After the failed Geneva talks, changes have been abound in the Syrian equation. Saudi Arabia sidelined Prince Bandar bin Sultan with Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef to carry out the Syrian policy. Prince Nayef is known for his close ties with the US. Is that a sign that Saudi Arabia has realized that their terrorist support has spiraled out of control?
Is everything under the US control now?
In this edition of the debate , we\'ll also discuss the significance of Syria\'s FSA chief being sacked, Jordan\'s role, whom Syria accused of stirring the revolt in the South, and a surprise comment by Russia\'s Fm Lavrov, who said U.S. officials privately admit: terrorism, not Assad, is the main threat to Syria.

Russia says the aim of the Geneva Two conference is NOT seeking regime change in Syria.
According to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the main objective of the conference is in fact to launch an inter-Syrian dialog. He added that the issue of the ouster of the Syrian government is not part of the original US-Russian initiative. Lavrov also lashed out at the UN decision to withdraw Iran\'s invitation to Syria talks as a mistake. He made it clear that the decision however will not affect Iran\'s efforts in fighting terrorism. The Russian foreign minister said the future of Syria must be determined by both the government and the opposition.

Iran\'s President Hassan Rouhani says Tehran wants to enrich uranium on its soil within the framework of the recent nuclear deal with the P-five-plus-one countries. He says Iran is committed to its peaceful nuclear program.
During a meeting with visiting Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, President Rouhani also said the Geneva agreement recognizes all Iran\'s rights including the right to enrich uranium. He added efforts by some countries to interpret the agreeement in other ways would damage efforts aimed at building mutual trust.
