Assad's regime collapses as rebel forces capture Damascus, reshaping Syria's future

Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has collapsed after rebel forces captured key cities, including the capital, Damascus. Assad has fled to Russia, marking a significant shift in the Syrian civil war after 13 years of conflict. The fall of Assad is seen as a setback for Iran and Russia, who supported his regime. In contrast, the U.S., Turkey, and Israel are viewed as major beneficiaries, with Turkey emerging as a key player in Syria's future. The situation raises concerns about a potential power vacuum in Syria. Analysts suggest that the new dynamics could lead to increased stability in the region, depending on how leadership transitions unfold.
