Look, I understand that everyone wants this all to be false, but Syrian government media are currently in denial, I wish it was true what they say, but it's not. I wish I was wrong.

— 🇸🇾 NEW: A video was just uploaded, apparently showing SAA soldiers inside Hama, saying the city has not been taken

However, we saw similar videos in Aleppo last night, and the city was confirmed to have fallen to HTS just hours later.

The sunset in Hama, Syria, was approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes ago.

I think the video was recorded before HTS had entered the city, and just surfaced now.

The HTS-affiliated media outlets are circulating videos of their presence in very limited areas in the outskirts of Hama, in order to falsely claim that they have captured the entire city.

— ❗️🇸🇾 CLARIFICATION: It seems there is no coup, at least for now, in Damascus, and this was a lie spread by the terrorists

The Syrian Arab Army, specifically the 4th Division under the command of Maher al-Assad, is combing the streets and engaging in firefights with local rebel sleeper cells.

— 🇸🇾/🇦🇪 NEW: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad held a phone call with Mohammed Bin Zayed, the ruler of the UAE

Mohammed Bin Zayed, surprisingly, states that the UAE stands with Syria, and that it supports Syria's sovereignty and right to defend against terrorist movements.

I think many Arab leaders are realizing that they prefer Assad over the uncertainty that could come after him.

Especially in recent years, the Gulf states and Arab states in general have tried to mend ties with Assad. I think they had finally accepted the reality of an Assad-led Syria, so they have little appetite for regime change right now, except maybe Qatar.

⚡️🇸🇾 - Contrary to the reports stating HTS captured the city of Hama, The Paratroopers of the "25th Special Forces" Division of the SAA were deployed in 'Qamhana', north of Hama.

The city is secured, there are no clashes.

— 🇸🇾 WATCH: Soldiers of the Syrian Arab Army have gathered in the center of Hama, preparing a defense of the city.

They are heard chanting: 'With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for you O' Bashar!'

It do be like that. Alawite bros are a bit lost, but they got the spirit.

— 🇸🇾/🇮🇷 NEW: Iranian advisors are present in Hama, and are jointly planning with Syrian commanders to organize a defense of the city
