Trying to recapture what they had with Assad. And in doing so, they give another indication of the Islamic character of these conflicts, which everyone steadfastly ignores.
“Iran establishes new terrorist organization in Syria: ‘The Islamic Resistance,’” Israel Hayom, March 5, 2025:
Iran’s “Mehr” news agency announced on Wednesday morning the establishment of a new terrorist organization named “The Islamic Resistance in Syria.” The organization was founded “in light of the recent developments Syria has witnessed,” according to the report.
In a statement released by the group, it said, “This step is a natural and legitimate response to confront the attempts at division and displacement that the country has endured.” The statement was accompanied by a logo resembling those of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah, featuring a raised hand holding a rifle.
The statement declared that the organization aims to represent all sects in Syria and focus on “defending security and territorial integrity.” It further noted that the group was established due to “the absence of the political and social forces that previously managed Syria,” referencing the collapse of the Assad regime in December. The organization emphasized that its goal is “to defend Syria from occupation and to unite and stand against falsehood.”
In early February, the Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper “Al-Akhbar” reported that a group calling itself “The Syrian Resistance” had announced its operations against Israel and Islamist government forces in Damascus. The group referred to these forces as “the gangs of al-Jolani,” referencing the nickname of Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa….

So essentially, it’s the Syrian edition of Hizbullah, right? Well, good luck: they’ll have no support from the Christians or Druze the way the Assads did, and the Alawites too may decide that HTS is tough enough, w/o Israel too being out to destroy them
Other thing I’m left wondering: will this militia be operating in hostile territory in Syria, or will it just be based in Iran? If Iran has the slightest sense, they’d pull Hizbullah completely out of Lebanon, and ask them to join their new outfit in Syria

Remember folks, the same warmongers who are hell bent on pounding the war drums in Ukraine until the last Ukrainian assumes room temperature are the ones who funded the “rebels” who ousted Bashar al-Assad. Their resume also includes our debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not exactly. The rebels who ousted Assad were backed exclusively by Turkey. Western countries were largely neutral, although now, the European countries have started recognizing the HTS regime in Damascus
Our idiots did a lot of stupid things, including pretending that Turkey is an ally. But backing the ouster of Assad wasn’t one of them
