Iran continues to threaten america with navy motion to dissuade america from a strike on Iranian nuclear services amid new US threats to strike the nuclear services. US President Donald Trump said on March 30 that “there can be a bombing” if Iran doesn’t make a brand new nuclear deal.[1] Trump added that he would impose secondary tariffs on Iran if Iran made no progress in the direction of a deal.[2] Secondary tariffs would impose sanctions on international locations that commerce with Iran.

Iranian officers have lately threatened the next responses to a US-Israeli strike on Iran. These programs of motion should not mutually unique.
- Assault US bases and forces: Iranian officers have repeatedly explicitly threatened to assault US bases and forces within the area in latest months.[7] An unspecified senior Iranian navy official informed Western media on March 29 that Iran would goal Diego Garcia Island within the Indian Ocean if america attacked Iran.[8] America has lately elevated its navy presence at Diego Garcia Island, based on commercially accessible satellite tv for pc imagery.[9] An nameless official additionally informed Tehran Occasions that Iran’s missile launchers at its underground bases are loaded with missiles and “prepared for launch.”[10] Iran’s reported present most missile vary is 2000 kilometers (km), and its reported most drone vary is round 2500km.[11] Diego Garcia Island is situated about 3700km from Iran’s southernmost metropolis, Pasabandar. Iran would want to considerably lower the payload of the warhead on its medium-range missiles or in any other case lower missile weight to launch a profitable assault on Diego Garcia. Iran may goal different US services within the area if it selected to take action. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Power Brigadier Basic Amir Ali Hajizadeh threatened on March 31 that US bases within the area are “sitting in a glass home” close to Iran.[12]
- Disrupt worldwide commerce: IRGC Navy Commander Admiral Alireza Tangsiri prompt on March 29 that Iran might shut the Strait of Hormuz if america and Israel assault Iran.[13] Tangsiri additionally threatened to grab ships if Iranian ships have been seized.
- Conduct a direct assault on Israel: Senior Iranian navy commanders have lately resurfaced threats to conduct one other missile assault on Israel.[14] Iran unveiled its newest precision-guided ballistic missile referred to as the “Etemad” in February 2025.[15] Iranian media referred to the missile because the “Israeli ballistic missile” as a result of it could possibly reportedly hit key targets throughout Israel.[16] Iran’s stockpile of medium-range missiles, or missiles that may attain Israel, has been severely depleted following the April and October 2024 Israeli airstrikes on Iran, nevertheless.
Iranian officers have publicly said that they’re unwilling to make concessions to succeed in a brand new nuclear take care of america beneath President Trump’s desired timeline or phrases. Iranian sources said that Trump’s March 5 letter to Iranian Supreme Chief Ali Khamenei included calls for that Iran curtail its missile program and its position in supporting its proxies and companions within the Axis of Resistance.[17] A senior Iranian navy official said on March 29 that Iran will “by no means negotiate” on its missiles or the “capabilities” of the Axis of Resistance.[18] CTP-ISW beforehand assessed that Iran is unlikely to conform to curtail its missile program or the Axis of Resistance as a result of to take action would trigger it to lose the first means with which it seeks to expel america from the area and set up itself because the regional hegemon. An unspecified senior Iranian supply individually informed a UK-based, Gulf-linked outlet that Trump’s letter refers back to the “zero enrichment” strategy.[19] It stays unclear if Iran is prepared to reverse important progress on its nuclear program to fulfill the phrases. Western media additionally reported in mid-March that Trump’s letter set a two-month deadline to succeed in a brand new nuclear deal.[20] Prior negotiations for the 2015 nuclear deal, or Joint Complete Plan of Motion (JCPOA), took 20 months to barter.
Iran is probably going rebuilding its solid-fuel propellant shares after Israeli strikes broken key manufacturing websites in October 2024.[21] The sanctioned Iranian cargo vessel Jairan, which is carrying sodium perchlorate, a chemical used to make strong missile gasoline, arrived close to Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, round March 29.[22] Marine Visitors and Maritime Govt confirmed that the Jairan, certainly one of two Iranian Delivery Traces (IRISL) vessels sanctioned for transporting missile supplies, is ready close to the Gheshm and Hormoz islands. Western officers informed The Monetary Occasions in January 2025 that Golbon and Jairan would ship over 1,100 tons of sodium perchlorate to Iran.[23] The IRGC’s Self Sufficiency Jihad Group (SSJO), which partially oversees Iran’s missile analysis and improvement, acquired many of the cargo offloaded by Golbon on February 13.[24] Israeli strikes in October 2024 broken three main long-range missile manufacturing websites in Iran, together with the Shahroud Navy Web site in Semnan Province and the Khojir and Parchin complexes in Tehran Province.[25] The switch of the Jairan’s cargo to certainly one of these areas would counsel that Iran is attempting to rebuild its long-range missile manufacturing capabilities after the Israeli strikes. Iran may additionally switch the sodium perchlorate to a facility that produces short-range ballistic missiles.
Iran continues to coordinate with Russia and China on nuclear points. Iranian Deputy Overseas Minister for Authorized and Worldwide Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi met with Russian Ambassador to Iran Alexey Dedov in Tehran on March 31 to debate nuclear talks and sanctions reduction.[26] Gharibabadi stated Iran, Russia, and China will proceed trilateral conferences and that Russia invited him to a UN Constitution group assembly in Moscow in mid-April. The assembly follows a March 14 joint assertion from Russia, China, and Iran that condemned US sanctions and described Iran’s nuclear actions as “peaceable.”[27] It stays unclear what Iran hopes to realize from this coordination or how Russia and China plan to help Tehran beneath rising US strain. CTP-ISW beforehand assessed that Russia is unlikely to safe US pursuits via mediation, notably in talks on Iran’s nuclear program and help of the Axis of Resistance.[28]
Syrian Interim President Ahmed al Shara appointed loyalists to key cupboard positions within the new transitional authorities whereas nominally broadening his ruling coalition by appointing a number of minorities and technocrats to less-critical ministries. Shara introduced the appointments of 23 transitional ministers to his cupboard throughout a press convention on March 29.[29] These ministers are anticipated to stay in energy till the transitional authorities cedes energy to a brand new, elected authorities after a five-year interim interval.[30] Shara changed the vast majority of former interim ministers with new appointments and appointed one girl, one Christian, one Alawite, one Druze, and two Kurds to guide ministries inside his authorities.[31] Shara additionally appointed 9 ”impartial” ministers, together with numerous professionals, former activists, and former Assad-era ministers who served of their positions earlier than the civil warfare.[32] He additionally dismissed the previous interim justice minister, who was an ex-Jabhat al Nusra official.[33] These are undoubtedly constructive steps in the direction of a consultant transitional authorities, however Shara nonetheless prioritized sustaining his management over key ministries akin to protection, inside, international affairs, and justice by appointing Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS)-affiliated officers or former HTS-controlled Syrian Salvation Authorities (SSG) officers to those posts.[34] He additionally appointed former HTS and SSG officers to the much less necessary ministries of vitality, native administration and setting, public works and housing, youth and sports activities, and administrative improvement.[35] The choice to broaden his transitional cupboard to incorporate minorities and “newcomers” follows widespread concern that Shara is personalizing energy and appointing loyalists whereas blocking alternatives to symbolize Syria’s numerous minority communities within the transitional authorities.[36] Shara beforehand appointed a cupboard practically completely composed of bureaucrats that previously served within the Idlib-based SSG.[37]
Shara’s appointments of long-time loyalists to key positions counsel Shara hopes to proceed to keep up his personal and HTS’s affect inside the transitional authorities. Shara has appointed or reappointed shut advisers and allies from HTS to supervise portfolios immediately regarding inside safety and state stability. Shara has retained two of his most trusted advisors, Main Basic Marhaf Abu Qasra and Asaad al Shaibani, as ministers of protection and international affairs, respectively.[38] Former al Qaeda in Iraq and Jabhat al Nusra member Anas Khattab has transitioned from intelligence chief to Inside Minister, the place he’ll oversee the state’s Basic Safety Companies, border management, and intelligence companies.[39] America and the UN sanctioned Khattab in 2012 and 2014, respectively, for his affiliation with AQI.[40] It isn’t clear if or who Shara will appoint to immediately oversee Syrian intelligence companies, given the enlargement of Khattab’s position. Shara additionally appointed “key HTS ideologue” and Sunni scholar Mazhar al Wais as his Justice Minister.[41] Arab media has reported that Wais has served as a ”senior authorized determine” in HTS and has accompanied Shara to quite a few high-level conferences with out having been appointed to an official position.[42] Shara’s resolution to place these loyalists in these roles will allow him to form the trajectory of the Syrian authorities and its safety companies, which may permit him to keep up his rule effectively into the longer term. Qasra, Shaibani, Khattab, and Wais’s appointments counsel that Shara intends to keep up important management over ministries that immediately concern inside safety and state stability, and it may allow him to sideline rivals as he did throughout his rule of Idlib.
Shara notably didn’t place seen loyalists in ministries that will permit Syrian Islamists to remake Syrian society of their picture. Shara has allowed non-HTS officers to guide ministries that immediately affect Syrian society, together with schooling, info, communications, and spiritual endowments.[43] These ministries—notably schooling—can be utilized to remake the following technology of a rustic by altering textbooks. The Assad regime and different Center Japanese autocratic regimes—just like the Houthis in Yemen and ISIS—have created academic supplies to brainwash the following technology. Shara most likely acknowledged that putting loyalists or ideologues in these roles would have earned him important worldwide blowback and created extra challenges for his effort to take away sanctions. Shara may nonetheless make use of a “supervisory” system wherein deputy ministers make the choices and maintain the true energy whereas the minister serves as a figurehead.
Shara’s new transitional authorities is unlikely to assuage fears from minority communities about the way forward for minority illustration within the transitional authorities and the trajectory of Shara’s rule. Shara’s clear choice for Sunni Arabs, the only a few minorities, and the shortage of appointees from different sturdy Syrian events just like the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) or Kurdish Nationwide Council (KNC) has already led a number of minority-dominated teams to sentence his “one-party authorities.”[44] The Alawite group, for its half, stays deeply petrified of the brand new transitional authorities after the latest coastal massacres. The SDC decried the brand new authorities as “largely homogenous.”[45] A KNC official informed Kurdish media that the KNC ”won’t take part in a authorities that doesn’t acknowledge the rights of the Kurdish individuals.”[46] The official warned that the Kurds have been ignored for the ”third time,” probably referring to widespread Kurdish criticism over exclusion from the Nationwide Dialogue Convention, the drafting of the constitutional declaration, and the latest appointments.[47] Worry amongst key Kurdish powerbrokers that Shara will proceed to exclude their events from a voice in his authorities’s formation dangers disrupting the Syrian interim authorities’s efforts to combine the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the Syrian state.
The separatist Druze-majority Suwayda Navy Council (SMC) additionally rejected Shara’s “one-color” authorities throughout a press convention on March 30.[48] The group referred to as on Shara to type a authorities that ”represents all Syrian elements.”[49] The SMC is a gaggle of Druze fighters who have been beforehand aligned with the Assad regime.[50] A Western analyst lately reported that it’s ”well-known” inside the Druze group that the SMC has connections to Israel via members of the Israeli Druze group.[51] It doesn’t seem that the SMC represents a majority of the Syrian Druze inhabitants. That a number of camps throughout Syria proceed to reject Shara’s transitional authorities won’t assist develop the federal government’s legitimacy, nevertheless.
Shara appointed fifteen members to the Supreme Fatwa Council through presidential decree on March 28.[52] Shara’s decree stated that the council would challenge new fatwas on new developments, clarify Sharia rulings on instances which are referred to the council, appoint muftis and fatwa committees in Syrian provinces, and supervise fatwa facilities within the provinces.[53] The Supreme Council of Fatwa will rule on selections by majority vote, and Shara will vote as a tiebreaker if wanted.[54] HTS established a Supreme Fatwa Council in Idlib in 2019 that Shara successfully managed and used to sideline his hardline Islamist rivals.[55] Shara’s potential to make use of the council towards his rivals will rely upon his degree of affect over a majority of its council members. A number of notable HTS-affiliated students, together with Sheikh Abdul Rahim Atun, former HTS-backed Supreme Fatwa Council member Anas Ayrut, and new Minister of Justice Mazhar al Wais, sit on the brand new council.[56]
Shara appointed Sheikh Osama al Rifai because the council’s chairman.[57] The Syrian Islamic Council, which was a physique of Sunni Islamic students that opposed the Assad regime, appointed Rifai because the Grand Mufti in Syria in 2021 after the regime abolished the workplace.[58] Rifai has connections to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood.[59]

Iran may additionally switch the sodium perchlorate to a facility that produces short-range ballistic missiles.
- Syrian Transitional Authorities: Syrian Interim President Ahmed al Shara appointed loyalists to key cupboard positions within the new transitional authorities whereas nominally broadening his ruling coalition by appointing a number of minorities and technocrats to less-critical ministries. Shara notably didn’t place seen loyalists in ministries that will permit Syrian Islamists to remake Syrian society of their picture. Shara has allowed non-HTS officers to guide ministries that immediately affect Syrian society, together with schooling, info, communications, and spiritual endowments.
- Syrian Supreme Fatwa Council: Shara appointed fifteen members to the Supreme Fatwa Council through presidential decree on March 28. Shara’s decree stated that the council would challenge new fatwas on new developments, clarify Sharia rulings on instances which are referred to the council, appoint muftis and fatwa committees in Syrian provinces, and supervise fatwa facilities within the provinces.
Syria
The SDF and the Turkish-backed Syrian Nationwide Military have continued restricted engagements in northern Syria since March 28. The SDF reportedly tried to advance on SNA positions alongside the western financial institution of the Euphrates River close to Tishreen Dam on March 29.[60] The tempo of engagements has declined between Turkish-backed forces and the SDF alongside these traces of contact since early March. Turkish airstrikes concentrating on the SDF have additionally declined. A Democratic Union Occasion (PYD) international relations co-chair stated on March 30 that ”severe efforts” are ongoing to succeed in a ceasefire between the SDF and Turkey.[61] The SDF and Syrian interim authorities reached an preliminary ceasefire in early March that will place the SDF beneath the Protection Ministry.[62] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan informed Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 28 that he helps integrating the SDF into the Syrian Protection Ministry.[63]
The Suwayda Navy Council (SMC) introduced its goals and numerous items on March 30, indicating that the SMC is creating a formalized, organized construction.[64] The SMC is a gaggle of Druze fighters who have been beforehand aligned with the Assad regime, and a few Druze sources in Suwayda declare that Israel is supporting the SMC.[65] An unspecified SMC commander introduced on March 30 that the SMC is comprised of sixteen items, together with a Particular Duties Brigade, a Political Bureau, an Artillery Division, an Administrative and Monetary Division, an Organizational Division, and an Anti-Terrorism Battalion.[66] The unidentified commander said that the Navy Council‘s duties are “clear and stuck,“ together with making certain safety in Suwayda, preserving unity, establishing a secure setting that ensures freedoms, and coordinating with all nationwide and worldwide forces that ”search to attain the curiosity of Syrians.”[67] This announcement follows the March 21 assault by SMC members on Navy Council chief Colonel Tariq al Shoufi’s dwelling in Suwayda Province as a consequence of delayed wage funds.[68] Shoufi said that he didn’t conform to pay salaries and that the SMC has not totally formalized right into a construction that will require him to compensate members.[69] The SMC doesn’t have a proper relationship with the interim Syrian authorities and rejected the interim authorities cupboard introduced on March 29.[70]
Professional-Assad insurgents have continued assaults on interim Syrian authorities forces since March 28. Former Assad regime members attacked a police station in Latakia Metropolis on March 29.[71] Former Assad regime members individually attacked a Syrian safety drive patrol in Najha, south of Damascus, on March 30.[72] Safety forces killed two of the attackers.[73] Interim Syrian authorities forces then executed a cordon-and-search operation in Najha.[74]
Intelligence from native informants enabled a authorities raid concentrating on a weapons and explosives storage web site in al Waer, Homs Metropolis, suggesting that the insurgents have little to no help in al Waer.[75] Forces appearing on the tip from locals raided a weapons warehouse utilized by pro-Assad insurgents.[76] Forces seized small arms ammunition and RPGs that insurgents may have utilized in an assault.[77] The Assad regime besieged al Waer through the Syrian Civil Struggle, so, unsurprisingly, native residents could be unwilling to help insurgents who help the previous regime or its buildings. Correct, actionable intelligence from the locals means that al Waer is a comparatively non-permissive setting for the insurgents, who would want to safe at the least tacit acquiescence to their actions to ascertain a base of operations. The insurgents’ potential to analyze the leak and monitor down the informant can be a robust indicator of their relative energy in western Homs Metropolis.
The insurgents might have been utilizing al Waer as a brief method station to maneuver weapons into the town quite than a long-term stockpile. The seized cache was comparatively small, and al Waer is situated on the western outskirts of Homs Metropolis simply north of the M1 Freeway that connects Homs and the Alawite-majority coastal provinces. This might make it a logical waypoint between the Alawite-majority areas and Homs Metropolis’s middle, and the small cache is probably going reflective of a small cargo designed to be moved shortly.
Counterproductive authorities operations may threaten to drive help for insurgents in Talkalakh, Homs Province.

Insurgents very probably search to set off violent authorities reprisals to generate help for the insurgency.
Stories of violence towards Alawites proceed to permeate throughout Syrian media, fueling mistrust and concern among the many Alawite group. These studies will proceed to gasoline help for almost all Alawite rebel actions no matter their veracity. Two interim Syrian authorities troopers assassinated the chief of Harf al Benmira and 5 different males current in his dwelling on March 31.[81] The native Syrian safety drive commander reported that the perpetrators have been from a police unit and that they’d been arrested.[82] Arrests are inadequate to keep up the belief of the inhabitants except the perpetrators are additionally charged and imprisoned via a good and clear judicial course of. Locals individually found the our bodies of 11 executed Alawites dumped within the Jouber River, Baniyas Metropolis, Tartous Province, on March 31.[83] Professional-Alawite media accused interim authorities forces of the sectarian assault.[84] The informational impact generated by these studies fuels a cycle of mistrust among the many Alawite group, which discourages cooperation with the interim authorities. This might allow the insurgents to exchange the federal government as a authentic authority, at the least in western Syria.[85]

Khazali individually criticized Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al Sudani for eradicating the Standard Mobilization Forces (PMF) Regulation from the parliamentary agenda on March 12, describing the removing of the regulation as a “crime.”[95] The PMF Regulation would take away Standard Mobilization Committee Chairman Faleh al Fayyadh from his put up.
