Former Syrian Vice President Abdul Halim Khaddam confirmed in an exclusive interview with “Al-Sharq Al-Jadid” website that Bashar al-Assad will inevitably fall. He pointed out that Assad’s return to Damascus is a certainty, and no tyrant can remain in power indefinitely. He warned of the failure of the revolution in Syria, as in case of failure, Iran, which has ambitions in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Bahrain, and possesses sleeper cells in many countries of the Arab Maghreb, will take control of the region.

He added that “the international community has not taken a decisive stance on the conflict in Syria for reasons some of us know, and these reasons are attributed to its position on the Arab-Israeli conflict, as if there are those who want to weaken Syria so that it does not rise again within fifty years.”

Khaddam also emphasized that “when Hezbollah crosses Syrian borders and commits hostile acts against the revolution and against the Syrians, it becomes natural for the Free Syrian Army to take measures to stop such aggression.”

He explained that the problem is that “Hezbollah acts beyond its size and tries to involve Lebanon in a new problem. This is fundamentally linked not only to Hezbollah’s leadership in Lebanon but also to Iran, which uses Hezbollah as a tool in the Syrian conflict or to dominate Lebanon.”
