Lands of Fire: What the new escalation in the Middle East is related to

The crisis in Syria has once again turned into a "war of all against all"

Earlier in the day, the SAR Defense Ministry reported that the planes of the Syrian Air Force and the Russian Armed Forces carried out joint strikes on terrorist concentrations in Homs province, destroying dozens of militants.

At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at the Doha Forum that it is unacceptable to allow terrorists to seize land in Syria. The foreign minister added that Russia is absolutely convinced that it is unacceptable to use terrorists like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) to achieve geopolitical goals, as is being done now with the organization of an offensive from the Idlib de-escalation zone.

On November 29, the Syrian army launched a counteroffensive against the positions of the terrorist group's militants and liberated the town of al-Bakum during the fighting. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi called the activation of terrorists part of the US plan against the background of Israel's defeat in Lebanon. At the same time, the White House denied its involvement in the events.

In turn, Britain, the United States, France and Germany called on all sides in Syria to de-escalate, and Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that Russia strongly condemns the terrorists' outburst and reminded that the Russian Armed Forces are operating in Syria at the request of the legitimate authorities in Damascus and are fighting back against terrorists.
