Associated Press: The Iran-Arab agreement played a key role in Syria’s return to the Arab League.
In a report about the revival of Syria’s seat in the Arab League, the Associated Press reporter wrote that after years of stalemate in the Syrian war, the government of “Bashar Assad” has a lot of control over most of the regions of his country, especially over the big and main cities. Opposition groups or Kurdish forces supported by the US also control parts of northern and eastern Syria, and it is unlikely that anything will change in the short term; But what is clear is that it is impossible for other opposition parties to overthrow Assad.
This report further added: The Arab governments of the region, who once hoped for this (the fall of Bashar al-Assad), have now come to the conclusion that it is better to get down to business. Hashem Alghanem, a Saudi political analyst, says, we are no longer looking for magical solutions, but what we know is that the current situation is unstable. We don’t know when this conflict will end and if the sanctions against Syria will work or not.
On the other hand, the devastating earthquake of February 6 also played a role in accelerating the closeness of relations. More than 6 thousand people were killed in Syria and hundreds of thousands were displaced. The senior officials of the countries of the region visited Damascus and the earthquake affected areas for the first time and sent aid to the government and the earthquake victims.
This American news agency continued to discuss Iran’s role in Syria’s return to the Arab League and added that the agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia with the mediation of China also strengthened this issue. An agreement that committed the two sides to de-escalation in regional crises such as the crisis in Yemen and Syria.
