The Syria conflict might appear as a domestic civil war aimed at toppling an autocratic ruler but the reality is far more complex with various nations pursuing their strategic interests
The article from Telangana Today discusses how Syria has become a focal point for geopolitical maneuvering due to its strategic location and the ongoing conflict. Various global and regional powers, including the United States, Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Israel, are involved in the Syrian conflict, each with their own interests and alliances. The U.S. supports Kurdish forces, which has led to tensions with Turkey, who views these groups as threats. Russia backs the Syrian government, providing military support to President Bashar al-Assad. Iran also supports Assad, aiming to maintain its influence in the region. Meanwhile, Israel frequently conducts airstrikes targeting Iranian assets in Syria to prevent the establishment of a permanent Iranian military presence. This complex web of alliances and conflicts has turned Syria into a battleground where proxy wars are fought, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and complicating any prospects for peace.
