The Syrian government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has started a major diplomatic shift toward Western and regional powers. This change is happening at the same time that the United States is updating its strategic goals regarding Iran.

由總統 Ahmed al-Sharaa 領導的敘利亞政府，已開始向西方及區域強權進行重大的外交轉型。與此同時，美國也正在更新其針對伊朗的戰略目標。

Since the removal of the Assad regime in December 2024, the Syrian government has moved from international isolation to active engagement. Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani has led this effort by building practical relationships with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and France. A key achievement was starting the process to remove Syria from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, which was supported by Saudi mediation. However, while Syria wants peaceful relations with its neighbors, talks with Israel have not progressed because Israeli forces continue to expand into Syrian territory. Consequently, Damascus has strengthened its ties with Russia to create a balance against Israeli actions.

自 2024 年 12 月 Assad 政權被推翻以來，敘利亞政府已從國際孤立轉向積極參與。外交部長 Asaad al-Shaibani 領導了這項努力，與沙烏地阿拉伯、卡တာ及法國建立了實質關係。一項關鍵成就是開始將敘利亞從美國的「支持恐怖主義國家」名單中除名，此舉得到了沙烏地阿拉伯的調解支持。然而，儘管敘利亞希望與鄰國維持和平關係，但與以色列的談判並未取得進展，因為以色列軍隊繼續擴張進入敘利亞領土。因此，大馬士革加強了與俄羅斯的關係，以在以色列的行動中取得平衡。

Meanwhile, the United States has changed its approach toward Iran. During a NATO summit in Turkey, President Donald Trump described the Iranian regime as a 'cancer,' suggesting that the U.S. is moving from simply containing Iran to trying to dismantle its system. This strategy uses a combination of internal instability in Iran and pressure from surrounding countries. Specifically, the U.S. is trying to use Syria's influence to put pressure on Hezbollah in Lebanon. At the same time, Israel is working to create security buffers in Gaza and improve intelligence against Ansar Allah in Yemen.

與此同時，美國改變了對伊朗的處理方式。在土耳其舉行的 NATO 峰會期間，總統川普將伊朗政權描述為「癌症」，暗示美國正從單純的圍堵伊朗轉向嘗試拆解其體制。這一策略結合了伊朗內部的不穩定以及周邊國家的壓力。具體而言，美國試圖利用敘利亞的影響力向黎巴嫩的真主黨施壓。與此同時，以色列正致力於在加薩建立安全緩衝區，並提升針對也門 Ansar Allah 的情報能力。

Additionally, Turkey continues to act as a regional stabilizer and economic partner. Ankara recently signed an agreement for an undersea natural gas pipeline with Northern Cyprus to improve energy security. Furthermore, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has held talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, emphasizing the need for stable relations between Lebanon and Syria to ensure security in the region.

此外，土耳其繼續扮演區域穩定者與經濟夥伴的角色。安卡拉最近與北賽普勒斯簽署了一項海底天然氣管道協議，以提升能源安全。此外，總統 Erdogan 與黎巴嫩總理 Nawaf Salam 舉行了會談，強調黎巴嫩與敘利亞之間需要穩定關係，以確保該地區的安全。

Syria is currently working hard to gain international acceptance, while the United States is using a more aggressive strategy to reduce Iranian influence across West Asia.

敘利亞目前正努力獲得國際認可，而美國則採取更激進的策略，以減少伊朗在西亞的影響力。
