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.
