Syrian authorities have declared a ceasefire in Aleppo after days of deadly clashes with Kurdish forces, offering them hours to withdraw.

Speaking on state television, Khamenei accused foreign-backed forces of trying to destabilize the country amid a wave of domestic protests.

“There is no sign of easing at the moment, and unless the government takes serious action, this may continue or even escalate,” Keshishian said.

Russia has repeatedly stated it would never accept the deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine, considering it a threat to its national security.

“Let everyone forget about that. What exists is power, cooperation, alliances, and mutual support,” he said.
