Perhaps Turkey, Iraq, Iran all agreeing a Kurdish state will increase stability in the region.
They're all supremacists for their own majority ethnicity (Turks, Arabs, Persians respectively) and will never want to give up land when they could lord it over a people they see as lesser to them. Especially Turkey, since Erdogan is openly racist against Kurds.
 

This comes after Russia suspended wheat exports to Syria on December 13 until further notice, citing “uncertainty regarding the new authority” and delays in settling previous financial dues.

The office
[United Nations Office] mentioned that more than 20 trucks loaded with humanitarian aid crossed from the Bab al-Hawa border crossing into Idlib.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported today, Friday, December 27, that a total of 58,350 Syrians have returned, 26% of whom are men, 28% are women, and 46% are children, most of whom returned from Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey.

The commission stated that the number of Syrians expected to return in the next six months of 2025 is around one million.
 

...Russia’s evacuation of military assets from Syria has hit a critical roadblock, as the cargo ship Sparta II has been denied access to the port of Tartus by the country’s new authorities.

Satellite imagery has revealed an extensive buildup of Russian military equipment at Tartus, including dismantled air defense radar systems and over 100 trucks staged for removal.

A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft has been deployed to monitor the Sparta II and broader developments in the Mediterranean, reflecting heightened interest in the implications of Russia’s repositioning.
 

A top Iranian general Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati has publicly criticized the nation Russia for allegedly misleading Tehran regarding the military operations in Syria.

In a pretty recent speech at a mosque in Tehran, Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati claimed that Russia assured Iran that its jets were targeting Syrian rebel positions but were actually bombing open desert areas instead. This stark accusation eventually marks a rare deviation from Iran's typically supportive diplomatic stance towards Russia.

The recent remarks of Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati actually reflect a growing frustration within Iran regarding its role in Syria and the perceived inadequacies of its ally, Russia.

I wonder if the end of Assad has shown that the high point of Russia-Iran relations has been reached and is going to fall from here. Instead, Iran has been cosying up to China for the last couple of years. Some might think that's much of a muchness because Russia and China are close, but I don't think that state of affairs will last forever.

China and Russia don't have common values, they just have a common goal right now: reducing Western hegemony. But what if they end up annoying each other and stop cooperating closely? China is apparently already annoyed about North Korea making moves to become Russia's client state rather than their own, such as North Korea sending troops to fight in Ukraine.

If that happens, I think Iran will fall into the China camp. But the difference is, China doesn't seem to care about having a military presence in the Middle East, so Iran will be fighting their own fight, and they might not be strong enough to do that for long.

There’s an obvious anti-U.S. bent to ties between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
China is the central player in this group. The group’s future cooperation will depend on China.

All Xi (not China, the Chinese people have no control over his criminal behaviour) wants is to.wear down and distract his potential rivals while continuing the largest military buildup in history so he massacre the Taiwanese, take more land from his peaceful neighbours (Bhutan, Vietnam, Japan, India, Indonesia, Philippines) and eventually Siberia.

Xi is quite comfortable with Nk sending troops to Russia, he approved and funded Russia's attack and a nuclear armed NK dictatorship suits his plans.
