Iran has abruptly abandoned Assad and begun reaching out to opposition rebels, a senior Iranian official told Reuters, in what is seen as an attempt to prevent a hostile trajectory between the two countries.

The meteoric rise of a militia alliance led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a former al-Qaeda affiliate, marked one of the biggest turning points for the Middle East in generations. Assad’s fall as president would create a bastion from which Iran and Russia could exert influence across the Arab world. The senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran’s clerical rulers, facing the loss of a key ally in Damascus and the return of Donald Trump to the White House in January, were open to engaging with Syria’s new leaders.

"This engagement is key to stabilizing ties and avoiding further regional tensions," the Iranian official told Reuters.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will deliver a speech in Tehran on Wednesday, focusing on developments in the Middle East, the official Iranian news agency IRNA reported, following recent developments in Syria, where Iran has been one of Bashar al-Assad's strongest supporters for years.

Meanwhile, Assad's other ally, Moscow, is considering its presence in Syria and its two bases. "At the moment it is premature to talk about maintaining Russia's military presence in Syria, the issue will be discussed with the local authorities," said Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "It is too early to talk about this.

"In any case, this is a topic of discussion with those who will be in power in Syria," Peskov told reporters when asked whether Russia hopes to maintain its military presence in Syria. For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin has no plans to meet with Bashar al-Assad, who received political asylum in Moscow after fleeing Syria.

It is known that the rebel flag was raised over the Syrian embassy in Moscow. Speaking on Sky News in the United Kingdom, British minister Pat McFadden suggested that England could consider changing the status of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which London currently designates as a terrorist group. "We will consider it. And I think it will partly depend on what happens," McFadden said. The British government labeled Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in May 2017 as a terrorist organization.
