— An Iranian official told Al Jazeera:

"Washington has made changes to the draft memorandum of understanding, and this is unacceptable.

No agreement can be reached if our frozen funds are not released and sanctions are not lifted".

🚨EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION

Abu Siraj Younes al-Amsha (brother of Muhammad al-Jassem), a brigade commander in the 62nd Division, is stealing the salaries of more than 700 Syrian mercenaries who were stationed in Libya, for two full months.

In addition, he is confiscating the property of residents in the following areas:

Abu Qaddoura (on the road from the al-Shahour Exhibition Center to Hama, towards Qamhana), around Jabal Zein al-Abidin, and extending to the town of Umm al-Tuwaiqiyah (the brigade's headquarters in al-Amshat).

The orders to confiscate the land come directly from Abu Amsha himself, and no law can stop or deter him.

It should be noted that a few days ago, the al-Amshat group clashed with Bedouin tribes in the area, expelling them from their lands in the rural areas of Salamiyah, al-Hamra, and al-Zaghba.

The al-Amshat group is seizing land in these areas by force and expelling residents, even if they are Sunni. The al-Amshat group wants to build its own empire in Hama.

300 Kurdish youths taken hostage, some with kidneys removed!

More than 300 young people from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (BASHUR) were taken to Libya last summer under the promise of going to England, where they were taken hostage by militias. A ransom of $5,000 was demanded from the families of the hostages, and some had their kidneys removed.

The current Syrian authorities are pursuing a deceptive policy of directing tribes and clans to serve their political and security objectives, exploiting their traditional loyalties to strengthen their influence and settle scores with opponents. Instead of building a state based on institutions, they rely on tribal and sectarian incitement to manage conflicts, deepening social divisions.

In this context, the advisor to the “interim president” for tribal affairs stated: “The tribes and clans will be the safety valve and the keys to goodness.”

However, reality has shown the opposite, as these “keys” have been turned into tools in the hands of the authorities to carry out their agenda.

Following the massacres in Sweida in July 2025, carried out by elements of the Ministry of Defense and involving Arab tribes in the bloodshed of the Druze during what was described as a barbaric invasion, widespread and unprecedented violations were committed, including killings, looting, and the burning of villages.

The events resulted in the deaths of more than 1,700 people (most of them Druze) and the displacement of around 192,000 others.

After international pressure and reports documenting the massacres (July 14–19), the authorities exonerated themselves and placed the blame on “outlaw groups”—namely these tribes—presenting them to the law in order to evade responsibility.

In other words, these tribes became a scapegoat for al-Sharaa and his imposed authority, used to justify their terror against the people—much like what the Assad regime had done in the past.

The Syrian people as a whole are suffering from dire living conditions. After power was handed over to the current government, many lost even the basic means of making a living that had been relatively available before.

The country is facing a severe electricity crisis and an acute fuel shortage, while those in power continue to enrich themselves amid soaring prices and a collapse in purchasing power.

The relative security stability has not translated into an improvement in living conditions; instead, it has further increased the suffering of ordinary citizens.

US forces have begun to launch airstrikes at targets in Iran in response to yesterdays downing of a US military helicopter.
