Iran repopulates Syria with Shia Muslims to help tighten regime's control
The population swaps are central to a plan to make demographic changes to parts of Syria, realigning the country into zones of influence that backers of Bashar al-Assad, led by Iran, can directly control and use to advance broader interests.
They may be "led by Iran" but I'm old enough to remember when Al-Assad was backed by Saddam and Iraq, enemies of Iran. Funny how bad guys we don't like or don't play by our rules are always aligned with the enemy of the month.
