Since the start of the so-called “Arab spring”. This spring brought dangerous surprises that will turn the political equations in the region upside down. One the most important implications is the regime change of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with its uncalculated risks on the Iraqi-Syrian-Iranian relationships.
Although the Badr Brigade, the military wing of the Islamic Supreme Council that organized a public demonstrations of the Al-Quds Day, which is the first of its kind after the fall of the former regime, but it is clear that this is only the beginning. It is expected to start other attempts to re-mobilize the people toward a possible confrontation with Israel (and maybe with the US) in the name of Palestine.
Post-occupation 2003, Palestinians in Iraq accused, chased tortured and killed with charge of being agents of Saddam by the same people who are organizing “Quds Day” today. Even the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas couldn’t find any Iraqi official to receive him in order to discus the crisis of the Palestinian refugees in the desert, other than the Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani in order to host the refugees in Kurdistan. But today appears very different, What is happening within Syria made the Iranian leaders to recalculate their choices in Iraq and mix the cards based on the beats of war-drums.
Before 2003, Saddam created “Al-Quds Army” to gain the Arab support. Now it is the same scenario all over again, but this time the order came from Tehran.
