What is happening in Syria is pure insanity, here's my little breakdown of the wider geopolitical situation from what I'm understanding from scrolling through Arab Facebook and Telegram today.
There are basically two opposing sides when it comes to how to do deal with the new Jihadi government in Syria. One side is pro-cooperation and consolidation of the new government, and the other side is pro-chaos and making it as hard as possible for the new regime to gain any legitimacy both internally in Syria and internationally. Here's how the situation currently looks if we're talking major regional players:
Pro-regime: Saudi, Qatar, Sunni Syrians, most other Arab states and Turkey
Pro-chaos: Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Hezbollah, SDF, minority Syrians and Israel
So we have a rare situation where the interests of Iran and Israel converge and they're both interested in making any effective ruling difficult for the Jihadis. The Israelis' partners in this clusterfuck are the Druze in Southern Syria, and some possible backdoor collaboration with Syrian Kurds in Eastern Syria. The Iranians still have good relations with former SAA members and are popular with Alawites and other Shia-adjacent groups in Syria, which is why they're backing them in Western Syria on the coast. Iranian and Axis media also seems to have shifted towards a more positive coverage of the SDF. I personally don't even have a take at this point, this is all developing way too quickly.
The language and symbols used by the "resistance" in Latakia today are completely Iranian/Axis-coded. The coverage by Iranian media also seems way bigger than usual and suggests that the Iranians are fully backing this movement and probably smuggling weapons to them through the chaos of the Lebanese and Iraqi borders and SDF-controlled areas. Don't expect anything from Russia, they will be on the sidelines watching for this, and Iran will also not take an official supporting stance as long as this doesn't snowball into a larger armed confrontation.
