Iran Press/Europe: According to the international service of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the Kremlin and the Russian Defense Ministry announced in separate statements that Moscow will support the Syrian government in confronting organized attacks by armed groups, until the complete clearing of terrorist-held areas in Aleppo and along Syria's border with Turkey.
The development follows a significant offensive launched by opposition forces against the Syrian legitimate government, marking the most intense fighting in the region since 2020.
The offensive, which began on November 27, has seen opposition factions break through the country's defenses and capture key areas, including strategic locations along the M5 highway. Local sources indicate that these groups have seized control of approximately 550 square kilometers across Aleppo and Idlib provinces during the clashes.
As a result of the fighting, around 10,000 civilians have fled their homes seeking refuge in rural Idlib. The Syrian military has announced to repel some advances but acknowledges that insurgents have infiltrated several neighborhoods within Aleppo city for the first time in years.
