Bashar Assad rises to Syrian presidency after father's death

Bashar Assad steps into leadership at 34 as Syria faces regional peace talks and domestic economic strain. Analysts say he will rely on the defense and political establishments to establish legitimacy while Parliament moves to lower the presidential age from 40 to 34. The transition, seen as unprecedented in the Arab world, tests public support and the new ruler's capacity to navigate legacy, security, and governance.
