An unverified social media post from SyrianOsint on September 21st, 2025, at approximately 10:30 AM UTC, reportedly captured a plea to lift sanctions, stating "Can you lift the sanctions, please? We will behave, I swear…". This statement, if authentic, comes as Syrian Foreign Minister Asad a-Shevani is visiting Washington amidst ongoing diplomatic developments with Israel. This appeal follows discussions scheduled for today, September 21st, between Israeli and Syrian ministers concerning political and security developments. Syrian Foreign Minister Asad a-Shevani previously stated Syria's goal is to "stop Israel’s threat — whatever it takes," in the context of a confirmed transitional government deal between the two nations. Earlier this morning, Syrian Foreign Minister Asad a-Shevani, while in Washington, commented on a local election withdrawal, framing it as a reflection of Syria's commitment to women's roles. These remarks highlight cultural aspects amidst the broader political and security landscape. Separately, Syrian Government Forces reportedly launched artillery strikes near Aleppo on Saturday evening, resulting in the deaths of at least seven civilians, according to previous reports. The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) has also been accused of recruiting Syrian mercenaries.
