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.
The Syrian Army has evacuated the city of Hama after jihadist forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, seized control following intense clashes. The insurgents' victory marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict, as Hama had remained under government control throughout the civil war. The jihadist leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, pledged that there would be no revenge on the city's residents, despite the historical context of Hama's prior uprisings. The Syrian Army's retreat aims to preserve civilian lives and avoid further urban combat, but the loss of this key city is a major blow to President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

In a significant counterterrorism operation, the Syrian military, backed by Russian forces, has eliminated approximately 2,000 foreign-backed Takfiri jihadists in northern Syria over the past week. The strikes targeted key terrorist positions, gathering points, and supply routes, dealing a crushing blow to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters.
The campaign saw heavy clashes northwest of Hama, where the Syrian army expanded its security perimeter by 20 kilometers, killing 300 jihadists and destroying 25 drones. Missile strikes in Idlib inflicted further casualties, leaving hospitals overwhelmed with wounded fighters.

In a controversial move, Canada has officially designated Yemen’s Ansarullah (Houthi) movement as a “terrorist entity.” Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc claims the designation is part of Canada’s global fight against terrorism and in alignment with its international allies. However, this decision comes despite Ansarullah's active role in combating extremist groups like Daesh and al-Qaeda in Yemen. The Canadian government also criticized Ansarullah's anti-Israel operations, which have targeted Israeli ships and military supplies. In this video, we break down the implications of this designation, examine Ansarullah’s role in Yemen’s ongoing conflict, and discuss the broader geopolitical ramifications.

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.”
