Assad's whereabouts unclear as reports of resignation and departure circulate

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's whereabouts are unclear following reports of his resignation and departure from Syria. Syrian rebels took control of Damascus, declaring the end of Assad's rule after over 50 years. Russian sources claim Assad has resigned and left the country, while Syrian state TV denies he fled, stating he remains in Damascus. Reports suggest he may have left on an Ilyushin aircraft, which disappeared shortly after takeoff. Various reports indicate Assad may be in Russia, with some suggesting he could relocate to Tehran. However, no independent verification of his location has been confirmed.
