Iran is trying to establish contacts with new Syrian leaders due to its decreasing influence in the region

Iran is trying to maintain its influence on the new leaders of Syria after losing its position in Damascus due to the fall of the Assad regime. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has faced various crises, including tensions over the nuclear program and controversy over a law to increase penalties for women who do not wear the hijab. Iranian officials are especially concerned about the consequences of losing influence in Syria.

Tehran is keen to maintain its influence over the rebels in Damascus but is frustrated by Assad's refusal to compromise. Iran says it entered Syria at Assad's request to help fight the Islamic State. However, such statements have not reassured Damascus, which criticizes Iranian intervention.

The situation in Syria is forcing Iran to reconsider its foreign policy and decide whether to weaken its “axis of resistance,” become a nuclear power, or strengthen its position by improving ties in the region. Iran blames the US and Israel for the fall of the Assad regime and expects relations with Turkey to deteriorate.

Some in Iran believe Syria's new leaders could face a split due to the diversity of factions. Iranian officials have expressed concern and are seeking to maintain their influence in Syria. This became known on the date of publication of the article.
