Journalists Agency Reuters entered an abandoned Iran Embassy in Damascus and on that occasion that he found that Iran planned to take a key role in the post-war rebuilding, provided that the forces of the former President Bashar Al-Assad defeat the rebels.
In the embassy, they entered December, a month after a sudden offensive rebel forces led to the fall of Assad’s regime and his withdrawal in Russia. For years ago, Iran provides military, logistical and financial support to Assad, but his departure lost his important ally in the region.
The document found in the embassy has 33 pages and describes in detail the Syria renewal plan after the expected victory of the regime forces. According to the document, the goal was to gradually establish a complete economic dependence of Damascus from Tehran.
On several occasions, the American Marshall’s plan for the renovation of Europe was stated after World War II, with the assertion that the United States of America “made Europe dependent” – the principle that Iran intended to apply to Syria.
The value of the proposed Iranian plan was estimated at about 400 billion dollars. Among the most important projects, the construction of a power plant in Latakia worth 411 million euros, a bridge on the EUFrate of $ 26 million, and the installation of oil exploitation in eastern Syria.
About 40 infrastructure and industrial projects are mentioned in the documents that Reuters reviewed. Only from that sample, it is estimated that the debts of Syria towards Iranian companies at the end of the war, at least 178 million dollars. Former Iranian parliamentary agents have publicly claimed that the total debt Assad’s government towards Tehran crossed $ 30 billion.
However, the new Syrian authority led by President Ahmed Al-Shar already signaled that he would not admit those debts, stating that “Iran left the deep wound from which the Syrian people had yet to recover.”
