He affirmed, \u201cWe will assess the actions and behaviors of Syria&#8217;s new leadership and remain vigilant toward the risks posed by terrorist organizations and extremist groups in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Message to Regional Powers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his speech, Biden highlighted the failures of both Russia and Iran to preserve Assad&#8217;s grip on power. \u201cNeither Moscow nor Tehran was able to shield Assad from the consequences of his actions,\u201d he said, emphasizing that U.S. strategy has significantly weakened both nations&#8217; influence in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added, \u201cThe United States will continue to secure northeastern Syria and ensure that ISIS does not resurge in any form, reaffirming America\u2019s vigilance against terrorist groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president concluded by emphasizing the importance of collaboration with regional partners to navigate Syria&#8217;s transitional phase. \u201cWe will work closely with regional leaders to support a sustainable and inclusive path forward,\u201d Biden noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Implications for Syria and the Region<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s remarks set the tone for a cautious but engaged U.S. approach to Syria\u2019s unfolding political transformation. As the international community grapples with the aftermath of Assad\u2019s downfall, Biden\u2019s administration has signaled its intent to prioritize stability, human rights, and counter-terrorism in its dealings with Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Kardo Roj<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAMASCUS, SYRIA (North Press) \u2013 U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a televised address on Sunday, emphasizing Washington\u2019s commitment to monitoring Syria&#8217;s new leadership following the dramatic fall of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime. \u201cAt long last, the Assad regime has fallen,\u201d Biden declared at the beginning of his speech from the White House.
