🇺🇸🇸🇾 - US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard calls out HTS jihadists; openly saying Syria is under the control of an Al Qaeda affiliate.
The HTS rebrand will not last long. So far, the Trump administration, Israel, Iran, and to a lesser extent the Shiite-led Iraqi government, despite having different agendas are all major opponents of the HTS regime. The SDF and other non-state actors also pose threat to HTS as do many within its ranks. An Islamic State resurgence is immanent.
HTS only has Turkey Russia and Saudi to fall back on. Saudi is not a reliable ally. As for Turkey its economy is frankly in the gutter and its project will not last long.

"Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. Groups are also not fully encrypted, end-to-end. This includes private groups. Private groups cannot be seen by other Telegram users, but Telegram itself can see the groups and all of the communications that you have in them. All of the same risks and warnings about channels can be applied to groups. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights.
