The anniversary of the killing of Soleimani, the Commander of the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was used by Iran and its proxies to stress Iran’s support for the “resistance axis” and the central role Soleimani played in developing the military capabilities of Iran’s proxies in the region, particularly in enlarging and increasing the deadliness of their arsenals rockets and missiles. Iranian media continues to criticize the limited economic involvement of Iran in Syria, arguing that it is insufficient. Iranian newspapers argued that Iran should be playing a central role in Syria’s economic reconstruction, given the extensive assistance Tehran provided to Damascus during the civil war, and the agreements concerning economic cooperation that had been signed by both countries in recent years. Iran continues to expand its foothold in eastern Syria: A Syrian news website reported about the establishment of a new pro-Iranian militia in Albu Kamal, whose members were recruited among the elite forces of Fawj 47, a Syrian militia operating under IRGC command in the Deir Ezzor region in eastern Syria. A delegation of Iraqi politicians arrived in Tehran following the firing of Katyusha rockets toward the American embassy in Baghdad (December 20).
