Hezbollah and Iran fuel instability in Syria

The National Salvation Front of Syria (NSFS), led by Fahad Al-Masri, has strongly condemned Iran’s escalating interference in Syria, accusing Tehran of fueling instability through terrorist activities and military support to armed groups.

This condemnation follows Iran’s recent announcement of the formation of a new terrorist organization, the "Islamic Resistance in Syria", as well as the creation of a "military council" by remnants of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, many of whom are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

According to the NSFS, different coastal areas in Syria have witnessed a series of terrorist attacks targeting security forces and disrupting stability. T

he organization claims these incidents were pre-planned weeks ago and orchestrated with financial and military backing from Iran and Hezbollah.

The weapons and logistical support, according to the NSFS, were smuggled into Syria through Lebanese seaports and illegal land border crossings between Lebanon and Syria. 

The group views these activities as an unprecedented provocation directed at President Donald Trump’s administration, in what it describes as Iran’s desperate attempt to restore its lost influence in Syria following heavy setbacks.

In response to these developments, the NSFS is urging the U.S. administration and the international community to impose immediate sanctions and take decisive measures against Iran. The opposition group argues that Tehran’s actions directly undermine Syria’s sovereignty and regional stability, demanding accountability for its role in supporting terrorist operations.

Furthermore, the NSFS is calling on President Donald Trump to implement an "Iran Accountability Act," which would hold Iran responsible for war crimes and mass killings committed in Syria. The group proposes that Iran should pay a minimum of $500 billion in reparations to the Syrian people, with funds deducted from Iran’s oil and gas revenues, as well as confiscated assets worldwide.

Targeting Hezbollah’s Operations in Syria and Lebanon

The NSFS has also raised alarms about Hezbollah’s growing presence in Syria and Lebanon, claiming that the militia seeks to rebuild its military capabilities following recent setbacks. To counter Hezbollah’s influence, the group calls for:

• Cutting off Hezbollah’s financial and military resources.
• Targeting its leadership and restricting their movements.
• Implementing strict international monitoring of all Lebanese sea, land, and air border crossings to prevent arms smuggling and militant infiltration.

The NSFS is urging Syrian interim president Ahmad Al-Share’a to formally declare Iran as an enemy state and sever all diplomatic and economic relations with Tehran. The group also demands drastic measures against the Lebanese government for its role in enabling Hezbollah’s activities in Syria.

Additionally, the NSFS is calling for stringent border control measures, including:

• Banning Iranian nationals from entering Syria.
• Imposing strict conditions on individuals crossing from Lebanon and Iraq into Syria to curb Iranian influence.

As part of its broader security strategy, the NSFS is advocating for the deportation of all Iraqi refugees in Syria, particularly those with ties to Iran and Hezbollah. 

The group insists that any foreign nationals residing in Syria who pledge allegiance to Tehran’s regime should be expelled to safeguard national stability.

The National Salvation Front of Syria warns that Syria must not become a battleground for Iran’s regional ambitions and calls for urgent international intervention to counter Tehran’s destabilizing activities.

With tensions rising and foreign influence deepening, the question remains: Will Syria’s new leadership take bold steps to distance itself from Iran, or will Tehran’s interference continue to shape the country’s future?

For now, the NSFS remains firm in its position, calling for stronger action, stricter policies, and international cooperation to reclaim Syria’s sovereignty and ensure long-term peace and security.
