Under Assad, Syria in 2024 continued its political and military support to terrorist groups. The Assad regime provided weapons and political support to Hizballah and allowed Iran to rearm and finance the terrorist organization. It continued to rely heavily on external actors, Russia and Iran, to fight opponents and secure territory. Under Assad, the U.S.-designated IRGC remained present and active in the country. Additionally, IAMGs from Iraq, some of which were U.S.-designated FTOs, continued to travel to Syria on behalf of Iran and the Assad regime, with some IAMGs launching attacks on bases hosting U.S. personnel and partner forces in Syria.
