Syrian leader Ahmad al-Shara (Abu Mohammad al-Julani) said that wars that fail to achieve their goals often end with both sides celebrating victory, but in his view all parties lose in a hopeless war. He stated that from the outset the Iran war had many mistakes in its goals and emergence, and that Syria never encouraged it — instead working to keep negotiations alive because the region paid a heavy price for wars, according to an Israeli right-wing channel.
Syrian leader Ahmad al-Shara (Abu Mohammad al-Julani) offered a sweeping retrospective critique of the recent Iran war in remarks circulated Sunday evening by an Israeli right-wing the source. Al-Julani argued that wars which fail to achieve their full objectives often end with both sides claiming victory, but that all parties in fact lose in a futile conflict. He stated that from the outset the Iran campaign suffered from many mistakes — in its goals and in how it emerged — and asserted that Syria never encouraged it. Instead, he said, Damascus worked to keep negotiations alive because the region has paid a heavy price for wars. The remarks add a Syrian voice to a growing debate over the war's outcome. The Zioneer has previously covered widespread public skepticism in both Israel and the United States about the war's results, as well as analyses arguing the US military success was undercut by the diplomatic endgame. The remarks were reported by a single source; no official Syrian state media confirmation is available.
