Summary
Rebels in Syria, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), have launched their first major offensive on Aleppo since 2016, threatening a potential shift in the 13-year civil war.
The attack targets a city historically vital to Syria’s economy, previously reclaimed by President Assad with Russian support.
This resurgence could destabilize the region, involving players like Russia, Turkey, and Iran, while creating openings for ISIS.
HTS, previously linked to al-Qaida, has sought legitimacy but remains controversial. The fighting raises concerns of regional escalation amid other Middle Eastern conflicts.
While Russia and Iran occupy the other portion. Don’t leave them out of the party
Russia only occupies the small region of its naval base. Iran does not really occupy any part, although they do seem to have great influence on the government.
You mean the legitimate government of Syria and the militaries they invited to help them fight ISIS, Al Nusra, and other US proxies?
Iran’s General Solomeni was viewed across the middle east the way Americans view General Patton for coordinating an effective opposition to ISIS while the US continued to arm them via “Free Syrian Army” factions that either joined or immediately handed their equipment to ISIS and bomb people on both sides.
Yup, those are the “legitimate” war criminals
They are certainly more legitimate than the war criminals who are also stealing the oil and food, causing further immiseration and famine.
