President Joe Biden stated that the collapse of the Syrian government under Bashar Assad represents a "fundamental act of justice" after years of repression, though he acknowledged that it brings uncertainty to the Middle East. He highlighted the risks tied to such a significant change but also emphasized the role of U.S. and allied actions in diminishing Assad's power and weakening his support from Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah.
The United States is monitoring reports regarding Assad's whereabouts, particularly that he may be seeking refuge in Moscow. This reflects the fluid situation in Syria following the rebels' recent takeover and poses questions about the future of U.S. involvement in the region and how the new administration will address potential threats stemming from this power shift.
