After the fall of Bashar al-Assad , attention has centered on the new dispensation taking shape in Damascus .

Peter Bergen : Analysts have declared geopolitical winners and losers in Syria .

He says Iran and Russia are losers; Turkey and Arab monarchies that supported the Syrian rebels are in the ascendance.

Bergen says Israel feels emboldened after a ruthless bombing campaign on Syrian military targets.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan long called for Assad ’s ouster, and now seems vindicated in his approach.

He has also played a larger role as regional statesman, recently brokering peace deals between Ethiopia and Somalia .

Still, though the regime in Tehran may be weakened, its rivals will have to be careful about pressing their advantage.
