGEMENT OF SYRIA

The situation in Syria is the result of more than seven years of mismanagement. Israeli attacks, mostly tactical, have had significant strategic repercussions, gradually weakening the resistance axis and leading to the loss of key figures in the resistance movements.

The United States has also contributed to the situation with heavy sanctions and support for armed groups, but the Iranian regime's misguided strategy and internal conflicts in Syria have rendered the resistance weaker. After the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the situation worsened, allowing Israel to operate in Syria with no response from the axis.

Syria's collapse brings the threat closer to the heart of Iran. However, it may open a new operational space that allows for independent military responses.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA SHOULD LEAD TO A REEVALUATION OF IRANIAN MILITARY DOCTRINE

The Middle East is entering a new phase, facing diverse challenges: extreme Sunni movements from the east, terrorists along the southeastern border, and actions from Turkey in the north.

The collapse of Iranian influence in Syria opens a new chapter for Israel and the region, where the Iranian axis no longer holds firm control. The future depends on strategic changes and the ability to address new security challenges.
