Iran has pledged to provide comprehensive military assistance to the Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, in response to ongoing terrorist attacks. The Syrian regime has formally requested this support as rebel forces advance, having recently seized control of significant territory, including most of Aleppo. Iranian and Russian military officials are urging the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to hold their positions in Hama and resist any withdrawal. Reports indicate that Iranian advisors are actively collaborating with Syrian commanders to organize a defense of Hama, amidst fears that the city could fall to rebel forces. The situation remains critical as Syrian rebels have breached one of Assad's palaces, marking a significant escalation in the conflict that has persisted since 2011.
