In this episode, we host the ambassador and former dean of the diplomatic corps in Moscow, Shawky Bounsar, for an in-depth analysis of regional and global changes. Bonsar reviews the course of the US-Iranian negotiations, considering it a “positive step” despite its complications. It explains the reasons that prompted both China and Russia to “refrain from engaging in any direct military confrontation.”
Bonsar reveals the details of the “defense agreement between Russia and Iran,” noting that “President Vladimir Putin did not sign it before deleting an essential clause from it.” It stops at the future of the “Iranian regime” and the possibilities of “its submission if it does not fall.” He also touches on Lebanese-Russian relations, explaining the reasons for “Gebran Bassil’s failure to open channels of communication with Moscow,” describing what he did as “unfortunate,” in exchange for highlighting the nature of “the relationship between Russia and Prime Minister Saad Hariri.”
Bonsar also reveals during the episode “the name of the third country to which Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may be transferred,” in addition to a comprehensive analysis of the scene of international understandings and their implications in the next stage, and other files.
