Iran’s elite Quds Force have now fled to Iran and the militia groups have disbanded in Syria

 

 Iran’s military has withdrawn most of its forces from Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing U.S., European and Arab officials. Perhaps most importantly for U.S. and allied forces in the region, “Members of Iran’s elite Quds Force have now fled to Iran and the militia groups have disbanded,” a U.S. official claimed.

However, Iranian forces “could find a way back in thanks to sectarian divisions that remain largely unresolved under the new regime,” Andrew Tabler, a former director for Syria at the National Security Council, warned.

 Turkey’s leader is watching Syria’s future nervously, just in case the Kurdish population attempts to negotiate any new divisions of Syria, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday. “We can not accept under any pretext that Syria be divided and if we notice the slightest risk we will take the necessary measures,” Erdogan said, adding, “we have the means” and “we could intervene in one night,” he warned.
