Fierce Battle for Aleppo: How Russia, Iran, US are Fueling New Middle East Conflict Centred in Syria
The battle for Aleppo has erupted once again, as foreign-backed terrorist groups clash with Syrian forces in a fight for control of Syria's second-largest city.
With Russia's air power, Iran’s military support, and the U.S. playing a complex role from the sidelines, the conflict is no longer just about Syria—it’s a proxy war shaping the future of the entire Middle East.
As Aleppo becomes the new battleground for global powers, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher.
Watch as we break down how Russia, Iran, and the U.S. are fueling this devastating conflict and what it means for the region’s future.
The US military conducted a successful airstrike in northwest Syria on Thursday, killing Muhammad Salah al-Za’bir, a senior member of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Hurras al-Din group. This strike is part of the ongoing US efforts to weaken terrorist organizations operating in the region. Al-Za’bir's death represents a significant blow to the extremist group's operations in Syria. The operation was carried out by US Central Command and is a part of the broader campaign against terrorism.

Turkish President ErdoÄźan has issued a stark warning to Kurdish militants in Syria, demanding they lay down their arms or face being "buried" in Syrian soil. This comes amidst escalating tensions with the YPG militia, part of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey views as linked to the PKK, a terrorist organization. ErdoÄźan also announced plans to open a consulate in Aleppo and expects increased border traffic as Syrian migrants begin returning. These developments underscore the evolving political landscape in Syria following Bashar al-Assad's departure.
