FARAAN: The relations between Iran and Syria at the economic, cultural and military levels have continuously grown and developed over several decades until it has reached this level of strategic relations and has become an excellent example of advanced and privileged relations between the two countries. And the decisive factor in the region has increased as these relations have become more important.
Analysis of the day:
There is no doubt that the Syrian crisis in 2011 is a turning point in the commercial, economic and military relations between Tehran and Damascus. From the very first days of the crisis, Iran realized the size of the conspiracy and its main goal, which is to break the axis of resistance or target its main base in Syria and its resistant government and weaken the power of this country against the Zionist regime. Therefore, the Islamic Republic of Iran did not hesitate to provide any kind of economic, financial, advisory and military assistance to Syria to neutralize the international conspiracy against this country. This was done with the aim of providing support in the fight against terrorism and economic support to resist the Western sanctions.
With the start of the attack on Syria in 2011, Iran entered the region next to Syria and sent its military advisers to this country, and they played an important role in the fight against terrorist groups that are acting on behalf of the Zionist regime, the West, and the United States from all sides.
At the economic level, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the economic relations between the two countries have seen significant progress, especially during the war imposed by the Saddam regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Economic relations between the two countries reached their peak between 2000 and 2010.
In March 1982, a high-ranking Syrian delegation arrived in Iran to develop economic and political cooperation, and a series of trade and oil agreements were signed between the two countries as the first such agreements after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. In the second decade, on September 24, 1990, the two sides agreed to establish joint ventures in various fields of investment.
With the beginning of the crisis in Syria, the economic cooperation between the two countries took newer forms and Iran began to provide all kinds of aid to Syria during the war. Moreover, the economic relations between the two countries had important effects during the American sanctions against Syria.
These relations are still on the rise and growing, and among them, we can mention the signing of several commercial and economic agreements between the two countries in recent years. In the latest meeting last month, Mehrdad Bazarpash, Iran’s Minister of Roads and Urban Development, traveled to Damascus and met with President Bashar al-Assad and other high-ranking Syrian officials.
As the most important recent event, we can mention the imminent visit of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to Syria. The relations between Iran and Syria have had a pivotal and fundamental impact on Syria’s position in the Arab-Palestinian war with the Zionist regime and the neutralization of the American and Zionist regime’s plots against Syria and the attack on this country. In fact, the equation of the convergence of Syria and Iran means increasing the threat against the Zionist regime. Here are the most important of these effects:
Neutralizing one of the most important goals of the American and Zionist regime’s conspiracies against Syria means removing this country from the equation of deterrence in the axis of resistance against the Zionist regime.
Unprecedented turmoil in the policy centers and centers of the Zionist regime by increasing the process of restoring the deterrence of Syria and strengthening the unity of the axis of resistance and declaring readiness for war with the enemy, so that the entire political and security calculations of this regime were messed up and ultimately destroyed. The deterrence power of this regime reached a significant level.
