PSP regrets recent events on Syrian Coast: Attempt by remnants of former regime to take revenge
NNA - The Progressive Socialist Party, on Saturday, expressed its regret in a statement, "for the events taking place in the Syrian coastal region, which fall within the framework of foreign attempts to target Syria's security and undermine its internal peace, posing a threat to the security of the entire region."
It stressed "the need for awareness and avoiding the many traps that the remnants of the former regime are trying to set to take revenge for the success of the new administration in overthrowing it."
The party, thus, called for "calm and resorting to the law," stressing "the necessity of supporting the process of rebuilding the new Syrian state and forming its army and security forces, which are the only guarantors of the safety of the brotherly Syrian people of all stripes."

Three Alawites killed after attack on Syria government forces
by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 June 2025, 11:44 Three Alawite civilians were killed in western Syria overnight, hours after an attack on government forces killed at least one officer, a war monitor said on Wednesday. Syrian authorities said four civilians were targeted by unknown attackers in the Tal Kalakh area near the Lebanese border, killing two of them. Since an Islamist-led offensive toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, the Alawite community, which he hails from, has been repeatedly attacked. Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the three civilians were killed in Baruha village by "local armed groups" who also set fire to shops and cars. The head of security in Homs province, Murhaf Naasan, said: "Four civilians were directly targeted by unknown people, killing two of them and critically wounding two others." The deaths comes hours after Syria's state-run SANA news agency reported that a security officer had been killed in an attack in the Tal Kalakh area. In March, sectarian massacres in the Alawite heartland on Syria's Mediterranean coast saw security forces and allied groups kill more than 1,700 civilians, mostly Alawites, according to the Observatory's figures. The Islamist-led government accused Assad loyalists of sparking the violence by launching coordinated attacks on security forces. The government has since launched an inquiry.

US envoy warns of assassination risk for Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa
US Ambassador to Türkiye Thomas Barrack (L) shakes hands with Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa (R) during a meeting in Istanbul, Türkiye, May 24, 2025. (Turkish MFA) Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa faces significant risks as he pushes for inclusive governance and engagement with the West, with concerns growing that militant factions may target him for assassination. 'We need to coordinate a protection system around [Sharaa],' Ambassador Tom Barrack told Al-Monitor , highlighting the urgency of safeguarding the fragile new leadership. Barrack, Trump's top envoy for Syria, also warned that delays in economic relief and the integration of foreign fighters could fuel instability and violence in the war-torn country. Following Trump's surprising decision to lift all US sanctions on Syria after meeting Sharaa in Riyadh, Barrack confirmed there are no conditions tied to the relief—only expectations of transparency and reform. The administration seeks to support economic recovery, Kurdish forces' integration, and efforts against ISIS. Sanctions waivers will continue until Congress repeals the Caesar Act, with Trump expected to sign an executive order removing decades of Syria sanctions. Syria faces ongoing challenges from Israel's expanded military presence and control over buffer zones. Sharaa has pledged to honor the 1974 ceasefire and hinted at future normalization with Israel. Barrack hopes both sides maintain a 'silent understanding' to avoid further conflict. Internally, sectarian violence and revenge killings threaten stability, but Barrack credits Sharaa's government with managing these issues under difficult circumstances. TURKEY TODAY
