In an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3KyLfvlu31k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aired on <em>Al Jazeera<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, January 1, Al-Shaibani declared that Iran&#8217;s influence in Syria has been provocative to the people and served primarily to sustain Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Al-Shaibani stressed, \u201cThe presence of Iranian influence in Syria was very provocative to the Syrian people and served the interests of the former regime. Iran must radically change its policy and refrain from intervening in our domestic affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIran\u2019s actions in Syria sowed chaos and instability, but the new Syria will not tolerate such interventions. We urge Tehran to reconsider its calculations and align with the aspirations of the Syrian people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Syria\u2019s new leadership, formed after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime on December 18, has been navigating complex regional relations. Ahmed Al-Shara, the commander of <em>Hay&#8217;at Tahrir al-Sham<\/em>, whose forces advanced from Idlib to Damascus, has emphasized the need for pragmatic ties with regional powers. In a statement to <em>Al Arabiya<\/em> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/iran-news-ahmed-al-shara-criticizes-tehrans-meddling-as-syrian-leadership-changes\/\">December 31, Al-Shara criticized<\/a> Iran\u2019s role in the Syrian civil war, saying it left deep scars on the nation\u2019s infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and bakeries, contributing to widespread displacement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News: Syrian Foreign Minister Warns <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tehran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tehran<\/a> Against Spreading Chaos Amid Regional Shifts<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yKGvwihqeB\">https:\/\/t.co\/yKGvwihqeB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1871832251287150636?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/farsi.khamenei.ir\/news-content?id=58831\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">speech on January 1, Khamenei<\/a> dismissed Syria\u2019s new government, describing it as transient and suggesting it would be \u201ctrampled underfoot\u201d by believers. His remarks reveal Tehran\u2019s apprehension about the new Syrian leadership and suggest a potential shift in regional rivalries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On January 13, Al-Shaibani visited Riyadh to discuss reconstruction aid with Saudi leaders. Additionally, Gulf states, including Qatar and the UAE, have pledged support for Syria\u2019s economic recovery. Turkey has also sent engineering teams to assist with rebuilding efforts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Al-Shaibani highlighted the dire state of Syria\u2019s finances following the fall of the Assad regime, noting, \u201cWe inherited an empty treasury looted by the former government.\u201d However, he expressed optimism about the international community\u2019s willingness to end Syria\u2019s isolation and support its economic revival.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Khamenei?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Khamenei<\/a>\u2019s Speech Reflects Iranian Regime\u2019s Morale Crisis After Strategic Loss in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Syria?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Syria<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9EwLTl0Ydv\">https:\/\/t.co\/9EwLTl0Ydv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1874492212417056857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He emphasized the need for a four-year transitional period, during which Syria would rebuild its institutions and prepare for inclusive elections. \u201cThe new Syria will be a hub of peace, stability, and a key player in the Arab world and beyond,\u201d Al-Shaibani declared.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Assad\u2019s departure reshapes Syria\u2019s political landscape, the interim government faces the immense challenge of rebuilding a war-ravaged nation amid complex regional tensions.
