Some Iranians are being transported by plane to Tehran, and some by land to Lebanon, Iraq and the Syrian port of Latakia, the sources said.

On Friday, Iran began evacuating its military personnel, as well as some diplomats and civilians from Syria. The New York Times reported this yesterday, citing Iranian officials.

According to the sources, an order was given to evacuate the Iranian Embassy in Damascus and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases.

Some Iranians are taken by plane to Tehran, while others are taken by land to Lebanon, Iraq and the Syrian port of Latakia.

Among those evacuated to neighboring Iraq and Lebanon were senior commanders of Iran’s Quds Force, a branch of the IRGC.

“We cannot fight as an advisory and auxiliary force if the Syrian army itself does not want to fight… Iran has realized that it can no longer deal with the situation in Syria through any military operation, and this option is not considered,” he told the publication Mehdi Rahmati, a prominent Iranian analyst who advises officials on regional strategy.

The newspaper notes that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi visited Damascus this week, met with President Bashar al-Assad and assured him of Iran’s full support.

But on Friday in Baghdad he made a more ambiguous statement: “We will not make predictions. Everything will be God’s will.”

The previous day, the media reported that units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured the main city in eastern Syria – Deir ez-Zor. It is the third major city in a week that Assad’s forces have lost control of.
