Syrian President Assad: The U.S. is trying to redraw the region.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad suffered heavy losses in a short time during the operation launched by the opposition against the regime. Assad, who lost critical cities like Aleppo and Idlib, has been effectively cornered in Damascus.

ASSAD BLAMED THE USA

Assad, who has gradually gained the support of Russia and Iran, made a striking statement. In a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Assad commented on the conflicts as an "attempt to redraw the map of the region in line with U.S. interests." Assad stated, "The terrorist escalation reflects broad objectives such as dividing the region, fragmenting the countries within it, and redrawing the map in accordance with the goals of the U.S. and the West."

WHAT HAPPENED?

On November 27, clashes began between Assad regime forces and anti-regime armed groups in the western countryside of Aleppo province in northern Syria. On November 27-28, anti-regime armed groups rapidly advanced from the western countryside of Aleppo towards the center, and from the second day of the clashes, they also captured numerous areas in the rural parts of Idlib. On November 29, armed groups that entered the city center of Aleppo have now taken control of a large part of the center.
