A report by the New York Times quoted sources as saying that among the personnel pulled out of the rebel-hit country are Quds Forces, a branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Guards personnel, Iranian diplomatic staff, and civilians are also among those being evacuated, according to officials. Some evacuees are being flown to Tehran, while others are departing by land through Lebanon, Iraq, or the Syrian port of Latakia.

Turkey, Iran and Russia to discuss Syria

Meanwhile, Turkey will attend a meeting with the Russian and Syrian delegations in Qatar on Saturday to discuss the escalating civil war in Syria.

Both Moscow and Tehran have offered military assistance to Assad to help him ward off the rebels while Ankara has supported various rebel movements and looked on their recent lightning advances favourably.

The meeting between the three nations will take place under the Astana process initiated by Kazakhstan in 2017, aimed at achieving a political resolution to Syria’s civil war.
