Der SWP-WebMonitor Nahost/Nordafrika ist ein unentgeltliches, kompaktes Informations-
produkt mit ausgewählten Hinweisen auf aktuelle Stellungnahmen, Dokumente und Analy-
sen zu allen (außen-) politisch relevanten Fragen und Entwicklungen der Region. Bei allen
Titeln gibt es einen Link, meistens direkt zum Volltext. Grundlage der Erstellung ist ein über-
wiegend festgelegtes Set an Quellen: Webseiten, Blogs, Zeitschriften etc. Der Auswahl-Fokus
liegt neben Dokumenten auf wissenschaftlichen bzw. wissenschaftlich basierten Beiträgen.
Neben Titeln mit konkretem Länder- bzw. Regionalbezug werden auch solche berücksichtigt,
deren Thematik relevant ist für die Region. Der WebMonitor wird i.d.R. ein- bis zweimal wö-
chentlich erstellt, nicht aber bei Abwesenheit des Bearbeiters.

Iran, the Coronavirus Crisis, and the Consolidation in Syria
Ephraim Kam
"Iran is not expected to cede its consolidation in Syria, despite its economic difficulties and the dan-
ger of extensive popular protest related to the coronavirus pandemic. But it is possible that Iran
will be forced to reduce its entrenchment activity in Syria, at least temporarily, mainly for economic
reasons. Against this backdrop, the question arises: could Iran try to take advantage of Israel's pre-
occupation with the coronavirus crisis to ignite a large scale conflict, especially through a strong
response to Israeli air strikes against Iranian and Shiite targets in Syria and Iraq? ..."
