Leaked documents have revealed that Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, allegedly served as an agent for both the U.S. National Security Council (NSC) and the UK’s MI5. The documents, marked as 'Top Secret,' suggest that both Asma and Bashar al-Assad were under close surveillance by Syrian intelligence. Reports indicate that Asma al-Assad had ties to British intelligence even before her marriage to Bashar al-Assad, which may have influenced Syria's political and military landscape. The revelations were disseminated by various sources, including a Syrian journalist who leaked the documents.
