Syrian National Army forces trained and equipped by Turkey are advancing towards the Kurdish-controlled enclave of Manbij, following the withdrawal from Tal Rifaat. Turkey aims to exploit Iran’s declining influence in the region while pursuing diplomatic and military strategies against Kurdish autonomy. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan discussed Syria’s territorial integrity with Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasizing Turkey’s stance against the PKK. Concurrently, severe airstrikes from government and Russian forces have targeted Idlib, highlighting ongoing conflicts in the region.
