Syria War: Assad Gets Support, Iran-Backed Militias Enter Battlefield | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The Syrian conflict takes a new turn as Iranian-backed militias from Iraq join the fight to support Bashar Assad’s forces. Their arrival comes amid insurgent advances led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Aleppo, Idlib, and Hama provinces. Syrian and Russian airstrikes continue to target rebel-held areas, killing at least 25 people, according to the White Helmets. Russia has reaffirmed its support for Assad, while Iran’s foreign minister pledged allegiance to the embattled Syrian leader. As regional players deepen their involvement, the conflict’s humanitarian toll grows.
