Overview
Syrian rebel groups, primarily Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, have captured most of Aleppo, shifting the dynamics of the decade-long civil war. This unexpected offensive has led to significant airstrikes by Assad's regime, supported by Russian forces, causing heavy civilian casualties. Analysts are concerned about the implications for U.S. troops in the region and the potential rise of ISIS amidst the turmoil. Various foreign powers including Iran, Iraq, and Turkey remain involved, with inspections on how Assad's government can react against these insurgents now that they have lost a critical city.
