The Syrian regime's refusal to separate from the resistance axis reveals its willingness to risk turning Syria into a new battlefield
Syrian regime's Foreign Minister, Bassam Al-Sabbagh, ruled out any possibility of separating Damascus from the resistance axis, confirming growing relations with Tehran, in a position that raises fears of expanding confrontation with Israel to include the Syrian arena.
During his meeting with Iranian President Masoud Bezeshkian in Tehran, Al-Sabbagh conveyed Syrian regime president Bashar Al-Assad's greetings, calling for deepening cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
The regime's Foreign Minister emphasized that resistance is the only option to confront what he called the "American-Zionist project" to change the region's map, stressing that changing circumstances cannot affect the alliance between Damascus and Tehran.

These statements coincided with the Iranian President's confirmation of his country's commitment to supporting its allies, calling for Islamic countries' unity to face what he described as "Zionist entity crimes" in the region.
Iranian Supreme Leader's advisor, Ali Velayati, emphasized the necessity of strengthening the resistance front, considering that enhancing relations between Tehran and Damascus serves this strategic goal.
This escalation in political discourse comes at a time when the region is witnessing mounting tension, with the ongoing war in Gaza and exchanged shelling on the Lebanese-Israeli border.
These developments raise concerns about Syria's potential joining the confrontation arena, especially given the history of repeated Israeli raids on Syrian territory targeting Iran-affiliated sites and facilities.
Analysts view that the Syrian regime's insistence on deepening its alliance with Iran may push Israel to expand its military operations to include Syrian territory, in an attempt to prevent it from becoming a base for launching attacks against Israeli targets.
