International recognition and normalisation with the new Syrian government
The recognition trajectory is the most visible diplomatic axis of the post-Assad era. Arab capitals moved first (Saudi investment deals, Arab League re-engagement, Egypt-Turkey rapprochement on Syria). Western capitals followed with calibrated easing of sanctions and high-level visits. Russia negotiated base continuity. Ukraine made a symbolic security-talks visit. Israeli right and Iranian state media both frame the engagement as legitimising a designated terrorist organisation.
