Syria Bans Russian, Iranian, and Israeli Goods Amidst Regime Change
Syria’s newly installed government has enacted a sweeping ban on goods from Russia, Iran, and Israel, effective January 17th. All affected goods found at border crossings will be seized. This action follows a recent restriction on entry for citizens of Iran and Israel and comes amid burgeoning ties between Syria and Ukraine, which recently sent its first official delegation in years. The ban’s impact on regional stability and trade remains to be seen.
