VIDEO| Syrian Rebels Claim Full Control of Homs, Calls the Takeover 'Historic' as Assad Flees
Syrian rebels have seized full control of Homs, the country's third-largest city and a critical strategic hub, after a swift offensive that left government forces retreating.
The fall of Homs marks a significant victory for the insurgents, severing key supply routes between Damascus and Assad's coastal strongholds.
Rebels have now entered the capital's suburbs, declaring Damascus "militarily fallen" as reports of gunfire and chaos emerge from the city.
President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled to an unknown destination, further signaling the regime's crumbling hold on power.
This dramatic escalation could mark a turning point in Syria’s 13-year conflict.

Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady.

In a dramatic escalation, Israel has launched a wave of devastating airstrikes on six Iranian airfields across western, central, and eastern Iran. The targeted strikes obliterated runways, underground hangars, refueling aircraft, and destroyed multiple Iranian warplanes — including F-14s, F-5s, and AH-1 attack helicopters. These aircraft were meant to intercept Israeli jets — but never left the ground.

In a stunning foreign policy pivot, Donald Trump lifts decades-old U.S. sanctions on Syria following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Backing the new regime under Ahmed al-Sharaa—an ex-Al-Nusra figure—Trump promises economic revival, regional stability, and a “fresh start” in U.S.-Syria ties. Over 500 sanctions are lifted as the White House redefines strategy in the Middle East. Critics warn of legitimizing a controversial figure. Will this gamble reshape Syria—or haunt U.S. foreign policy?

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.
