Syria Will Stay Out of Iran Conflict Unless It Faces Aggression, President Says
Ahmed al-Sharaa said Syria will stay out of the conflict unless attacked, as thousands of troops guard its borders with Lebanon and Iraq.
- On Tuesday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa declared at Chatham House in London that Syria will remain outside the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran "unless Syria is targeted by any party."
- Earlier this month, Syria deployed thousands of troops to its western border with Lebanon and eastern border with Iraq to "protect and control the borders amid the escalating regional conflict."
- During a press conference in Berlin on Monday, Sharaa appeared alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, stating Syria is "qualified to start a strategic relationship network" with regional and global powers.
- Sharaa expressed concern that "we do not want Syria to be an arena of war," warning that current regional events "are not governed by wise minds" and remain "volatile and random."
- Regional fighting has already pulled in neighboring Lebanon, where armed group Hezbollah remains locked in fighting with Israeli ground troops, illustrating the wider conflict threatening Syria's borders.
