What factors contributed to the fall of the Assad regime? How did the opposition achieve this success in just two days? What role did Russia and Iran play in supporting the regime? Why did Russia decide to withdraw from supporting the Assad regime during Operation Deterrence of Aggression? In this episode of the Asharq Podcast, international relations researcher Firas Faham discusses the major transformations that Syria has witnessed in light of the political and military events that accompanied the revolution against the Assad regime leading up to Operation Deterrence of Aggression. He also talks about the decline in the positions of regime supporters, the weakness of Russian support, and the presence of young people in the ranks of the opposition, all of which were factors that helped topple Assad. What is the Russian and Iranian position on the current events, and how did all the balances change to result in Assad’s escape, the fall of his regime, and the victory of the opposition, which was able to liberate many Syrian cities within a few days of the beginning of the confrontation. The podcast is presented by journalist and researcher Abdulrahman Nasser. Watch previous episodes: Syria.. From Revolution to Deterrence of Aggression Asharq Podcast • Syria..
