— 🇺🇸/🇸🇾 NEW: The President of Syria, Ahmad Al-Sharaa (Al-Jolani), had a double date with the Commander of U.S. CENTCOM, Admiral Charles Bradley Cooper

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇸🇾/🇷🇺 BREAKING: Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa reveals that Russia and HTS had made a secret agreement during the battle of Hama in December 2024

According to Al-Sharaa, Russia did not have 'any particular attachment' to President Bashar Al-Assad, and reached out to HTS for cooperation during the fall of Hama, concluding that all hope for Assad was lost.

From that point onwards, Russia withdrew from fighting alongside the Syrian Arab Army, and instead stood silently on the side of HTS.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— NOTE: I think that anyone who blames Assad's fall on Russia or Iran is wrong.

It is clear there was some kind of defection, incompetency or lack of determination on the side of the Syrian Arab Army. If they weren't fighting, there's nothing Russia or Iran could have done to change the situation.

Russia is a pragmatic country, they don't care about ideology, they only cared about Assad because he safeguarded their interests in Syria. As long as Jolani was willing to protect Khmeimim and allow Russian interests to be guaranteed, Putin was fine with it.

I'm not saying that being pragmatic and not caring about ideology is a good thing. But that's just how Russia is. Blaming Russia for Assad's fall is simplistic and lacks critical analysis.

🇮🇷| BREAKING: 60 Parliament members have requested an urgent session to be held to review the Iran-IAEA memorandum.

The Parliament is closed for 2 weeks due to holidays, but due to the sensitive nature of the IAEA memorandum case, 60 MPs have requested an extraordinary session to be held to review the provisions of the agreement and hear explanations from Iranian FM, Araghchi and Larijani, current secretary of the SNSC.

The request is awaiting Qalibaf's decision.

@FotrosResistancee

90% sure Qalibaf will just reject this.

But I guess we'll see.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: The Grayzone reports that an unnamed Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk revealed to them that 'President Trump is terrified of Netanyahu and fears defying him'

Over the past year, this insider learned from White House contacts that the Secret Service had intercepted Israeli personnel placing electronic devices on emergency response vehicles twice. This practice has been observed in both the U.S. and the U.K.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: The unnamed source tells The Grayzone that Charlie Kirk was privately frustrated with Israel's influence over the Trump administration, including regarding 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' the U.S. bombing of Iran on Israel's behalf

After hosting Tucker Carlson and other commentators critical of Israel at 'Turning Point USA' in July, Kirk received numerous messages urging him to 'fall back in line.'

In an August interview, Kirk expressed his frustrations, stating, 'I have less ability to criticize the Israeli government than actual Israelis do.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇪🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Contrary to reports circulating in the past few days, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez did NOT say he 'regrets not having nuclear weapons to stop the genocide in Gaza'

His comments were taken out of context and sensationalized.

He stated: 'Spain, as you know, doesn't have nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, or large oil reserves. We alone can't stop the Israeli offensive, but that doesn't mean we won't stop trying. There are causes worth fighting for, even if winning them isn't in our sole power.'
