Vladimir Putin News: Amid the deteriorating situation in Syria and increasing rebel attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held a phone conversation. In this conversation, both leaders reaffirmed their support for maintaining Syria's sovereignty and unity. Both stressed the importance of coordinated efforts with Turkey in the Astana format to resolve the Syrian crisis.

Why is the situation serious in Syria?

Rebels led by the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham carried out large-scale attacks in Syria's Aleppo and Idlib regions last week. In these attacks, the rebels gained control of strategic areas, causing heavy losses and embarrassment to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

400 people have died and many have been injured in the latest conflict.

In response to rebel attacks, Russia carried out air strikes in Syria's Idlib and Hamas regions, where rebels were present in large numbers.

Iran's support and viewpoint

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed commitment to cooperation with Russia. He said that his country is ready to work together with Russia to restore stability in the region and resolve the crisis.

The Iranian President targeted US and Israeli strategies, saying that recent events are part of a "conspiracy by the Zionist regime to disrupt the regional scenario".

He also said that regional unity and cooperation will thwart these plans.

Why is Russia and Iran's cooperation important?

Russia and Iran are the main allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Both countries have been playing an important role in bringing political and military stability to Syria.

The Astana Format, which includes Russia, Iran, and Turkey, is an important diplomatic platform for conflict resolution in Syria.

This cooperation can help the Syrian government deal with rebel groups.

Syrian government's resolve

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad announced to fight the rebels and their supporters.

He said that his government is committed to maintaining the integrity and stability of the region.

The government is intensifying its efforts to counter rebel attacks.

What is the way forward?

Russia and Iran's active support in the Syrian crisis could provide relief to the Assad government, but rebel attacks and international intervention could further complicate the situation.

International cooperation: Comprehensive international cooperation will be required to resolve the crisis.

Local stability: Sustained military and diplomatic efforts are necessary to stop the rebels and stabilize Syrian regions.

Conclusion

As the conflict in Syria escalates, the situation has become highly sensitive. Russia and Iran's cooperation could provide significant support to Bashar al-Assad's government. However, the strength of rebel groups and the influence of international politics remain major challenges to bringing stability to Syria.
