This move of Syrian President - setback for Iran&Hezbollah...

Bashar al-Assad's escape can have a profound impact on the regional strategies of iran and Hezbollah. syria, which is an important ally of iran, can now go into the hands of the rebels and this is also likely to end Iran's control over Syria. If this happens, Iran's strategic position can be weakened. On the other hand, Hezbollah, which used to get its military supplies through syria, has also suffered a major setback. Now it will have to find new ways for its war material and support, and this can also affect its military capability.

Why is Assad's rule being called a dark chapter?

Bashar al-Assad's rule is being called a "dark chapter" because a period of tyranny and barbarism took place in syria under his rule. Assad took power as president in the year 2000 and ruled for 24 years till 2024. Before this, his father Hafez al-Assad ruled syria for 30 years. Millions of people died under Assad's rule and millions were forced to flee their homes.

Assad is accused of resorting to reckless violence to remain in power. He fired bullets on students, used tanks and crossed all limits of cruelty. Assad's family kept the Syrian people away from democracy and killed every leader who demanded democracy.

When the people of syria took to the streets in 2011 to demand democracy, Assad brutally tried to suppress that rebellion. He labeled every protester a terrorist and attacked them with artillery shells, resulting in the beginning of the civil war in Syria. Apart from this, Assad also used chemical weapons against his own citizens, which further highlights the cruelty of his rule.
