Welcome back to Political Lenses with international relations expert Dr. Omar Abdul Sattar—political analyses of events affecting the regional and global scene. • Political Lenses ───── Don't miss watching yesterday's video: • SDF announces its readiness to join the army... ???? • Reasons and repercussions of the uprising of Iran's followers in Syria • Iran wants the regime that will not remain to remain to explode in Syria and Iraq. Syria today is not Syria 15 years ago because of the explosive barrels of Assad, Iran and Russia, which are in dire need of reconstruction. As for the real reasons for the uprising of Iran's followers: We say Iran because Araji, Khamenei and even al-Sudani incited it in one way or another a few days ago. Why is Iran doing this? First, there is a trend among Sharia that any root of the counter-revolution must be amputated, whether it is from former global jihadists or current global jihadists who follow Iran. Perhaps Sharia was prepared for this uprising, so it broke its back and broke its head on 12-25-2024. Yesterday, an unprecedented video of an attack on the shrine of Abu Abdullah al-Hasibawi, al-Khasibawi or al-Janbalai in the Aleppo countryside spread. It was published by Iranian militias, although it occurred on the first days of the liberation of Aleppo. Nothing happened to the shrine, but the videos were published with the voices of Iran's followers rising in more than one place from Homs to the coast. Here, al-Sudani and before him Soleimani said that any attack on the holy sites could reflect on Iraq, which means that the shrine of al-Kadhim in Kadhimiya or al-Hussein in Karbala could witness what Soleimani did to the shrine of Abu al-Hassan al-Askari in Samarra in February 2006. That is, Iran is preparing to ignite Iraq, perhaps more than igniting Syria. Here is Hadi al-Amiri giving a speech in Mosul in 2024, just as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi gave a speech in 2014. We know for certain that Ahmed al-Sharaa is leading an international context for a deep Arab Sunni Umayyad state, perhaps for the next thousand years. They are working hard for a deep state and the international community, however, including Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Egypt. Yes, even Egypt is with this trend, as God Almighty has provided an opportunity to uproot Safavid Shiism at the hands of al-Sharaa. The same can be said about the Emirates and Riyadh, as it is an unprecedented historical achievement. The Alawites knew that Bashar’s years have passed and that they will not participate in a state of citizenship with weapons outside the framework of the existing Arab Sunni Umayyad state. Yes, at the beginning, al-Sharaa announced a policy of tolerance and that there were settlements. The first nine days were for gathering information. But the last six days were for flattery for anyone who had a weapon and did not make a settlement, and after the investigation, he may receive his punishment. Three days ago, three Alawite judges were killed. They had sentenced 20,000 Sunnis to death. God is great. They knew that there is no forgiveness, so they rose up. If an Alawite rises up, he will be crushed, and that's what happened. This is Homs, after 9 pm everything is over and Tartous is on its way. The new Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Sheibani threatened to ride your best horses, and let those who do not want to understand understand that the new Syrian state will not have political peace or democracy, and the country will not be stable except by serving the people. This is the context of the new Syria. Whoever wants to support Iran, let him do so, and whoever wants to support the success of the revolution, let him do so. ???? • Causes and Consequences of the Iranian Loyalists' Uprising in Syria • .Iran wants to preserve a regime that cannot survive, leading to its explosions in both Syria and Iraq Syria Today Syria is no longer what it was 15 years ago, devastated by Assad's barrel bombs, Iran's interference, and Russia's explosive intervention. The country is now in dire need of reconstruction. The Iranian loyalists' uprising, provoked by figures like Khamenei and Sudani, was crushed on December 25, 2024. Iran's aim is to eliminate counter-revolutionary threats, including jihadists. A video showing an attack on Abu Abdullah al-Husaybawi's shrine in Aleppo, spread by Iranian militias, fueled tensions, with unrest rising in areas like Homs and the coast. Sudani warned of repercussions in Iraq, echoing Soleimani's 2006 actions in Samarra. Iran appears ready to ignite Iraq more than Syria. Hadi al-Amiri's 2024 Mosul speech mirrored al-Baghdadi's 2014 address. Ahmad al-Shara' is leading efforts to establish a Sunni Arab Umayyad state supported by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt. Alawites now see Bashar's era ending, rejecting coexistence under Sunni rule or armed opposition to the new state. The New Syria Al-Shara' announced initial tole
