Turkey and Israel are keen on seizing opportunities in the uncertainty. Hezbollah, busy dealing with its own conflict with Israel, can’t offer much help to the Syrian government. This leaves Iran trying to fill the gap, but it’s a daunting task without Hezbollah's support. The U. S. , meanwhile, is also treading carefully, with an upcoming presidential election that could change everything. Experts worry that this could hand more power to Islamist groups. Every step on this complicated dance floor has serious consequences. Turkey has been taking advantage of the instability to maintain influence, even as it faces its own internal struggles. Israel, on the other hand, sees this as a chance to strike against its enemies while keeping a low profile. Hezbollah’s focus on its conflict with Israel means it can’t fully support the Syrian government, leaving Iran to handle things alone. While Iran is stepping up, they’re missing crucial support from Hezbollah, making their job harder. The U. S. ’s involvement may shift with the upcoming election, which could create more space for Islamist groups to gain strength. Every move matters in this complex situation. A small step can lead to significant gains or losses. The dance continues, with countries trying to stay in rhythm while making strategic moves.
