Turkey is reportedly increasing its military presence along the Syrian border, raising concerns about a potential invasion of areas controlled by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces. Senior U.S. officials noted that Turkish troops, including commandos and artillery units, are accumulating near Kobani, and a cross-border operation could be imminent. Kurdish leader Ilham Ahmed urged U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to refrain from military actions. Meanwhile, tensions rise as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discusses the future of Syria with Erdoğan.
