The collapse of Assad in syria is a serious blow to Iran...The fall of President Bashar al-Assad in syria proved to be the biggest loss for Iran. Assad's government, which was a major ally of iran, is now weakened, and its fall has led to the collapse of a major pillar of Iran's influence in the Middle East. Iran's alliance with Assad was very important, as syria provided iran with a major strategic base, from which iran could maintain its presence throughout the region. But Assad's fall is now giving rise to a new challenge. Syria under the new Sunni Muslim leadership can become a major challenge for Iran's Shia leadership, as it may go against Iran's Shia-sectarian policy. This is a huge blow for iran, as its presence in syria was an important strategic base.Trump's returnNot only this, the possibility of Donald Trump's return to America at the end of the year 2024 has indicated even more uncertainty for Iran. Trump, who has always taken a tough stand against iran, can become a big threat to Iran. His approach and policies can be challenging for iran, as Trump's government had earlier imposed economic sanctions against iran and also pulled out of the nuclear deal.However, some experts believe that even if trump adopts tough policies, given Iran's weak position, he can put pressure on iran to move towards a deal. Ryan Crocker, a former US ambassador, said in a New York Times report that iran has always made its strategy for the long term andnow it may take steps to strengthen its position again. But the truth is that 2024 has weakened Iran's power and influence to a great extent.Iran, which was earlier seen as a major power, is now struggling on many fronts. In such a situation, after Trump's return, it may be even more difficult for iran to re-establish its position and regain its dominant role.
