“In short, Iran has dragged out this process, driving up its demands and exerting its leverage, convincing the world that the United States wants the JCPOA more than the Iranian regime does. After months of negotiations, this is the Iran we must contend with, not the Iran you hoped would be driven by practical considerations at the bargaining table.

Today’s Iran is buoyed by China, who, it is reported, just in April imported 650,000 barrels a day of oil from Iran. Oil which should be subject to U.S. sanctions. Even at discounted prices, this has resulted in a flood of cash for the regime – tens of millions of dollars per day. Today, Iran is protected by Russia. Iran thinks it has options. If Iran wants to extract a better deal or concede less than U.S. national security demands, it can turn to its autocratic allies.”

—Chairman Sen. Robert Menendez at a May 25th Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing

Since the beginning of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, mounting military pressure coupled with tactical failures led Russia to start drawing from its forces in Syria in favor of operations in Ukraine. The major shuffles didn’t just include arms, troops and equipment but entire groups of commanding officers including—most notably—Alexander Dvornikov, who helped to turn the tides of the war in Syria and is now leading the operations in Ukraine.

If a significant reduction in dependable Russian presence takes place in Syria, the country will become an Iranian province.

During the last three months, Russia pulled a military reconfiguration of its troops in Syria redeploying its troops to different areas and allowing Iranian troops associated with the IRGC to take the newly vacant positions, especially around Aleppo and Eastern Homs.
