Abstract: (2576 Views)

The occurrence of popular and Arab uprisings in late 2010 and the influence of these movements came from Deraa in Syria. Given that the Syrian crisis is a multifaceted, complex, and diverse political and security crisis with contradictory and conflicting goals, the goal of writing this article explains the exact issue of the actors involved in this conflict through three levels of national, regional, and international strategies. Each domestic actor and foreign, regional and international advocate claim that their goals are that the preservation or fall of the state of Bashar al-Assad is at the heart of their strategic policies. The present article aims to investigate and explain the strategies of internal, regional and international triangles in the Syrian conflict by descriptiveanalytical method. In the Syrian crisis, there are two different attitudes. Some observers consider the crisis to be in the midst of popular movements in the Middle East and North Africa. In this regard, Syria, like other Arab and African countries, faces political, social and economic problems. From another perspective, the Syrian crisis is due to regional and international geopolitical equations and changes. Conclusion: Therefore, internal issues and changes in the role of regional powers and international equilibrium are the result of this historic challenge whose regional purpose is not to weaken the axis of resistance to Iran’s leadership and the role of Russia in Syria. In the internal dimension of this crisis, the continuation of popular uprisings should be considered as a platform for the rivalries and strategic policies of regional and trans-national powers, as well as internal-historical challenges.

Keywords: Syrian conflict, Resistance Front, Strategic Competitions. Internal factors.
