#060 - Firas Modad - How a Terrorist Became Syria’s President

Firas Modad is a geopolitical analyst and Middle East expert,
specialising in regional conflicts, sectarian divisions, and
global power struggles.


In this interview, we explore the global power struggle over the
Middle East, Syria’s ongoing turmoil, and the impact of US,
Russian, and Iranian influence in the region. Modad explains why
Syria remains a battleground, how sectarian divides shape
conflict, and why attempts to build stable nation-states keep
failing. We also discuss the legacy of Western intervention, the
rise of jihadism, and whether Syria’s future is one of endless
war or possible reconciliation.
