Biden faces backlash over claims of role in Assad's downfall as fears grow over ISIS resurgence

President Biden faced criticism after suggesting his administration's policies contributed to the downfall of Syria's Bashar Assad. This claim has sparked debate about the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy in the region, particularly regarding Iran and Hezbollah. The recent collapse of Assad's regime has raised concerns about a potential resurgence of the Islamic State. U.S. Central Command has responded by launching strikes against ISIS to prevent the group from exploiting the situation in Syria. Critics argue that the Biden administration's approach has been too cautious, potentially allowing ISIS to regain strength. The ongoing conflict has left many in Syria vulnerable, with fears that the chaos could benefit extremist groups.
