Iranian newspaper forecasts: Assad regime to crumble from Russia’s decline

The Syrian Scenario of Russia: Impact on Iran, Russia, and Syria

The report by Aftab News sheds light on the accelerating events in Syria and their repercussions on Putin, Assad, and Tehran. It suggests that Iran’s support for Assad may be impacted, leading to Russia’s potential defeat in the Ukraine war.

The Ukrainian army’s recent advance into Russian territory poses pressure on Putin, while Assad grapples with a dire economic situation. Amidst the decade-long conflict in Syria, poverty has worsened, exacerbated by external factors like the Lebanese financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Geopolitical Defeat and Economic Crisis

Russia’s potential defeat in Ukraine could lead to a loss of influence in the South Caucasus, affecting Iran. The severe economic crisis in Syria, with rampant inflation and declining purchasing power, may spark popular revolts.

The report emphasizes the deep suffering in Syrian society and the divisions created by years of war. With challenges mounting, Syria relies heavily on support from Iran and Russia to survive.

The complex social situation in Syria demands effective solutions to prevent widespread discontent and potential rebellion as the country teeters on the brink of collapse.
