General Kioumars Pourhashemi, a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards adviser in Aleppo, was killed during intense fighting between Syrian forces and jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

The clashes, described as the worst in years, have left over 140 combatants dead.

Iran, a key ally of SyriaтАЩs Bashar al-Assad, blamed the violence on a тАЬUS and Israeli planтАЭ to destabilize the region, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
