(Israel Hayom) Akiva Bigman - Russia would also like to see the Iranians leave Syria, and Israel's attacks on Iranian targets in the country serve this mutual interest, said Dr. Eran Lerman, former deputy for foreign policy and international affairs at Israel's National Security Council. "True, the Russians and the Iranians had common interests in maintaining Assad's rule, and they cooperated," he says, but "down the road, what the Iranians want to do in Syria and what the Russians want to do in Syria are two totally different things." While the Iranians want to use Syria as a base for attacking Israel, the Russians want to use it to restore their status as a regional power, and they have no intention of cooperating with the ambitions of the fundamentalist Islamist republic. "Step by step, we entered the crack [in Iran-Russia ties] and elegantly expanded it," Lerman said. 2019-08-27 00:00:00Full Article
