Several months after the collapse of IS and the end of the civil war in Syria, followed by the US withdrawal from Syria and the withdrawal of foreign assistance to Baghdad, the Iraqi government is failing to improve the interior situation or to honour promises it made to the population. Following an upsurge in fighting between the regular army and Sunni and Shia militias, the Iraqi Prime Minister is assassinated. The most radical of the Shiite factions gains power and launches a purge of the army. The rebels (Free Iraqi Army) call upon Saudi Arabia and Turkey for help. The Saudi government, supported both by the hawks in power in the United Arab Emirates and Israel, attempts a new coup d’état in Baghdad to return power to the Sunnis and the Kurds, leading to direct Iranian military intervention in Iraq. In Egypt, the Sheikh of the Islamic Al-Azhar University calls for a Holy War against the Shiite governments in Damascus and Baghdad. His radical sermons are taken up by former Jihadists impatient to return to the region. Turkey uses this crusade as a pretext to attempt to eradicate the Syrian Kurds and to regain former Ottoman territories in northern Syria and Iraq. Russia reacts immediately, sending more troops to the Levant to defend at one and the same time its strategic interests in the region and the Syrian regime. Taking advantage of this regional chaos and profiting from the fact that the international community has its eyes fixed on Iraq and northern Syria, Israel launches a surprise attack on Lebanon and Syria to eradicate Hezbollah and the various radical Islamic militias threatening Israeli interests in the region, but also to expel the Iranian forces present in Syria and Lebanon. The Iranian regime sends an expeditionary corps to Syria to back up the Syrian regime, defend its own interests on the ground and expel the Israeli army from that country. The US government, shaken and unable to agree on a clear and
coherent policy, decides not to intervene immediately in what it perceives to be a religious war dividing the Muslim world. The US authorities nevertheless prepare to intervene in the event that one of the belligerents should cross their red lines. What was only intended as a lightning campaign in Iraq and Syria quickly becomes bogged down in a global war in the Middle East. (From the scenario book.)
