Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC] Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Syria would have been disintegrated had it not been for mobilized popular forces' participation in the Arab country's fight against terrorist groups.

IRGC Cmdr.: Popular Forces Prevented Syria’s Disintegration

"If it had not been for mobilized popular forces' in Syria, it would have surely been partitioned", General Jafari told reporters in Tehran on Thursday.

He further noted that the eradication of the self-proclaimed caliphate of Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] in Syria and Iraq was also materialized thanks to the presence of popular forces across the region.

"Daesh wanted to form a government in Syria and Iraq to fight the Islamic Revolution and axis of resistance in the name of Islam," Jafari said, adding, however, that this plot was thwarted with the help of the popular forces.

General Jafari further warned that Daesh is still a threat to the region, calling on Muslim countries to remain vigilant.

On November 19, Daesh was flushed out of its last stronghold in Syria's Albukamal. The city's liberation marked an end to the group's self-proclaimed caliphate it had declared in 2014.

In a message to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Quds Force Major General Soleimani declared that the notorious group's rule has come to an end with the accomplishment of a mission to liberate Syria's eastern city of Albukamal, near the Iraqi border.

Daesh terrorists made swift advances in northern and western Iraq over the summer of 2014, after capturing large areas of Syria.
