WHAT IS HIDDEN FROM YOU?
Syrian Civil War.
Estimates vary due to the chaos and under-reporting.Approximately 656,000 total deaths (combatants + civilians) as of March 2025.
Civilian deaths alone: UN-verified minimum 307,000 by 2021 (widely acknowledged as a significant undercount); Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) documents over 230,000 civilians, with the former Assad regime and allies like Iran responsible for the vast majority (91% in some tallies).
1991 Gulf War (US-led coalition vs. Iraq after its invasion of Kuwait; Operation Desert Storm)Role.
Iran did not join the coalition or oppose it militarily but It seized and held ~80–100 Iraqi military and civilian aircraft that fled to Iranian airspace (declaring them “confiscated” until the war ended), which indirectly benefited the coalition by denying Saddam those assets. Iran also cut off Iraqi access to the Gulf.
2001 US/NATO Invasion of Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom, post-9/11)Role of Iran.
Active, quiet cooperation with the US-led effort. Iran (a longtime backer of the Northern Alliance against the Taliban) provided intelligence, suggested targets, allowed humanitarian aid transit, and helped mobilize anti-Taliban forces. It played a major diplomatic role at the December 2001 Bonn Conference, helping establish the post-Taliban interim government under Hamid Karzai.
