Khamenei on Syria Coup: Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has given his strong reaction to the recent coup in Syria. He clearly termed America and Israel as the main conspirators of this incident. Khamenei said in his address that "no one should doubt that what has happened in Syria is part of a deep conspiracy of America and Israel."Role of neighboring country in the conspiracyIn his statement, Khamenei accused America and Israel as well as a neighboring country of Syria. Without naming it, he said, "A neighboring country of Syria has played an important role in this conspiracy, and it is still doing so." This statement has further heated up the discussion in global and regional circles about which country Khamenei is pointing towards.Possible neighboring countries of SyriaSyria's neighboring countries include Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey. Given the strong presence of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iraq's good relations with Iran, there is less suspicion on these countries. But the names of Jordan and Turkey are repeatedly coming up in these incidents.Questions on Jordan's roleGiven Jordan's history and its role, the needle of suspicion is pointing at this country. Jordan has been close to America for a long time and has been helping Israel.Jordan's alliance with Israel: Jordan has previously also intercepted Iran's missile and drone attacks while cooperating with Israel.US military base: US military presence in Jordan also makes it strategically important.Refugee problem: A large number of Palestinian and Syrian refugees live in Jordan. The presence of these refugees has complicated the country's social and political landscape.Deepening allegations on TurkeyOn the other hand, Turkey has the longest border area of 909 kilometers with Syria. Turkey's activities and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statements indicate that Turkey may also be indirectly involved in this coup.Kurdish issue and northern Syria: Turkey has been conducting military operations against Kurdish fighters for a long time. A coup within Syria may increase pressure on the Kurds, which will be beneficial for Turkey.Syrian refugee crisis: Turkey is home to more than 3.2 million Syrian refugees. Erdogan has recently announced the opening of the border with Syria, ensuring the voluntary return of refugees.Trade relations with Israel: Even though Erdogan publicly makes statements against Israel, his trade relations often appear contradictory.Iran's allegations: A complex equationIran has not only directly blamed the US and Israel, but has also put regional politics in the dock. Iran allegedly has evidence that strengthens these allegations.What is the future of the Syrian coup?These events of coup in Syria can have a profound impact on the Assad government and regional stability. The allegations leveled on the US and Israel can further worsen the already tense relations in the Middle East.ConclusionThe statement of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei not only exposes the conspiracy behind the Syrian coup, but it also underlines the complex geopolitics in the Middle East. The allegations leveled on the US and Israel as well as Jordan and Turkey show that the Syrian crisis is not just an internal matter of one country, but has become the center of conflict between global and regional powers.
