Syria’s transition after al-Assad’s fall mirrors Iraq’s post-Hussein era, highlighting differences in handling armed factions, militias, and international pressures.

The collapse of Assad's regime has exposed Syria's vast destruction, with rebuilding costs up to $400 billion, requiring international support and a "Marshall Plan."

The new Syrian administration swiftly suppressed sectarian unrest, attributing it to Iranian influence and remnants of al-Assad's regime.

The U.S. has extended sanctions on Syria until 2029 despite fall of Assad's regime, worsening its economic crisis and hindering reconstruction efforts.

The fall of the Syrian regime shifts regional dynamics, with Turkiye gaining influence and Iran losing strategic leverage, leaving future Turkish-Iranian relations uncertain.
