İranian policy towards the Syrian War
(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Niazi, Abdurrahman; Özcan, Gencer
The popular uprisings in Syria, which marked the beginning of the current crisis in March 2011, caused instability throughout the region. In addition to the regional and non-regional powers involved to varying degrees, the theater of conflict in Syria has seen Iran taking to the stage with an increasingly active role. Iran was initially vocal in support of the spread of popular Arab uprisings across the Arab world and was swift in hailing them as “Islamic Awakenings,” but as Syria’s civil war threatened a forty-year-old Syrian-Iranian Alliance. This thesis is, therefore, an attempt to shed light on the way in which Iranian policy towards the Syrian War has been fueled by a pragmatic position, from the year 2011 to the year 2017. The thesis also analyzes the impact that the civil war in Syria has had on Iranian politics by taking a look into the matter from both the hardliner’s perspective and that of the liberal reformists. What will be demonstrated, the recent events indicate that the empowerment of the Hardliners and IRGC all this shows that the Syrian crisis became a watershed movement and it had a great impact on the internal political power configuration of Iran. It completely changed the tide of power against the reformist’s camp although they had two consecutive electoral victories.
