Assad Overthrown; Biden Says Russia and Iran Failed to Defend Him
Dec 8, 2024, 06:48 PM
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown by rebel forces after 13 years of civil war and over half a century of authoritarian rule by him and his father. President Joe Biden announced the fall of the Assad regime, calling it 'a moment of historic opportunity' but also 'a moment of risk and uncertainty' for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future. Assad and his family have reportedly fled to Moscow, where they have been granted asylum by Russian authorities. Biden stated that Russia and Iran failed to defend the Syrian regime and pledged that the United States would provide humanitarian aid to Syria and support its neighbors during the period of transition. He emphasized that Assad must be held accountable for his actions, including the case of missing American journalist Austin Tice. Biden noted that the U.S. remains committed to fighting ISIS in Syria and that sanctions against Iran and Assad will continue.
