☆ With Assad’s Fall, Iran’s ‘Axis of Resistance’ Unravels

But in a breathtakingly short time, it has largely unraveled. Syrian rebel groups ousted the country’s longtime dictator, Bashar al-Assad, in less than two weeks as government forces put up little resistance. The Lebanese militant and political group Hezbollah and the Palestinian faction Hamas in Gaza are both weakened by more than a year of warfare with Israel. Still intact are the Iran-linked Iraqi militias and the Houthis in Yemen, but they are more peripheral to the conflict with Israel. So, if Iran were intent on rebuilding its regional alliance, it would likely take years to return to its former strength.

Havana, Cuba CNN —For more than 60 years Cuba has buckled under US economic sanctions and its own government’s missteps. The son of Cuban exiles, Rubio has long made it his mission to ramp up the US trade embargo on Cuba. If confirmed, Secretary of State Rubio will face far more pressing issues like Russia’s war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and countering growing Chinese influence in the world, particularly in Latin America. As secretary of state, Rubio could run point on devising additional economic sanctions on Cuba, increasing funding for dissidents and pro-democracy programs that Havana considers tantamount to regime change, and further restricting US travel to Cuba. During the first Trump administration, “Rubio called the shots on Cuba,” a US diplomat who did want to be quoted by name told CNN.

Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad did not seize an opportunity to reconcile his relationship with the Syrian people during a period when the country’s civil war had quietened, according to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. “We didn’t see any serious movement on the return of the refugees or reconciling with his people,” Al Thani said. Rebel forces in Syria are currently advancing quickly to capture cities previously controlled by Assad in both the north and south of the country. “Our worries (are) that this will bring us back to the old cycles of internal violence and civil war, which would threaten the territorial integrity of the state of Syria,” he said. “Honestly it’s going to damage and destroy what’s left if there’s no sense of urgency to start putting a political framework to what’s happening over there.”

Syrian rebels claimed to have seized a key southwestern city close to the border with Jordan as on Saturday they pressed on with a lightning-fast offensive that threatens to further destabilize a region already convulsed by war. "Once they get Homs, then really Damascus is cut off and they'll all be centered around Damascus and Latakia on the coast." But Hellyer said there was not yet a definitive outcome to the conflict despite the rebels' rapid advance. The collapse of government control in Daraa and the threat to Homs signals a growing vulnerability in Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s hold on power. The observatory says more than 820 people, including 111 civilians, have been killed across the country since the rebels began their offensive.

The aides were concerned Gabbard might leak the name of the defector, who had hidden his identity out of fear of reprisals from the Assad regime. In the past, Caesar had spoken privately to members of Congress without his face covered when Gabbard was not present. The Assad regime brutally crushed peaceful political protests in 2011, firing on unarmed demonstrators and carrying out mass arrests and torture. As the war intensified, Gabbard’s sympathetic statements about the Russian-backed Assad regime raised eyebrows and alarmed her colleagues. “She basically completely adopted the Assad regime propaganda, where she suggested falsely that the U.S. was supporting terrorist extremists in Syria, and didn’t mention that the Assad regime had been slaughtering fellow Syrians there,” the former official said.
