Former Syrian PM Riad Hijab: Iran is running Syria

The former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab who defected from the regime of President Bashar al-Assad earlier this year says Russia – and particularly Iran – are now deciding policy in Syria.

He told HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur in the the Jordanian capital Amman, that President Assad would never voluntarily surrender power even if he were offered safe passage to another country.
