According to the report of the New York Times newspaper, before the recent attacks of the rebel groups on Aleppo, the United States asked the Syrian government to cut ties with Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
In the New York Times report, referring to the repeated attacks of the Zionist regime on different areas of Syria, it is stated that for months his country was hit by the escalation of Israeli bombings, while behind the scenes, the United States and the countries of the Persian Gulf contacted Bashar al-Assad diplomatically. .
It was a covert, two-pronged approach to pressure the Syrian president to abandon his most important regional alliance with Hezbollah and Iran.
According to this newspaper, the proposals for Mr. Assad were the product of what Israel and its allies called an opportunity they knew that it was rare but risky. By breaking Iran’s regional network under Israeli attacks, they hoped to force Iran’s most important partner out of the coalition.
