Syria being Iran's only ally among states in the Middle East had increasingly become a fiction, given how corrupt and hollowed out the Assad regime had become. Still, Iran benefitted from the geographic access [to Lebanon and to pressure Israel). So Assad's fall would be a devastating loss for Iran.
As the session at the National Assembly wraps up, expect secularism to be the hot topic in 2025. Premier François Legault says he's considering banning people from praying in public spaces, including parks and the streets. He believes people should only pray in places of worship.
