Let’s hope for a breakthrough of some sort to end this conflict once and for all. Assad has completely mishandled the conflict and many atrocities were committed. At the same time, foreign influence helped to turn this issue into a disaster on the other side. He is not fit to lead and some compromise needs to be achieved with him stepping down.Assad slaughtered too many people for there to be reconciliation with him, its too big of a pill to swallow for some. Its beyond help, and from what I can see the segment of Alawites, Iran backed groups that Assad has the backing of, they refuse to leave him, so we are at a stalemate in terms of doing this diplomatically.
Both sides have elements that they will refuse to compromise on. For Iran, the connection to Lebanon is critical and one they will attempt to preserve at all costs.
