Moscow Strikes Risky Pact with Syrian Rebels to Shield Key Military Bases As Assad Remains in Moscow
Moscow has entered high-stakes negotiations with Syrian rebel forces to protect its strategic military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim following the dramatic collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government.
With Assad seeking refuge in Moscow and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebels tightening their grip on Syria, Russian officials are racing to secure agreements ensuring the safety of their bases.
While the rebels have taken control of surrounding provinces, Russian compounds remain operational under temporary guarantees.
This precarious arrangement marks a critical moment for Russia’s military foothold in the region amid the volatile power shift.
Aleppo Airport Attack Breaking: A deadly drone strike near Aleppo International Airport has vaporized a civilian car, killing two people instantly. Syrian state media reported that an unidentified drone targeted the vehicle on the airport road, while AFP correspondents described the car reduced to wreckage with shrapnel scattered widely.
No group or country has claimed responsibility, raising suspicions of Israel or the U.S.-led coalition, both of which have previously carried out strikes in northern Syria targeting ISIS and al-Qaeda leaders. Local witnesses reported the drone fired two missiles directly at the moving car, and emergency teams rushed to extinguish the fire and reopen the road.
This latest unclaimed strike adds to a growing string of mysterious drone attacks escalating tensions in northern Syria, highlighting the region’s ongoing instability and the high risks faced by civilians.

Iran is secretly rearming its regional proxies after the ceasefire with Israel, plotting a “silent revenge” against the U.S. and its allies. Houthi rebels have resumed Red Sea attacks, Hezbollah is regrouping despite major losses, and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are targeting vital oil fields. With Assad’s fall blocking key supply routes, Tehran is racing to rebuild its network of influence. U.S. officials warn Iran could use these proxies as leverage in future nuclear talks, raising fears of a renewed wave of proxy wars across the Middle East.

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border.
At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief.
While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles.
Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region.

#AhmedAlShara,
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.

A shocking viral video from Sweida shows HTS soldiers brutally forcing two Druze men at gunpoint onto a balcony, hurling slurs, and making them climb the railing before firing shots and throwing them off.

Israel’s Minister of Diaspora condemned the regime, comparing it to Hamas. After weeks of bloodshed, the U.S. has brokered a fragile ceasefire, but questions remain—will the atrocities finally stop?

Syria Clash: Intense fighting has reignited in and around Suwayda between Druze militias and Bedouin tribal fighters, despite a declared ceasefire. An estimated 50,000–70,000 fighters from the Arab Tribal Army have mobilized against the Druze, triggering mass displacement, civilian casualties, and widespread destruction — including regime-affiliated groups burning Druze homes in Mazraa village. Bedouin commanders have rejected the ceasefire, and reinforcements from Idlib — a stronghold of HTS — are reportedly joining the assault. Amid this chaos, HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani has fled Damascus.
