Iran has accused the United States and Israel of orchestrating a resurgence of terrorist activities in Syria, describing it as part of a broader plan to destabilize the region following Israeli setbacks in Lebanon and Palestine. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and other officials claim that the revival of armed groups, including Takfiri militants, is a coordinated effort supported by Western and regional actors. Iran has vowed to support the Syrian government, with backing from Russia and the resistance axis, to prevent a repeat of past conflicts. Iranian officials, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, have also highlighted the advanced weaponry, communication systems, and technology being used by militant groups, suggesting foreign involvement, including European support. Both Iran and Russia have reaffirmed their commitment to aiding Syria in restoring stability and countering terrorism.
