The Syrian opposition delegation attending peace talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana, has rejected a plan for the Iranian regime to play a role in monitoring the ceasefire in Syria, Britain’s Guardian reported on Monday.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Alloush, the head of the opposition delegation, said in his opening remarks that the presence of Iranian-sponsored militias alongside regular Syrian government troops made peace more difficult to achieve, and called for them to leave the country, according to the Guardian.<\/p>\n
He also called for the release of prisoners from government jails, saying 13,000 women were being held arbitrarily.<\/p>\n
Alloush insisted the political process would begin with the departure of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Iran’s regime, and their militias.<\/p>\n
The Syrian opposition believes militia linked to Iran’s regime, such as Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah, are \u2013 along with the al-Assad regime \u2013 systematically breaching the ceasefire agreed on December 29, 2016. The Syrian fighters believe the Iranian regime, as perpetrators of innumerable ceasefire breaches, cannot credibly monitor or enforce a ceasefire.<\/p>\n
Alloush said the rebels were prepared to keep fighting if no deal was possible, and while a political solution to the civil war was the rebels\u2019 preferred choice, it was not the only one.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came here to reinforce the ceasefire as the first phase of this process,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will not proceed to the next phases until this actually happens on the ground.\u201d He described the Syrian government as a \u201cterrorist entity\u201d.<\/p>\n
The National Council of Resistance in December 2016 revealed detailed information regarding the role of the Iranian regime and its proxies in the carnage perpetrated in the city of Aleppo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
