Iraqi fighters To Join Syrian & Russian Forces Against Turkey Backed Jihadists, Hezbollah Stays Out
Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, have crossed into Syria to join forces with Syrian and Russian military units in a fight against Turkey-backed jihadist rebels.
The deployment comes after the jihadists seized Aleppo, marking a significant blow to the Syrian government's control.
These reinforcements, primarily from Iraq's Badr and Nujabaa groups, are expected to focus on defending key Shiite shrines and supporting Assad’s forces on the frontlines.
However, Lebanon's Hezbollah, a key ally of Syria and Iran, has decided to stay out of this latest conflict.
Despite Hezbollah's earlier role in supporting Syrian forces, particularly in the fight against rebels, it is not ready to commit forces in the current escalation, reportedly due to the strain from its ongoing war with Israel.
The ongoing conflict between pro-Turkey factions and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the Manbij countryside of northern Syria has reached a deadly climax, with 101 casualties reported over the last two days. In fierce clashes that have raged since Friday evening, 85 members of pro-Turkish groups and 16 SDF fighters have been killed. The fighting, which is fueled by Turkish-backed forces targeting SDF militants, has ignited intense geopolitical tensions in Syria. What does this escalation mean for the future of Syria’s north, and how will global powers influence the outcome? Watch this video to find out more about the high-stakes battle for control in one of Syria’s most contested regions.

In a covert operation spanning over a decade, Israel's Mossad meticulously orchestrated one of its most audacious intelligence campaigns against Hezbollah. From crafting explosive walkie-talkies to designing lethal pagers, Mossad created a web of shell companies, fake advertisements, and unsuspecting partnerships to infiltrate Hezbollah's supply chains. By September 2024, the Lebanese militant group unknowingly possessed over 5,000 explosive pagers, resulting in a devastating attack that killed 42 people and injured over 3,500. This shocking revelation highlights the depth of Mossad's deception, the human toll of the attacks, and the international condemnation that followed. Dive into the details of how this deadly plot unfolded.

Turkish President Erdoğan 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.

In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iran’s support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iran’s regional proxies to expand its influence. However, Khamenei dismissed such accusations, stressing that these organizations are motivated by local grievances and ideological commitments, not Iranian directives.
