The possibility of Iran directly entering the Syria conflict remains a complex but very real possibility. While Iran is deeply entangled in Syrian affair, supporting the previous Assad regime through the IRGC and Hezbollah. Its motivation is not rooted in defending the Druze minority. Iran has no ideological or sectarian affinity with the Druze, a heterodox religious group often viewed with suspicion by both Sunni and Shia hardliners. If Iran intervenes more aggressively, it would be less about protecting minorities and more about undermining Israel and asserting regional power. For Tehran, the strategic calculus is simple: weaken Israel, bolster the "Axis of Resistance," and prevent any normalization between Damascus and Tel Aviv. Syria’s quiet overtures toward joining the Abraham Accords, a move encouraged by some Gulf states, are now in jeopardy. Renewed Israeli airstrikes and Syrian missile responses have hardened positions, and if Iran ramps up its own involvement, it could scuttle any backchannel diplomacy aimed at reintegrating Syria into the Arab-Israeli normalization process. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
