The writer added: “It is clear that this has several implications, including Iran’s reconsideration of its way of dealing with Iraq, and not necessarily in a positive way, and that Soleimani’s assignment to Syria helps Iran’s reading of the crisis there. It is noteworthy that Iran provided the Kurds with weapons despite the differences that existed between them and Iran’s first man, Nuri al-Maliki!

He continued by saying: “As for Syria, it is clear from Soleimani’s transfer there that Iranian policies towards Iraq and Syria are going through a phase of repositioning. Soleimani’s assignment to Syria means his failure in Iraq, and it means that Iran does not see a political solution in Syria now, and its most important goal is to protect Assad militarily, especially After the fall of Al-Maliki’s “card” in Iraq, with an important note, which is the heating up of the Yemeni crisis through the Houthis to put pressure on Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and occupy them.
