The US and Israel are responsible for the resurgence of Salafist terrorism in Syria, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has claimed, adding that Tehran will support the efforts by the government in Damascus aimed to to halt the ongoing jihadist offensive.
Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), the terrorist group formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, attacked government-controlled territory in northern Syria on Wednesday alongside a collection of allied militias, breaking a fragile truce brokered by Russia and Türkiye in 2020. By Friday, HTS fighters had entered Aleppo, which had been under Syrian government control since 2016.
In a phone call with his Syrian counterpart, Bassam al-Sabbagh, on Friday, Araghchi called the offensive “an American-Zionist” plot. According to Iran’s PressTV, Araghchi noted that the attack took place immediately after Israel struck a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon, suggesting that Washington and West Jerusalem were using HTS as proxies to strike a blow against Syria’s government, which supports the Palestinian cause.
Araghchi told al-Sabbagh that Iran continues to support the “Syrian government, nation, and army towards fighting terrorism and protecting regional security and stability,” PressTV paraphrased.
Before adopting its current name in 2017, Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham was known as Jabhat al-Nusra. Indirectly armed by the US and allegedly backed by Türkiye, the terrorist group was one of the main factions opposing Bashar Assad’s government during the Syrian Civil War. Russia intervened in the conflict in 2015, helping Damascus retake much of the country from Jabhat al-Nusra, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), and dozens of US-supported armed groups deemed “moderate rebels” by Washington.
Iran also played a key role in helping the Syrian government hold back the jihadists, with the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps providing weapons and training to the Syrian Army and sending thousands of military advisers and volunteers to assist Assad’s forces on the battlefield.
While the US waged war against IS fighters in Syria, it overtly supported other anti-Assad militias and covertly backed jihadist groups. Despite Washington placing a $10 million bounty on the head of Al-Qaeda’s commander in Syria in 2013, current US National Security Adviser and then-State Department staffer Jake Sullivan had written to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton several months earlier, explaining that “AQ [Al Qaeda] is on our side in Syria.”
Al-Qaeda’s Syrian commander, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, broke ties with the organization in 2016 and went on to lead HTS. In an interview in 2021, Former US Special Representative for Syria Engagement James Jeffrey described HTS as “an asset” to American strategy in Syria, saying that supporting the jihadist commander was “the least bad option” for keeping Idlib out of Syrian government control.
While the US officially considers al-Jolani a ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorist’ and has implicated his group in a litany of human rights abuses, al-Jolani insists that HTS “does not represent a threat” to Western interests.
Satanist gov. allies itself with Moslems and not Christians; it shows you what Islam is
I wouldn’t struggle with this dirt. Use napalm to cleanse.
Double checking facts:
Russia entered the conflict in Syria nearly 3 years after ISIS started the war against Syria under Assad; it was Iran / Resistance Axis helping Assad for the first ~3 years; Qassem Suleimani already had saved Assad and halted ISIS advance when US and Zion began employing air power in favor of ISIS, it was then that he went to Moscow and convinced Putin and Russian generals to enter the conflict primarily with their air-force. Russia like everybody else in the world including even Iranian president Ahmadinejad believed Assad was finished and would/should be removed and the solution is to negotiate with Saudis (back then they were still a thing)! History testifies that only one man against the entire world said Bashar Al Assad must stay in power and it was Syed Ali Khamenei who tasked general Qassem Suleimani to save Assad and defeat US plans for the region executed by CENTCOM. Khamenei was hated in the Sunni world for appearing to stand against the “Arab Spring”, even Hamas was betraying Iran!Add salt to injury Iranian governments were sluggish and even at times opposing IRGC and Khamenei whenever they could!

President Rohani was openly acting against Supreme Leader, and it was one of the hardest chapters after the Islamic Shia revolution in Iran. They cut military budget, and went ahead to make a “deal” with US and crossed all red lines set by Khamenei. Inside Iran they were pushing for “peace”, things like “war is bad”, “Islam of Love VS Islam of War”, “dialogue VS missiles” were the themes of the day; the situation was so dark that martyrs of Iranian volunteer forces who were helping Syria had to be buried quietly! The westernized secular and liberal reformists were active in the media with poisonous remarks like: “These volunteers forces in Syria are getting paid and the money going to the region to help Syria, Lebanon and Palestine should be spent in Iran!”, also they were mocking Iranian missile progress!… Rafsanjani the main backer of Rohani said “today the world is the world of dialogue not missiles”, Khamenei had to respond by saying the world is of both missiles and dialogue! Regardless Iran was making Bavar-373 air-defense as Russia was playing its own games and was steadily improving its missile and drone tech while also supporting Axis of Resistance despite all of these external and internal hurdles. Add assassinations, covert and economic war and the massive psi-ops to cause unrests in Iran to the mix and leadership of Khamenei is nothing short of spectacular miracle.

See the above to get a clearer picture and compare with today that Iran is a major weapon producer and seller. Iran had to develop the Resistance Axis, improve its missile and drone tech, deal with internal pressure and yet handle US, Zion, Turkey, Saudis, UAE, Qatar, Parts of Iraq, Taliban in Afghanistan, Pakistan that was pro US and pro Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, NATO, etc… yet Iran also had to bring Russia along!
Today what you see is that ISIS and multi-national terrorists supported by Turkey and US and Zion are attacking Syria again just after the “ceasefire” between Zion and Hezbollah, all of this is to shield the bastard child “Israel” and provide respite for them. Turkey is likely to enter the conflict directly soon and provide the buffer zone for Zion. They have to cut Iran’s land connection to its limbs!
ایها صهیون نحن المقاومون و نحن المنتقمون
Same with ISIS – it is all US=UK-Israeli generated terrorism.
The Brits started it with militarizing the Muslim Brotherhood for false flag operations. Then the Zio-owned Americans took over with more overt terrorist activities to “justify” their serial ME incursions. Most Americans, even today, ignore the obvious thinking they are entitled to plunder any nation’s resources if they deem they are needed for its economy.
Having “enemies” such as the Soviet Union for the alleged “cold war”, ISIS in the ME, and even Russia today is very useful as pretexts to plunder nations and to keep the MIC and armaments industry growing and growing.
To get away with their stealth they have to maintain strong divisions and especially in their own nations.
You have to appreciate this; Talmudia is murdering people fm Gaza to Beirut/Damascus and back and this Wahhabi scum spends their time STILL trying to carve out pieces of Syria where they can kill priests/bishops & practice their multiple wife fetish.
It looks to me like half the countries in the world are well aware that the problems they keep having with rebel forces are due to the US and other Western countries funding and arming the rebels. If the US were to be sufficiently weakened, such as if all the loans which have been keeping it afloat for years were cut off, wouldn’t all these oppressed govts band together and flood us with their armies?
Have they already? Are we are sitting ducks waiting for the guns to come out?
Or will Trump’s opening of all govt-owned lands to mineral to exploitation by bankers and big business provide him with enough money to make a partial payment on what we owe and keep our lenders quiet?
Maybe how many he deports and how quickly will be a clue as to whether our invaders will back off for now.
I sure wish we could separate these govts that are all about war and death from the people they govern who want to live and let live in peace.
As it is, ‘turn about is fair play’ and ‘an eye for an eye’ may do us all in, while what is left of the govts lives on and on in bunkertowns.
More subterfuge. Too bad Iran itself is governed by Donmeh deceiving the morons into believing they’re ‘anti-Zionist’. I love how TTS publishes news from ‘RT’ as though its different from the western MSM. But the MSM (Marxist Semitic Media) of Russia is owned by Jews too & managed by the obese grotesque Jew ‘minister of mass media’ Maksut Shadayev. If you haven’t figure it out yet, they’re all in on the plot.
i live near a large turkish community in the UK
they totally despise israel
i think they will side against the dirty jews
too bad these jews and wogs have to exist on the planet
CIA + Mossad always watering their flowers
of terror since tshetshian + afgani war .
Jews dressing up as ‘muslim terrorists’ in fictitious muslim terror orgs…gotta love it
The photo captions vomits out, “Members of the al Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front…” … Yeah. Sure. It’s two Americunt zio-puppet psychopaths from Kansas wearing masks accompanying some confused and deranged dune-coon. But then the piece sets it straight right out of the gate with,
“The US and Israel are responsible for the resurgence of Salafist terrorism in Syria,” Nailed it, except they need to replace that “U” in “US’ to a “J”, followed by “ew”…
@ SpeakUp, often offering excellent commentary, stated, “I sure wish we could separate these govts that are all about war and death from the people they govern who want to live and let live in peace. ” … Certainly a nice sentiment, but it hasn’t really applied to the Jewnited States for decades since the cuntry is frothing with an over-abundance of dangerously stupid with a bizarre militaristic bent as well as a growing population of outright psychopaths. The dangerously stupid parroting “Support The Troops™” in slack-jawed stupor, despite the fact the “the troops” have been fighting for the Wrong. F*cking. Side. for 100 years and haven’t done jack shit to actually protect and defend the country and Constitution. Most Americunts at this point actually don’t want to “live and let live in peace”…until the ultra-violence is on their block.
You can call it “‘American-Zionist plot’ behind jihadists’ Syria offensive….” and of course it is.
The problem however is that the Arabs are ALWAYS traitors and liers. What they call now a “victory” of Hezbullah in Lebanon is anything but victory. Victory it is but for the jews – the mere fact that a jewish american who served in the jewish army travels to Lebanon and imposes the conditions of the cease-fire, the mere fact that the american ambassador actively speaks against Hezbullah and Lebanese goreign minister half-witted Bu Habib smiles to them like a little fool instead of expelling immediatly both Amos Hochstein and Liz Johnson he stretches their hand. More dirt than this I never saw in my life….
“Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), the terrorist group formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra”
Formerly known as ISIS, which was formerly known as Al Queda, which is now back to a subsidiary of Al Queda again, which is formerly and currently known as Americans are too pathetically f*cking stupid to figure out they’re being duped into allowing the U.S. military to play whack-a-mole in the ME, destroying country after country under the guise of chasing contrived ‘terrorist’ factions and the phony ‘war on terror’
Years ago there was a photo circulating online of alleged Hamas militants marching down the street in the West Bank, somehow avoiding IDF detection, which could have wiped them out in ten seconds with an Apache gunship. They carried guns and wore ski masks with Arabic symbols on them. One of them had his shirt unbuttoned at the top revealing a Star of David necklace.. Same deal in photo above with the hooded IDF agents on the truck running their skit for the consumption of the brain dead masses.
“an over-abundance of dangerously stupid with a bizarre militaristic bent as well as a growing population of outright psychopaths. The dangerously stupid parroting “Support The Troops™” in slack-jawed stupor”
Umbra – bravo, well said. Americunts, as you call them will soon know what it’s like to live like Palestinians, The chickens are coming home to roost. The Bolshevization of the U.S. is in its final stages. War/civil war/race war, starvation, economic collapse all coming soon to their cities and towns. They won’t be watching it take place on TV like a video game, in some far off land, but right in their backyard. They won’t be ‘ supporting the troops’ very long once they are the ones be victimized by their ZOG controlled military.
reuters news was bought by rosthchild some time back
