I got worried when Assad said he’s willing to negotiate earlier this week. Maybe Iran, which I think is the only country helping him, at this point, pulled back a bit while they got the US president by the gonads on this nuke-deal. Hopefully Assad gets past this - he may not be an angel, but there are still millions of Christians whose lives depend on him.
Thanks for the reply, and I agree entirely. These types that are trying to seize Idlib are the worst of the worst - no Christian would be left with life or property.
IMO, more likely, the Iranians are finding it hard and expensive to maintain two theaters at once.
