🇮🇷 Ayatollah Khamenei on some of the reasons for what is happening in Syria:
▪️Israel and the USA are behind the collapse of the Syrian state. A neighboring state of Syria (Turkey) also plays a role in it, but the main plotters are the US and the Zionist regime.
▪️Iran warned the Syrian military months before the militant offensive that the militants were preparing to attack. Iran has no data on the extent to which this information was heeded by the country's leadership.
▪️The occupied areas of Syria will be liberated by the zealous Syrian youth; have no doubt that this will happen, and America will be expelled from the region by the Resistance Front.
▪️The history of Syria's collapse shows that agreements with enemies should not be trusted.
▪️We were ready in these difficult circumstances. Military commanders came to me and said that we had prepared all the facilities that the Syrians needed today, and we were ready to go. The skies were closed, the earth was closed, the Zionist regime and the United States closed both the skies over Syria and the land routes, it was not possible.
▪️The army has to defend its country. If it does not, the state will collapse.
▪️Hezbollah has been strong and will become stronger.

🇮🇱 Israeli Army Incursion in Southwestern Syria; 25 km from the Damascus-Beirut Road!
▪️On the third day of Israeli ground operation in Syria, Israeli forces captured Jabatha al-Khashab and al-Hurriya in Quneitra province, along with the villages of Arna, Baqasem, al-Rima, al-Haina, Qala Jandal, and al-Husayniyyah in Damascus province. These areas lie on the Syrian-Lebanese border strip and are approximately 25 km from the Syrian capital, Damascus.
▫️ These advances suggest Israel's intention to establish a buffer zone on the Syrian-Lebanese border, aiming to cut off Syria's supply route to Lebanon and facilitate a ground attack on eastern Lebanon.
▫️ Currently, the Israeli army has the areas of Qatna and Yafour ahead of them to continue their advance, and then the road leading to the Al-Masna' border crossing.
▫️ The Qatna area, strategically located on the hills overlooking Lebanon, also connects to Yafour and the border road, making it the likely next target for Israel.

Syria is rapidly losing its territory.
Israel continued its occupation of Syria. On the evening of 9 December it openly declared the total annexation of the Golan Heights.
On the night of 10 December, Israeli tanks bypassed Quneitra and moved towards Damascus, while the Israeli air force launched massive attacks across Syria. A research institute in Damascus was destroyed. A Syrian naval base in Latakia was hit with impunity.
Iran's Foreign Ministry called on the UN Security Council to take immediate action to prevent the Israeli army from further occupation of Syria.
By 6:00 local time, Israeli army units are located about 20 kilometres from Damascus.
🇸🇾/🇹🇷 Manbij has been occupied by Turkish-backed militants
🔹 Four days ago, the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) launched an operation to seize the city of Manbij and its surrounding areas. The latest reports indicate that Turkish militants have taken control of Manbij and its surroundings.
▪️Turkish army drones played a crucial role in supporting the SNA militants, conducting numerous attacks on Manbij and its outskirts. Notably, the Qarah Qawzaq Bridge in eastern Manbij was targeted to prevent the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from sending reinforcements to the city. These attacks effectively blocked the SDF's supply route, leaving their forces in Manbij unable to sustain a long-term defense against the SNA.
▪️Currently, sporadic clashes continue in some areas of Manbij between remaining SDF elements and SNA militants. However, the fate of Manbij has been sealed, as Kurdish media, citing Syrian Kurdistan authorities, have confirmed the defeat in Manbij.

Muhammad al-Bashir has been assigned the task of forming a new Syrian cabinet.
🔹 A meeting took place hours ago with Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Muhammad Ghazi al-Jalali, the Prime Minister of Syria, and Muhammad al-Bashir to discuss the transition of power in Syria.
🔹 Following this meeting, Muhammad al-Bashir was given the responsibility of forming a new Syrian cabinet to oversee the transitional phase.

🔰 Latest Situation on the Quneitra Front:
▪️On the first day of Israeli ground operation on Syrian soil, the Israeli army positioned its forces at a Syrian army border post in the Hadar area and the strategic heights of Hermon (Jabal al-Sheikh). They also deployed tanks in the uninhabited city of Quneitra, the town of al-Baath, Hamidiyah, and al-Rawidi. These tanks have advanced to the outskirts of Khan Arnabah but have yet to seize control of the city.
▪️With the Israeli army's warning for southern Syria residents to evacuate immediately, it is anticipated that the areas of Ufaniyah, Hamidiyah, Samdaniyah al-Gharbiyah, and al-Qahtaniyah will likely come under Zionist control in the coming hours.
▪️In conjunction with these operations, Israeli fighter jets have conducted over 100 airstrikes targeting Syrian army military installations and weapons depots.

Latest Military Map Of Syria
With the fall of Homs and subsequently Damascus on December 8, the Syrian government were overthrown by Tahrir al-Sham and other terrorist groups.
▪️Today, forces affiliated with Tahrir al-Sham entered the coastal cities of Latakia, Jablah, Banias, and Tartus, and practically, the coastal areas, which were previously regarded as government strongholds, have also fallen. The Russian military base in Hmeimim remains under Russian control. It seems unlikely that Tahrir al-Sham will attack this base.
▪️In southern Syria, the Israeli army has taken advantage of the chaos and entered Syrian territory, occupying areas such as Quneitra, the vicinity of Khan Arnabeh, and the strategic heights of Mount Hermon. Israel's advance into Syrian territory is likely to continue.
▪️In eastern Syria, the areas of Deir Ezzor, Mayadeen, and Abu Kamal are still controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces. The United States has reportedly warned militants to avoid these areas.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israeli Army Withdraws from Khiam
▫️ A convoy of Israeli bulldozers and cranes, which have been demolishing the northern and central areas of Khiam in recent days, has left the Wadi Khiam and moved towards Al-Umra and Mazraa Sarda, near the occupied Palestinian borders.
▫️ The Lebanese army is expected to soon take over its checkpoints in southern Khiam and Ain Arab, establishing its presence in these areas.
📝 The withdrawal of Israeli forces and machinery from Khiam might signal the start of their retreat from southern Lebanon. The Israeli army has limited time to comply with the ceasefire agreement in southern Lebanon and must fully withdraw by Jan 26.
Additionally, the ground offensive in southern Syria has demanded substantial Israeli force allocation, necessitating preparations for the next stages. Therefore, the withdrawal from Khiam could mark the beginning of a broader withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

▪️In northern Syria, Turkish-backed militants persist in their assaults on Manbij. According to recent reports, the Al-Arima district has fallen, and clashes are now taking place in Manbij and its surrounding areas. Turkish drones are actively supporting the militants' operations in the Manbij region.
Sadly, dark days lie ahead for the Syrian people. I hope I'm wrong, but with the presence of various terrorist groups with different ideologies in #Syria, the #US occupation and exploitation in the east, and #Israel in the south, the reality on the ground suggests otherwise.

They didn't waste five minutes, literally. What a marvelous opportunity all this has been for them.
And they even got some Arabs and Muslims to drink the Kool aid and clap for them as they do it. What an embarrassment.
