The Syrian crisis emerged as a result of the popular uprising against the Assad regime in 2011. After the crisis, many international relations have been reshaped. The most important of these relations is the relations between Iran and Russia. In this article, the Syrian crisis will examine the shaping of relations between Russia and Iran and how other regional powers, such as Turkey and Israel, affected by the Syrian crisis, affect the alliance of Russia and Iran.
The relations between Iran and Russia, which were reshaped after the Syrian crisis, are within the framework of common goals and are developing. The changing dynamics in the region after the crisis was also reflected in the Iran-Russia relations. Although it is reported that activities are carried out to maintain the stability in the region, the two countries act in line with their interests. Relevant interests lie on the basis of blocking the presence of the United States, an important power in the region. In addition to this presence, Russia's policy of landing on warm seas is included in the framework of Syria and the current crisis. Iran, on the other hand, aims to be the main element in the Middle East and to eliminate the forces that threaten its existence in the region. In line with the goals of the two countries, activity and reflections occur in the Middle East region. The presence of powerful countries such as Turkey in the region carries the relations between the two principles to different dimensions. At this point, attitudes and behaviors may also show differences over the Syrian crisis.
