Iran has been involved in wars in many Middle Eastern countries for many years. This issue has received more attention, especially after the civil war in Syria. Iran considers the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria a great threat. To this end, he tried to prevent a revolution in Syria.
Iran has brought troops to Syria from many countries. The participation of Iranian Shiite youth in the Syrian war in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq is an example of this. Iran carried out this work with the help of the Jerusalem branch of the Sipah. Similar incidents were reported in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. The main goal of the Tehran government in these steps was to gain active foreign power. Thus, he could use the forces of different countries for his own purposes.
Iranian officials declined to comment to the media. This situation has led to protests against Iran in Afghanistan. It should be noted that the government ignores the rights of Afghan refugees in Iran. Recently, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif gave an interview to an Afghan television station. During the interview, the Afghan journalist asked the minister about an army operating in Syria under the name “Fatemiyun”.
Although Zarif tried to avoid answering many questions, he was forced to admit some important issues. He acknowledged that at least 5,000 Afghans were fighting for Iran. However, he claimed that they went to Syria voluntarily. However, it is impossible for an immigrant to take up arms voluntarily and go to war. This interview has been the subject of controversy in Iran and other countries for days. Iran is cooperating with terrorists to achieve its goals. The latest example of this is the Zindashti incident. With the help of Zindashti, Iran brought Arab activist Habib Chaabi to Turkey.
The Zindashti group carried out a terrorist operation against at least two political opposition groups on the orders of Iran’s Intelligence Service. There is no denying the importance of the media’s coverage of the Zindashti incident and the Iranian foreign minister’s admission of some facts. But the Iranian media can never operate freely. People living in Iran have the opportunity to learn about such events only from the world media.
