"Iran Withdraws Senior IRGC Officers from Syria Amid Rising Tensions"

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has reportedly recalled senior officers from Syria and will rely more on regional proxies, particularly Hezbollah, amid increased targeted strikes in the region, blamed on Israel. Tehran is said to be reluctant to be drawn into an all-out war in the Middle East and is reducing its presence in Syria, while still managing operations remotely. The decision comes after an alleged intelligence breach in Syrian security forces, and Iran is reportedly recruiting fighters from Afghanistan and Pakistan to deploy in Syria.
