Syrian Civil-War Development

The sudden collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has sparked rumors that internal betrayal among Assad’s inner circle expedited his downfall. Unconfirmed reports suggest key military commanders, frustrated by dwindling resources and international isolation, facilitated the surrender of Damascus. Some speculate that Iran, previously a staunch ally, quietly reduced support for Assad in favor of strengthening its proxy presence in Iraq and Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) has allegedly received covert Western funding to accelerate its advance, though this remains unverified. Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Quneitra have raised questions about potential coordination with rebel groups to counter Iranian influence. There are also whispers that ISIS, though officially weakened, may be regrouping to exploit the post-Assad chaos .
