Assad Likely to Retake Syria, Avoiding Conflict With Turkey, Israel - Coats
17:08 GMT 29.01.2019 (Updated: 12:31 GMT 06.08.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Syrian President Bashar Assad will likely retake complete control of the Middle Eastern country while avoiding conflict with Turkey or Israel, US Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said on Tuesday.
"President Bashar al-Assad has largely defeated the opposition and is now seeking to regain control over all of the Syrian territory", Coats said during a Senate committee hearing. "The regime will focus on retaking territory while seeking to avoid conflict with Israel and Turkey".
