Iran has directly contributed to the slow and grinding collapse of Syria. to the enormous humanitarian crisis that has resulted. and to the destabilization of the region. There is a direct correlation between Irans destabilizing actions in Syria. but also in Yemen. Lebanon. and Iraq. and the migrant crisis now facing all of Western Europe. The more that Iran uses Mahan Airlines to transport the very goods that supply Hezbollah. the longer the instability inside Syria will persist and the more refugees and migrants will flee Syria toward our allies in Western Europe. Without the support of companies such as Mahan Air and the many front companies that it depends on. Iran and the IRGC would find supporting the Assad regime substantially more difficult and expensive.
