Assad unter Beschuss

SS: The Syrian conflict has intensified as opposition forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), seize key cities like Hama and Aleppo, exposing vulnerabilities in Assad’s regime. HTS’s push toward Damascus underscores their intent to topple Assad, while divisions among opposition groups and reduced Russian and Iranian support complicate the situation.

Russia’s naval base at Tartus and Iran’s diminished regional influence face potential threats, further destabilizing Assad’s position. With the regime struggling to regroup and opposition forces advancing, the conflict’s outcome remains uncertain, posing significant implications for regional and global security.
