With Russian and Iranian help, Assad has reclaimed control of most of the country from an array of rebel factions, some that were backed by foreign governments, and jihadist militants.

The Assyrians were what is now Iraq minus Al-Anbar province which is the western half of the country. Thats where the Syrian like arabs live.
An Assyrian could be an Iranian too.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes (reigned 187-164 BCE) is famous for trying to impose the Greeks’ pagan religion on the Jews in Judaea, thus provoking them into rebellion. This led eventually to the setting up of an independent Jewish state centred on Jerusalem. This state would have an ambiguous relationship with the rest of the Hellenistic world; its ruling class was deeply influenced by Greek thought and culture, but strict Jews, who were numerous and influential, abhorred the pagan beliefs and practices of the Greeks.
Antiochus died on a campaign against the Parthians, who were raiding his eastern territories. This was a failure, and from the 140s the Parthians started expanding rapidly. They had soon conquered all the eastern satrapies of the Seleucid empire and in 141 BCE the eastern capital of Seleucia fell to them. Succeeding Seleucid kings attempted to restore their power in the East, but all failed: Demetrius II was taken captive by the Parthians (139) and Antiochus VII was killed in an ambush (129). '''
So ended all Seleucid ambitions in that region; the Seleucid kingdom was henceforth confined to Syria,
with Antioch as its single capital.

Over here most people seem to prefer die than do hard labor, but over there maybe its still different?
Or maybe he considers slaves more useful than dead people.
