The Financial Times published a report on Wednesday, June 24 on the situation in Syria saying Bashar Assad forces have in the past few months suffered numerous decisive military blows in the country’s central, eastern, northern and southern regions. Four years into the war nothing is left of the army but a worn-out army. This force is in a defensive position and has been strengthened by the Hezbollah and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Damascus is currently under Assad’s control, but it can soon be threatened by opposition military forces in the south bound to take complete control of Deraa.
