Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a historical commercial hub, undergoes a significant rebel offensive after years of relative calm, raising fears of renewed conflict and further destabilizing the region. This comes amid a backdrop of ongoing tensions involving Iran, Russia, and regional powers such as Israel and Turkey.
Syria's civil war has killed half a million people and displaced around 6.8 million from the country. Aleppo , a significant commercial hub and one of Syria's largest cities, saw rebel forces make their strongest push since 2016. The Russia n intervention, along with support from Iran ian-backed groups like Hezbollah , has allowed President Assad to maintain control over 70% of Syria.
The renewed conflict could exacerbate tensions in the Middle East, given the ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, both of which are supported by Iran. This resurgence challenges both the U.S. and Israel, who have conducted strikes against Syrian and Hezbollah targets. The U.S. also has approximately 900 troops in northeast Syria, far from Aleppo, to monitor the Islamic State. Meanwhile, Turkey supports various opposition forces in Syria
