Local Syrian sources have reported in recent days that elements of the Iranian militias stationed in the "Sayda Zeinab" area south of the capital Damascus have vacated their positions, also a number of their senior officers who have left.
The reasons for this are the acute economic problems, but it is said that the real reason for this move is a fear of the Iranians and the Shiite militias that they are going to be used as a target for attacking hostile elements.
