The new government of Syria has decided in recent days to prevent all Iranian planes - including civilian ones - from flying over Syrian skies, Israeli news website Walla reported on Sunday.
IRAN INTERNATIONAL -- "The rebels' decision will make it very difficult for Hezbollah to restore its military capabilities," the report said.
Syria's de facto new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa said in a recent interview that Iran’s influence in the region has been significantly diminished by its ally President Bashar al-Assad's fall.
Sharaa, whose radical Sunni Islamist group Hayat al-Tahrir Sham (HTS) swiftly defeated Assad's forces earlier this month, told Asharq Al-Awsat that Syria's opposition had “set the Iranian project in the region back by 40 years,” signaling a major shift in Syria’s stance toward Iran.
