Syria ceasefire collapse
Renewed clashes erupt in northeast Syria as a fragile ceasefire collapses. This after negotiations between Kurdish-led forces and the HTS-led regime completely broke down. Intense clashes continue between the Syrian Democratic Forces and al-Joulani’s militants in key towns. Daesh fighters have broken out of several prisons. Damascus claims the SDF released the prisoners before withdrawing without any coordination. Meanwhile, al-Joulani’s militants have entered the al-Hol camp for displaced families of Daesh militants. The SDF blames the international community for inaction which has forced their withdrawal from the camp and redeployment in northern Syria. The collapsed truce and the security breakdown are forcing thousands of families to flee, raising fears of a major displacement crisis and creating dangerous uncertainty after the Daesh militants' prison breakout.
Iran warns US
The spokesman of Iranian Armed Forces has warned the United States that any threat directed at the Leader of the Islamic Revolution would meet an overwhelming response.

He warned if one single part of Iran is attacked, the country will take action to severely punish the aggressor as it was proved during the June war. Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament's National Security Commission has warned that any attack on the Leader of the Islamic Revolution would amount to a declaration of war against the entire Muslim world. The commission says that such a move would trigger a call for jihad or uprising by Muslim scholars across the globe.
