A new caricature by Syria’s most celebrated cartoonist Ali Firzat about the role of the Iranian regime in Syria:
COMMENT:
The Iranian regime has indeed become the de facto ruler of Syria – from Sepah Pasdaran commanders directing battles on the ground (in Eastern Ghouta, Qusayr and Yabroud, for example) to Syria’s foreign policy being dictated by Iranian regional interests, rather than those of Syria (this was obvious at the Geneva negotiations, for example, or in the recent Hezbollah Lebanon maneuvers along the Israeli border in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights).
