Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, emphasized the threat posed by Iranian militias, stating they fueled instability in both Syria and the region. Following the overthrow of Assad, Iranian influence has drastically diminished. Sharaa's government is actively working to mend Syria's international relations, aiming to restore ties with neighboring countries, notably through his recent discussions with Turkish President Erdogan. This outreach is part of a broader effort to address the challenges faced by Syria after years of civil conflict and to facilitate the return of millions of displaced Syrians.
The presence of Iranian militias under the previous [Syrian] regime posed a strategic threat to the entire region.
Sharaa's remarks highlight the efforts by his transitional government to realign Syria's relations with much of the world.
Looking to Turkey for help, Sharaa traveled to Turkey for talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
His first foreign trip since coming to power was to Saudi Arabia, where rebuilding ties is crucial.
