VIDEO | Rebels Deface Hafez al-Assad’s Statue, Remove Bashar’s Portrait As Damascus Falls
Dramatic footage has surfaced showing Syrian rebels toppling a statue of Hafez al-Assad, former president and father of Bashar al-Assad, in Damascus’ Al Arnous Square.
The video also captures individuals removing and striking down a portrait of Bashar al-Assad amid celebrations marking the capital’s fall to opposition forces.
The rebels, led by Islamist factions, declared Damascus "liberated" after their lightning offensive forced Bashar al-Assad to flee.
This marks the end of over five decades of Baath rule, with calls for citizens abroad to return to a "free Syria." Tensions continue to escalate as the regime’s collapse reshapes the nation’s political future.

Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

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?

Syria’s former Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa has agreed—under a secret deal—to drop Damascus’s longstanding claim to the Golan Heights in exchange for undisclosed political and security guarantees from Israel. If confirmed, the move would mark a historic shift in Middle East geopolitics, potentially opening the door to broader normalization between the two countries.

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis.
He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye.

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.

Tripoli was plunged into violent unrest after reports surfaced of the assassination of Abdelghani al-Kikli, the influential head of the UN-backed Stability Support Apparatus (SSA). Armed clashes erupted across key neighborhoods, including Abu Salim and Mashrou, with heavy gunfire and explosions shaking the capital overnight. Panic spread rapidly as rival militias—reportedly the 111th and 444th brigades—stormed the SSA headquarters following failed negotiations. Social media footage shows bodies on the streets and burning vehicles, while hospitals brace for a surge in casualties.
