Was Assad's adviser Luna Shabal's accident planned? who's behind it?
Since the accident involving Luna Shabal, many theories popped up on social media claiming that the crash was planned by someone or an opposite party.
A person on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that Asma Assad, who is being treated for Leukemia, requested the assassination of Luna Shabal. He wrote: "Major Hafez Bashar Assad carries out the instructions of his ill mother, Asma, and orders the killing of Luna Shebl through a (carefully planned traffic accident)."
The person also allegedly claimed that the driver of the 'armored vehicle' that hit Luna's car was the commander Basil Assef Shawkat.
Another theory claims that Luna Shabal was planning to escape the country along with her husband to Russia, however, her plan failed as she was targeted in a car crash allegedly carried out by Iranians.
