  • The rebels have made stunning gains against President Bashar al-Assad's forces, with Russia, Iran and Hezbollah distracted by other conflicts.

The article from MSN discusses how Syrian rebels have regrouped and taken advantage of the weakened state of the Syrian government's key allies, particularly Russia and Iran. Amidst the ongoing conflict, the Syrian government has faced significant challenges due to Russia's focus on its war in Ukraine, which has stretched its military resources thin, and Iran's internal economic and political issues. This has led to a decrease in support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, allowing various rebel groups, including those backed by Turkey and some local factions, to regain ground and launch attacks. The article highlights that these rebels have exploited the power vacuum and the distraction of Assad's allies to strengthen their positions, especially in areas like Idlib and parts of northern Syria. The situation underscores the complex dynamics of the Syrian civil war, where international and regional politics play a significant role in the ebb and flow of territorial control.
