US presses calm as Israel-Turkey tensions in Syria draw diplomatic push

The United States is mediating amid rising tensions after Israel's strike on the Abu al-Duhur base in Syria, urging restraint and dialogue among Israel, Turkey, and Syria while reaffirming Israel's right to defend itself and Syria's sovereignty. Washington says it remains in contact with all three countries through multiple channels and is facilitating talks, including a meeting between Mossad chief Roman Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani in Jordan, to prevent wider confrontation as Israeli activity continues in southern Syria.

Syria rebuts Turkish-base claims after Israeli strike on Abu al-Duhur airbase

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani told Axios that Damascus did not plan to host a Turkish base at Abu al-Duhur and that Israel’s strike—damaging refurbished runways—was unjustified; Turkish officers had visited for training, but there was no Turkish buildup. Israel said the attack aimed to prevent such a buildup, while Syria insists the base was largely empty and not fully operational. The interview also notes US-mediated security talks with Israel, Syria’s push for de-escalation and sovereignty, and that Trump was briefed but did not publicly criticize the strike.
