Debunking the myth that Assad and Iran are enemies of ISIS - The Middle East Magazine Online...
Informations gathered in the last 3 years when ISIS suddenly merged in Syria.
1-The essential point was that Assad and ISIS have a common goal, which is the destruction of moderate opposition forces. It cites evidence from across the country, including regions such as Raqqa, Jarablus and Al-Danna, that Isis headquarters escaped unscathed in the midst of heavy shelling from Assad’s forces.
2-The Guardian newspaper reported in September 2014 that “the Syrian government and its close allies in Moscow and Tehran warned Barack Obama that an offensive against Islamic State (Isis) within Syria would violate international law”.
3-According to media reports June 14 the Assad regime had refrained from attacking ISIS bases. A Syrian government adviser told the New York Times’ Anne Barnard this was indeed a deliberate policy designed to “tar” the broader opposition and “frame [the] choice” as either Assad or the extremists.
4-It is a documented fact that in May and June 2011 the regime turned loose from its prisons hundreds of violent jihadists while arresting and killing peaceful secular activists.
5-Cynically Iran is exploiting the Western fear of terrorism to make common cause with the West against ISIS.
But ample evidence exists to prove Iran’s collusion with Al Qaeda. The US 9/11 Commission Report, had already established that Iran “facilitated the transit of Al-Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, including future hijackers. Iran, according to the report, wished to conceal any past evidence of its cooperation with Sunni terrorists’ association with Al-Qaeda,” but these connections continued.
6-In March 2015 the FT reported that a Syrian businessman responsible for orchestrating millions of dollars’ worth of secret oil and gas trades between the Assad government and its ‘sworn enemy’, ISIS, was among 13 individuals and organisations hit with sweeping new economic sanctions by the EU.
7-The ISIS never closed pipelines that provide energy to regime in Damascus.
8-ISIS never attacked regime in Damascus or Teheran.
9-“The leaders of ISIS have already worked hand in glove with Syrian intelligence, whether supplying them with weapons or supplying money flowing from their racketeering activities around Mosul.”
10- The journalist James Foley was arrested by the regime before going to the hands of ISIS.
11- The ISIS never killed pro-regime journalists.
12-In a further twist that implicates the Assad regime in collusion with ISIS, in February 2015 the US Embassy in Syria accused the regime of supporting ISIS advance on Syria’s largest city, Aleppo. It tweeted:
“Reports indicate that the regime is making air-strikes in support of ISIL’s advance on Aleppo, aiding extremists against Syrian population,” said the post.
13-A question that puzzled Western observers was what would Iran’s motivation be to support a Sunni jihadist organizations like ISIS? In Syria, ISIS has forced the West to choose between the regime of Bashar al-Assad or a terrorist outfit. Given that choice, it was assumed that the West would back Assad, as did the Russians and the Chinese.
14-ISIS attacked the countries that help the oppositions: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and France.
15-ISIS suddenly emerged in Syria, at a time when the collapse of Assad’s regime seemed imminent. The emergence of ISIS saved the Syrian regime by threatening the world that an alternative terrorist regime would replace Assad’s.
16-A report in The Economist magazine explained how ISIS was less interested in toppling the Assad’s regime than fighting other groups. It has rarely targeted the Assad’s regime and not a single barrel bomb has been dropped by the regime on ISIS.
17-New documents obtained by Sky News revealed that the Syrian government's recapture of the ancient city of Palmyra from Islamic State militants was apparently part of a pre-arranged deal with their puppets in the country.
