Iraqi intelligence successfully foiled an assassination attempt on Syrian President Sharaa, as per a recent report.
In the complex political landscape of the Middle East, several significant events have unfolded over the past few days.
Iraqi intelligence has shared detailed information with their Syrian counterparts, leading to the foiling of a plot to assassinate Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa. This development comes amidst warnings from the U.S. special envoy to Syria, Tom Barrett, about serious threats targeting President al-Sharaa.
The plot, reportedly orchestrated by former Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters who defected from the group following President al-Sharaa's rise to power, was foiled by both Syrian and Iraqi intelligence agencies. However, it's important to note that Iraqi security sources have not been reported as responsible for any assassination attempts on President al-Sharaa, contrary to earlier media reports.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is coordinating with the new Syrian government, particularly on security matters. Sudani has also called for a "comprehensive political process that includes all components and sects" in Syria.
Elsewhere, Syria is anticipated to sign security and military agreements with Israel by the end of the year, marking a potential shift in regional alliances.
On a separate note, Syrian TV series 'Bab Al-Hara' producer has been abducted by men posing as security personnel, sparking concerns about safety and security within the country.
