Chris Rongey is joined by Jeff McCausland to discuss the overthrow of Syria's Assad regime, analyzing the role of Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia in propping up the regime and their current distractions that have allowed rebel forces to advance. McCausland outlines the power vacuum left in Syria, with three major groups — the Syrian Democratic Forces, HTS, and the Syrian National Army — vying for control. The conversation delves into the potential for instability and future governance in Syria, as well as the broader implications for regional security.
