Somehow yes, but considering how inexistent the SAA is, it won't make any difference for Assad.
Just Turkey taking the opportunity to do some ethnic cleansing against the Kurds.
Assad is done, his regime is over.

Things are collapsing faster than expected for Assad. There is no doubt that the Pasha wants the Kurds to cease existing. But I'm not sure his alphabet soup Islamists will be able to kill them all without actual Turkish forces.

No, it’s a BS and the Jordanians got p1ssed off about it:
Iran evacuating military in Syria as rebels advance: Report
The Iranian government is closely allied with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Oh they will, they totally will.
With or without the help of Turkey, though Turkey will take part, there will be serious clashes against the Kurds.
Once Assad is made a thing of the past, these factions once united under a arguably common cause will splinter and turn against one another.

The opposition reportedly reached the southern border of the Damascus region. I suppose they will have reached the city by Sunday or so.
And talks are also reportedly taking place between Russia, Turkey and Iran, which kind of confirms the suspicions I had as in: the entire thing was decided from the start. Syria was to be taken over, eventually partitioned and Assad had basically no say in it.
Russia didn't get involved (or at very low level), Iran didn't get involved, Turkey didn't get involved directly and none of Syria's regional allies lifted a finger to help them out. The US also got involved to support their Kurdish allies.
The Syrian army didn't fight, abandoning their posts and eventually stroke deals with the opposition (notably the Kurds at Deir ez Zor), and the opposition simply steam-rolled its way through.

But seems the Jordan Embassy in WDC is denying it.
Jordanian Embassy in Washington D.C. says no Jordanian officials advised Assad to leave Syria
AMMAN — Jordanian Embassy in Washington D.C.
Are they denying because the story is false, because they are not aware of such deal, or to cover their own ass. Who knows.
All three could hold water to some extent, though I don't see how Assad could claim a "government in exile" considering everybody has both abandoned him and showed they were unwilling to help him in any way.
So, what would his "government in exile" be to begin with? Syrian Ultranationalists? Should have started with fighting a little bit harder, hum? Or rather, start fighting at all.

The Jordanians strongly denied it and I posted their statement yesterday.
It looks like you put me on your ignore list when I was arguing with you in the war in Ukraine topic.

I love this logic. RuZZia has the only ally on the Mediterranean coast and a byatch who indiscriminately supported her during UN voting and helped project her power in the Mediterranean. Once al-Asshat is gone, RuZZia will struggle with supporting LNA in Libya.
Once the logistics are cut off, Iran's influence will diminish in Lebanon and Hezzies will be in troubles.
If you really believe Iran and RuZZia would agree it happen, you are out of touch with reality.
Both RuZZia and Hezzies are very busy, so they cannot project power in too many theatres.
Turkey and RuZZia exploit other countries' temporary weaknesses and they have been doing it for centuries.
Likewise, after seeing the fvck-up in Afghanistan and assessing the U.S. president as mentally-handicapped, RuZZia's concluded it was the best moment to attack Ukraine.
A long story short: RuZZia does not make agreements with anybody to diminish its influence in a strategic region. Contrary to what you believe, RuZZia is not strong enough to support al-Asshat and fight the war in Ukraine at the same time.

Reportedly, "local rebels", not HTS, are at Damascus International Airport.
Linked up with FSA.
I was expecting it to be over by Sunday night, but looks like that's going to be over much sooner.
