“Al Raqqa after Boukamal” is the equation of the next stage

Written by Nasser Kandil,

What has happened in the Iraqi Kurdistan through the conformation of the secession project was not mere a response to the obstinacy of the head of the Kurdish region in Iraq Masoud Al-Barazani and his personal ambitions. The Iranian position which was interpreted through the direct involvement in overthrowing the Kurdish secession was not mere a defense of  the Iranian national security as in the case of Turkey which Iran played a role in reassuring and mobilizing it, Iran has behaved at the climax of the escalation with Washington on the basis of conviction that the Kurdish secession is the most important test of the balances of power between it and the America, it said to Russia which was behaving cautiously towards the Kurdish movement that it will wage the battle of overthrowing the secession till the end no matter what  the cost will be.

The results which based on the confrontation with the project of the secession have increased the Iranian certainty that the US escalation by proxy and the playing at the brink of the abyss are just a psychological warfare, moreover, the rapid collapse of the secession project has proven the Iranian equation which based on the fact that the reason of the falling of the areas by the US project is because those who are supposed to confront are evading from it, because they thought that they would face a US war if they did the opposite, Iran wanted to prove the contrary  to those that if they encourage and resist in the confrontation, then America will retreat in avoidance of the confrontation, and this is what has happened.

The Iranians approach the file of the Kurds of Syria from the same perspective, they think that the excessive use of the Kurdish title by America in Syria to deny the role of the Syrian army in its control against the domination of ISIS has reached to an end that is no longer tolerated, and that the protection of the unity of Syria and its sovereignty and opening the file of the US military illegitimate presence  in Syria under the title of the war on ISIS will fall after the liberation of Boukamal. The Americans must be aware that there will be no longer presence for the Kurdish coverage which they want to hide behind in order to justify further illegal and illegitimate presence in Syria, and to impose an objective division of Syria, Therefore, the Iranian equation which was presented to the allies and got their conviction and acceptance in coordination with the Syrian country is based on the title “ Raqqa after Boukamal and Kirkuk”.

The message which the advisor of the Imam Ali Khamenei for the international affairs Dr. Ali Velayati has addressed from Beirut under the title of Raqqa after Boukamal and his affirmation that the axis of the resistance will liberate Raqqa after the liberation of Boukamal is not mere a message, however, it is an announcement of pragmatic position that summarized what is going to happen later. The content of the message does not restrict on addressing the Kurds of Syria to take the lesson from the experience of the Kurds of Iraq, and from the experience of following the American deception. Also it is not a message to the Americans alone that the time of their departure from Syria is close and that they have to pack their bags, however it is a message to the Turks who share with the Russians and the Iranians different sites, to take into consideration that the Syrian country will not share its sovereignty neither with countries nor with groups, so the one who wants to seize some of the Syrian geography under his control as an area of influence has to put into his consideration that he will be on a date with a confrontation with the axis of the resistance soon, so it is better to prepare himself to withdraw.

Soon, Syria will be under a unilateral control of its army, this is the most important outcome of the meeting between the Russian President Vladimir Putin and Al Imam Alkhamenei which was interpreted by the declaration of Velayati. This is the promise of the allies to Syria and its president; there is no bargaining on that even from an enemy or a friend.
