Another reason is that the Syrians are war weary and their assets are pretty depleted.
Then do not make laughable claims of ''encircling Israel'' or ''bringing the fight to israel'' when Syria itself is in a existential battle.
Another reason is that they are focusing on launching a major offensive in Idlib in the new year and they are still fighting left over rebel remnants in Daara area and ISIS in the desert and they Turks are also threatening in the north.
Yes, the Israelis have been succesful forcing you guys to fight for your own survival. They are just sending their mercenaries while you have to use your main army and your whole country.
Also when it comes to foreign powers fighting on another nations soil, no nation wants that, not the Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, nobody.
I thought Syria and Iran had a defence pact ? That includes deploying Iranian troops on Syrian soil to fight off any aggression. And yes, that includes Israeli aggression as well.
Turkish proxies are being targeted and are being blown up daily in Syria by Russian airforce, Syrian airforce and Syrian / Iranian drones. I've posted several links in the last couple of days on the Chill section of this site.

Multiple TFSA fighters killed tonight amidst attempts to take Mu'alaq
You made it sound like Syria was attacking Turkish backed forces everyday! Which is totally false.. a few attacks here and there and then silence and then a few attacks again does not make it a daily occurrence.
.
Also when the UAE/Egypt blew up 3 Turkish HAWK SAM batteries, did Turkey retaliate ? Nope
This has already been addressed... Turkey never talked about ''harsh revenge'' like what clown IR is doing against Israel.
Like I said, Iran's strategy in regards to Israel is long term and in the big picture Iran has succeeded in Iraq and Syria.
Lie, lie and once again a total lie ! There has never been a proper and sound strategy to fight Israel. Remember, you were supposed to fight Israel, but instead they took the fight against one of your major allies and now you are struggling to keep alive rather than fighting the Israelis.
Israel has failed to achieve most of its goals, namely to completely overthrow the Assad regime and turn Syria into a complete, unsalvageable disaster where Iran would lose all of its influence.
You are a fool if you think Israel's goal was to topple Assad. Israel's goal has always been to turn Syria into a failed state where its major ally Iran and Hezbollah getting trapped in a quagmire. Israel has been succesfull in achieving this.
Also the Israeli's funded, equipped and even gave emergency medical aid to rebels on their border. They did not want SAA or Iranian assets on their border.
As they should be.. and as you should be doing too. They are quite succesful in cucking SAA (whatever is left of them) Hezbollah and IRGC.
They wanted a buffer of rebels on their border on top of occupying the Golan heights. That Zionist backed buffer made up of ISIS and other foreign backed insurgents is gone.
There is no major need for this. They can just airstrike very easily any target approaching their borders. That is why SAA and IRGC are afraid to take any action against Israeli borders. They will just roast any target with airstrikes.
Some fighters fight defensively, some fighters fight proactively. Just because a fighter is not super aggressive, does not mean that that fighter isn't going to win the match.
Just excuses to cover up lies and incompetence. The reality on the ground is that Hezbollah/SAA/IRGC are getting pummeled by Israeli airforce without being able to retaliate properly. It is a joke, the world is laughing at you.
Iran is certainly taking punches from Israel in Syria but they're not even putting a dent on Iran's ambitions in Syria. They're something like glaring shots, punches that mostly get deflected.
''Irans ambitions'' LOL
You talk like as if IR had a great grand planned strategy regarding Syria.. They just went there when they were trapped in a existential battle. Do not make it big out of thin air.
Like I said in fighting some times an opponent will throw a punch or feint just to get a dangerous trap.
Yes while the spectators are yawning at this one sided match. Keep receiving the blows bro.
The "what keeps me up at night" quote by the Israeli analyst / pundit was made by him not myself. The Zionists DO NOT want another nuclear deal. They do not want Iran to reap the financial rewards and have access to the global market or its billions in frozen funds.
Why would they even be concerned ? At the most the Palestinian jihad group will receive more money and fire a few more useless fireworks on empty fields in Israel. Will hardly threaten Israel's make up as a nation. Like i said, they have total superiority over you. No need to be concerned.
The Israelis want Iran to remain a financial pariah. Their main goal at the moment is escalate, get Iran to retaliate so they can point the finger and say "You see Iran is the evil aggressor, how can you, America, my ALLY, do business with such a fiend"
They have been pretty succesfull doing that without IR retaliating. IR is a international pariah already, totally cut off from any financial institution... under major sanctions, sabotage, murders etc So you have nothing to lose really, better retaliate and save some face and standing and most importantly, deterrence.
That was the entire idea behind killing the nuclear scientist. Well atleast that is what some analysts believe. That is what I myself believe as well. The Israeli's want escalation. They want Iran to retaliate immediately. They've set a dangerous trap. Should Iran give it to them or should Iran retaliate in kind at a time of Iran's choosing, at a time and place that is optimal for Iran ?
Already explained to you. Iran has nothing to lose by retaliating and settling the scores. What are they going to do ? Put more sanctions ? Block sale of F-22's to Iran ?
The game of geo-politics is a long term chess game, My friend, I understand your frustration, that you want revenge, you want Iran to retaliate, but there is an optimal time and place for that. Also it's best to hit the enemy when they least expect it. Not when they just struck and are anticipating major retaliation.
Sorry but i chuckled a little bit here. You make it sound like as if the IR is some sort of huge major power deeply involved in a chess game with its opponent and waiting for the right time to strike. What a joke. IR is in deep s.hit. It has no proper options and you know it. Like stated before, IR is yet to retaliate for the 6 assassinated scientists, natanz, parchin,cyber and many many other undercover attacks that were kept under the rug. You ain't fooling anyone here buddy.
Iran's missiles and air force assets are strictly reserved to defend Iran's borders. There are tiny exceptions here and there but for the most part they're reserved to defend Iran directly.
So what is the talk about fighting Israel then if these weapons are only reserved for Iran ? These are the most high quality weaponry Iran has. What weapons are they going to reserve for ''the ultimate fight against Israel'' ?
Honestly if you think of a last 40 years, in my opinion Khomeini was far too aggressive and Khamenei is a little too reserved.
Khomeini did the right thing in his era. Achieved deterrence with the US early on despite some setbacks. Back then Iran's army was very weak and no allies and groups in the region that could help him... the man did a phenomenal job. He was also never afraid and Iran gained utmost respect from the whole world. Fast forward now, IR is a joke compared to back then.
Even when the Taliban killed those Iranian hostages in the late 90's, I mean realistically Iran could have very easily launched devastating surgical strikes against the Taliban right ?
Two major factors why Iran did not even retaliate against the Taliban..
1.Khamenei was (is and always has been) a cuck leader. A coward.
2.Iran's armed forces were not in a state to launch such a attack.. war with Iraq had been concluded just recently.
but for whatever reason the Iranian leadership were satisfied enough not to atleast bomb a few Taliban targets.
Honestly, for you it is just ''for whatever reason''. To the rest of the world it is pretty clear that the IR will not engage in a major operation without US consent. I think that is pretty much agreed on by everyone.
