Dozens of regimes and gangs back siege of Daraa: Military analyst
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – The military build-up brought in to the vicinity of Daraa are the gangs of Putin, Assad and Khamenei, said As’ad al-Zou’bi, an opposition military analyst, on Thursday.
Over the past two days, the Iranian-backed militias have sent more reinforcements to the vicinity of Daraa al Balad and the besieged neighborhoods. These reinforcements included heavy equipment like tanks, armored vehicles and the 57 artillery. They also included a big number of members, according to local sources.
Al-Zou’bi added that “there are dozens of regimes and gangs that back these reinforcements,” considering that the coming days will witness “the Great Battle of al Sham”.
“There is no solution looming on the horizon, and the situation will develop. There will be interference and unexpected reactions. However, the stand of all the residents of Daraa together will be the last word,” he noted.
Russia sees Daraa as the final and most important step in its plan of supporting the Syrian government. However, Iran views the southern governorate as the most important step to start with in order to achieve its Persian goal, “to which unfortunately Arabs have not yet realized its danger,” according to the military analyst.
Al-Zou’bi attributed the reason for Iran’s delay in controlling southern Syria to the “disagreement over the distribution of quotas between the three gangs.”
The Iranian-backed militias continue its semi-ongoing targeting the besieged neighborhoods in Daraa governorate: Daraa al-Balad, Tariq al-Sad neighborhood and camps).
For more than two months, the government forces and pro-Iranian factions have besieged the neighborhoods of Daraa al-Balad and closed most of the roads to them.
“Iran’s goal is clear: to bring about complete demographic change in the region. The plan is dangerous and the objectives are profound, but we are still far from understanding these plans,” al-Zou’bi stated.
