The fall of President Bashar al-Assad's rule in Syria has raised questions about global security and the rise of Islamist militants. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Islamist leader Abu Mohammed Al Jawlani, has taken over multiple cities and is pushing for a transition of power. The sudden collapse of Assad's rule has left many wondering how this happened, considering the support he received from Russia and Iran. The situation in Syria raises concerns about the spread of Islamist militants and the management of non-state militant actors. The fallout of the Syrian crisis could have global implications, including for India's ties with Assad and the threat of ISIS resurgence.
