Where next for Iran its 'Axis of Resistance' is shattered
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iranian embassy in Damascus are torn pictures, too also of former leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli air strike in Beirut in September. Outside, the ornate turquoise tiles on embassy's façade are intact, also defaced is a giant image of Iran's vastly influential former military Revolutionary Guards commander Qasem Soleimani - killed on the orders of Donald Trump during his first presidency.

- It is a further reminder of the series of blows Iran has faced, culminating on Sunday in the fall of a key ally, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. So, as the Islamic Republic licks wounds, & prepares for a new Donald Trump presidency, will it decide on a more hardline approach - or will it renew negotiations with West? & just how stable is the regime?.
