Bashar al-Assad became Syria's president in June 2000, effectively inheriting power from his father, Hafez al-Assad, who had ruled the country for nearly 30 years.
During Bashar al-Assad's tenure, a civil war erupted in Syria in 2011. The dictator was saved from defeat by support from Russia and Iran. However, Assad’s allies were forced to scale back their support: Moscow – due to its war in Ukraine and Tehran – due to escalating tensions with Israel.
