Part 6/7:
As the opposition consolidates their grip on newly acquired territories, they have managed to capture critical infrastructure: airports, main roads, government buildings, and military checkpoints. The anti-regime groups have secured vital ammunition stockpiles and military equipment left behind by retreating forces, further strengthening their position.
In response, government leader Bashar al-Assad has vowed to employ force as a means of retaking control, while Iran has pledged unwavering support. Meanwhile, Russia has seen a leadership shift, dismissing the general responsible for operations in Syria amid ongoing shelling of opposition areas, all while pursuing discussions with other nations to garner support for the regime’s efforts.
