US Military Launches Airstrikes on ‘Iran-Aligned Sites’ in Syria, Day After Attack on Command Center
The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region.
The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria.
Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces.
The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region.
Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants.
The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
Israel's airstrikes on Damascus have killed at least 15 people and injured 16 others, many of whom were women and children. The attack targeted residential buildings in the Mazzeh neighborhood and the Qudsaya area, carried out by Israeli warplanes coming from the occupied Golan Heights. This comes as Israel continues its military campaign in Gaza and Lebanon, where the death toll has been rising. These strikes also reflect Israel's ongoing efforts to target military positions linked to Hezbollah and Syrian forces in the region. In this video, we explore the broader context behind the Israeli airstrike, its implications for Syria, and its connection to Israel's regional strategy against resistance movements.

In a bold statement, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to create a 30-kilometer-deep security zone within Syria. The zone is aimed at targeting Kurdish militants, particularly those from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its affiliates, the PYD and YPG.

According to Ynet News and Iran International reports, Tehran has secretly selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran's next leader. The decision reportedly came during a confidential September 26 Assembly of Experts meeting, called due to the 85-year-old leader's alleged illness. Despite initial opposition, 60 assembly members unanimously approved the succession under pressure. Sources suggest power transfer might occur during the elder Khamenei's lifetime to ensure smooth transition.

In a dramatic revelation, Iran reportedly sent a confidential message to the United States prior to the 2024 presidential election, assuring Washington that it had no plans to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. This assurance, delivered in mid-October, was Tehran's response to a stern warning from the U.S., which had made it clear that any attempt on the life of a former American official would be considered “an act of war.”
