Researcher Maen Tallaa to Welat TV: Iran Will Not Be Part of the Region’s New Security Architecture

Welat TV – Erbil

Syrian political analyst Dr. Maen Tallaa warned that the current Israel-Iran confrontation is dangerous on all fronts, adding that Iran’s long-term regional investments give it the ability to reignite multiple conflict files.

In an interview with Welat TV on Thursday, June 19, 2025, Tallaa stated: "Any Israeli dominance will subject the region to a unilateral Israeli vision that doesn't serve the broader interest of all parties."

He pointed out that current trajectories aim to topple the Iranian regime or force it into a state of prolonged dysfunction.

Tallaa emphasized that American involvement would internationalize the crisis and bury the diplomatic track, saying: "U.S. entry into the war would fragment the regional files and shift the crisis onto a global scale."

Iran’s Strategy in the Conflict

According to Tallaa, Iran is focused on inflicting internal damage and causing societal unrest within Israel, particularly to weaken Prime Minister Netanyahu’s political standing. "Tehran is banking on diplomatic mediation and political bargaining," he said, adding that Iraq may also become an indirect front in this proxy conflict.

Ending Iran’s Role in the Region

Tallaa noted a silent alignment between Arab interests and Israel’s position on Iran, citing the destabilization caused by Tehran’s regional policies.

"Iran's only way out is either to officially end its destructive projects or return to political negotiations to spare the region further disaster," he stated.

He concluded: "Iran will not be part of the new regional security order—Israel will be the main power shaping it." Tallaa warned that the ongoing war could further delay Syria’s development, negatively impacting gas markets, air travel, currency exchange rates, and trade dynamics.
