In this video, we break down President Joe Biden’s recent speech claiming credit for the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. While Biden cites the weakening of Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia under his administration, a closer look reveals a different story. Israel’s military actions, particularly its campaign against Hezbollah and Iran’s positions in Syria, played a pivotal role. But the complexities don’t stop there.
We examine how U.S. sanctions, later relaxed under Biden, may have indirectly strengthened Iran’s proxies, leading to a chain reaction that culminated in the Assad regime’s collapse. Furthermore, we delve into the aftermath: the rise of Abu Muhammad al-Julani and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham—an Al-Qaeda offshoot now in control of Syria.
What does this mean for the region’s future and U.S. foreign policy? Join us as we analyze the events, the players involved, and the broader implications for the Middle East. Who’s really responsible for the regime change, and what are the potential dangers ahead?
