Ahmed Al-Shara, de facto leader of Syria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ahmed Al-Shara, de facto leader of Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad, has openly criticized the Iranian regime\u2019s ongoing interference in the region and called for a reevaluation of its policies. In an interview with Al-Arabiya<\/em><\/a>, Al-Shara emphasized that the Syrian people liberated their country and expressed hope for constructive relations with regional and global powers\u2014excluding Tehran if its interventionist agenda persists.<\/p>\n

Al-Shara, who previously led Hayat Tahrir al-Sham under the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, reiterated the need for Syria\u2019s independence from foreign meddling. \u201cWe did not enter Tehran or southern Lebanon; we entered our own cities and villages,\u201d he stated, signaling a rejection of Iran\u2019s influence. He confirmed that Syrian authorities have closed down Iranian-affiliated bases and offices, fulfilling what he called \u201cthe government\u2019s duty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al-Shara further addressed the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei\u2019s remarks<\/a> denying the role of Iranian proxy forces in Syria. Khamenei\u2019s comments, coupled with promises to destabilize the new Syrian government, were described as efforts to sow division and undermine the transitional government in Damascus.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Al-Shara underscored strained relations with Tehran, citing its involvement in the Syrian conflict over the past 13 years. \u201cIran\u2019s actions amount to historical vengeance,\u201d he said, adding that such behavior is unacceptable to the Syrian people.<\/p>\n
