  • Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance
    Atlantic Council BRENT SCOWCROFT CENTER ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE BRIEF Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance OCTOBER 2017 DANIELLE PLETKA The state that was once known as Syria has ceased to exist. The nominal central government of President Bashar al-Assad controls only sections of the country, with other portions in the hands, variously, of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), al-Qaeda tied to Fatah al- Sham (otherwise known as Jabhat al-Nusra), People’s Protection Units, the Democratic Union Party, and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. In addition, that which is in Assad’s hands remains so thanks only to the combined intervention of Iranian conventional and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and IRGC-Quds Forces, Hezbollah fighters, and the military support of the Russian Federation. If Assad is ever again to sit atop his nation, whole and entirely under his heel as it once was, it will be only because of these outside forces. Despite the Kremlin’s efforts to ensure a tactically advantageous military presence in Syria for the foreseeable future, Russia’s role in controlling Syria’s leadership going forward may be at least partly in question. Iran’s role, however, is clear. Assad, or indeed any Alawite ruler that succeeds him, will serve solely at the pleasure of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). Beginning at the Beginning Pushback: Exposing and After the ouster of the shah of Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Countering Iran is a project the new regime in Tehran took a straightforward approach to its foreign of the Middle East Peace and Security Initiative in the Atlantic relations: Everything the shah did was wrong, and the regime would do Council’s Brent Scowcroft the opposite.

I really want to thank all of you for joining us for a celebratory occasion, which is to mark the publication of a wonderful new book by Mike Doran, "Ike's Gamble: America's Rise to Dominance in the Middle East", for sale outside. If you haven't gotten your copy yet I hope you will after the event. I think for any of us who watches the region, works on the region, it's clear that the Middle East is in a state of disorder today that shares many features with the period that Mike Discusses in "Ike's Gamble", and America's role in the Middle East is likewise at an inflection point as it was for Eisenhower as the British withdrew, to dive in more deeply to this disordered region or to try to stay out of the internecine struggles under way.

  • Mohammed Bin Salman's Saudi Arabia
    Jamal Khashoggi in the European Parliament: Mohammed bin Salman’s Saudi Arabia: Reforms, Alliances, Regional Role Public debate held at the European Parliament, June 27, 2018 Jointly organized by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, AJC Transatlantic Institute and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Three months before his murder in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Jamal Khashoggi joined EU policymakers in a public debate in the European Parliament in Brussels to discuss the reform process initiated by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and how it would affect Saudi Arabia’s position as a key player in Middle Eastern geopolitics. In the light of the events that have unfolded in late 2018, and in view of the lasting impact of Khashoggi’s legacy on the global standing of Saudi Arabia, we decided to release this transcript of the June debate. It shows that he was neither a revolutionary nor a Republican. He did not view himself as a dissident but emphasized the opportunity in Mohammed bin Salman’s reform agenda, and his deep wish to contribute to those reforms becoming a success. This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity. Welcome Cristian Dan Preda, Member, European Parliament (European People's Party, Romania) Johannes Huegel, Research Associate, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Kristina Kausch, Senior Resident Fellow, German Marshall Fund Discussants Jamal Khashoggi, Columnist, The Washington Post and Raseef 22 The Hon.

In this article he discusses what the Israeli defence establishment calls the ‘war between wars’ – Israel’s campaign is to disrupt attempts by Israel’s enemies to build up their military force on its borders, boost Israeli deterrence, and delay the start of the next full-scale con- flict. Over the past 18 months, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck no fewer 200 targets across Syria in response to Iran’s drive to turn Syria into a second Lebanon, and create a new Iranian-run army there. Iran is changing its strategy in turn, as Lappin explains. In late August, Iran’s Defence Minister, Gen. Amir Khatami, met with his Syrian counterpart, Gen. Ali Ayoub, in Damascus and signed an agreement for military cooperation. This is an event that sounds deceptively mundane. In actuality, it was far from being a routine bilateral defence pact. Instead, it was a statement of Iranian intent – a message Israel paid close attention to – that it has no intention of giving up its goal of turning Syria into an Iranian military fortress in the next phase of an ongoing, explosive regional struggle.
