Syria’s Interim Govt, SDF Reach Landmark Agreement
- Syria’s interim government announced the end of a military operation against insurgents loyal to ousted president Bashar al-Assad after days of intense fighting. Clashes erupted on after Alawite gunmen attacked a police patrol near Lattakia, spreading violence across Syria’s coastal region.
- The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported 1,130 deaths, mostly civilians, though the figures remain unverified. Interim President Ahmad Al-Sharaa condemned retaliatory attacks on Alawite civilians, pledging an investigation.
- Thousands fled to Lebanon, where authorities report over 6,000 new arrivals. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed support for Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities. Syria’s interim government reached a landmark agreement with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to integrate the group into state institutions.
- As a result of this agreement, the SDF which controls the oil-rich northeast Syria will now integrate its civilian and military institutions with the state. The deal will implemented by the end of the year. It will bring all border crossings with Iraq and Turkey, airports and oil fields in the northeast under the Syrian government’s control.

Trump Proposes New Iran Nuclear Deal Negotiations
- US President Donald Trump expressed a willingness to renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal, previously abandoned during his first term. This shift comes amid changes in Iran’s political and economic landscape, as well as evolving dynamics in the Middle East.
- Trump’s recent statements suggest a strategic pivot towards diplomacy, as he aims to address nuclear concerns while navigating complex regional relationships. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was established in 2015. It involved Iran and six world powers, including the US, aiming to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
- In exchange, Iran received sanctions relief. The deal restricted uranium enrichment to 3.67%, suitable for peaceful purposes. However, in 2018, Trump withdrew the US, deeming the agreement flawed and one-sided. Trump’s withdrawal was motivated by perceived failures in the JCPOA.
- He argued it did not adequately address Iran’s ballistic missile programme or its regional influence. This decision faced backlash from allies, with the International Atomic Energy Agency confirming Iran’s compliance.
- European nations attempted to uphold the deal, but US sanctions led to decline in Iranian trade. Following the US withdrawal, Iran began rolling back its commitments under the JCPOA. By 2021, Iran announced higher uranium enrichment levels, responding to perceived threats. The Iranian economy faced severe challenges, exacerbated by sanctions and internal unrest, particularly following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022.
- By late 2024, Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged dire economic conditions. This prompted a renewed openness to engage with the US. Diplomatic channels have been explored, with Iran signalling a willingness to negotiate for sanctions relief. Meanwhile, Iran’s influence in the region remains , particularly through its proxy groups.
