The study of the Causes of Advisory Presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Syria

The Islamic Republic of Iran is an important regional power in the Middle East, which has greatly strengthened its influence among the Shiites and other groups in the region. In the meantime, Iran's relationship with Syria is regarded as strategic ties, among which the reasons are: The existence of the Alawite government in Syria, helping Iran in Iraqi imposed war, the presence of Syria in the first line of resistance against the Israeli regime and the existence of a line of Iranian support for the Lebanese Hezbollah in Syria that have caused Iran to respond to any kind of crisis in that country. The recent crisis in Syria began in 2011, during which protests by Homs citizens turned into civil war by bringing in Takfiri terrorist groups from foreign countries. Therefore in support of the Syrian government, Iran entered into this crisis which was both a comprehensive support and an advisory one. According to this argument, the question of this article is that what is the quantity and quality of the presence of Iranian military advisers in Syria and what kind of purpose is being pursued? To answer this question, the causative and non-descriptive research method has been used and its purpose is to examine various dimensions of this presence and its causes. The overall result of the article is that Iran has entered the country's crisis with the aim of preserving the survival of the Syrian government and in the context of its comprehensive support, has expanded its military advisers to a large extent, which aims to increase its national security.
