For a post-Assad transition to happen, moderate rebels must recapture momentum on the ground. A U.S. State Department official stressed the need to strengthen those rebels and said the U.S. was not going after Assad for now because the moderate opposition isnt ready yet. But above all detente between the two rival powers in the Middle East - Saudi Arabia and Assads backer Iran, and a bargain between Tehran and Washington, would set the stage for a political deal. If I am Assad, I will be worried. There is a consensus of not wanting to do business with Assad, that this is a losing battle, a Western diplomat said.
