Iran tar över Syrien

Ambassadör Dore Gold skriver om farorna med att låta Iran ha kvar sina styrkor i Syrien.
Gold skriver att iranska styrkor måste dras bort från Syrien. Om stormakterna låter Iran ha kvar sina styrkor i Syrien är det upptakten till nästa stora kris i Mellanöstern och den krisen kommer att vara mycket större än vad vi hittills har sett.
Det är värt att notera att det inte bara handlar om Israels säkerhet. Iran strävar efter herraväldet i Mellanöstern och det handlar om vem som är muslimernas ledare, om striden mellan shia- och sunnimuslimer.

Thwarting a New Iranian Empire
People do not understand what it means to leave Iran inside of Syria as currently envisioned by the Great Powers. Actually, to get a sense of what the full implications of that move mean for the Middle East, it’s useful to look at Lebanon back in 1982 when the Iranians established themselves in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and from that position established, in a few short years, Hizbullah, a guerrilla army that served as a surrogate for Iran – not only affecting Lebanon, but affecting the entire Middle East. Why was Hizbullah created? The Iranians have a theological doctrine called Vilayat-e Faqih – the rulership of the jurisprudent – which simply means that the head of the Iranian government, the Supreme Leader, is a global leader of all Muslims. When, for example, Shia in Lebanon refused to accept this new idea, Iran created Hizbullah which would accept the idea of Iranian domination, of Iranian leadership of all Muslims in the Middle East. ...

... Just as Lebanon became a base for Iranian operations across the Middle East, leaving Iranian forces in Syria will create a challenge on a much greater scale than we have already seen. This will pose a direct threat to the future security of Israel, but also the security of Jordan as well as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. The bottom line is: Iranian forces must be withdrawn from Syria back to Iran. If the Great Powers leave Iran in Syria, they are setting the stage for the next great crisis in the Middle East, which will be far larger than anything we have seen until now.
