geo.tv

U.S. President Joe Biden announced that the United States will collaborate with international partners to manage risks in Syria after the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad by a Turkish-backed rebel group. Biden stated the U.S. will support Syria's neighbors during this transition and monitor the actions of the rebel group. He emphasized the need for accountability for Assad's regime. Rebel forces entered Damascus without resistance, ending nearly 60 years of Assad family rule. This change could weaken Iran's influence and affect Russia's naval presence in the Mediterranean. It may also allow millions of refugees to return to Syria.
