With Syria's army preparing for a major offensive in Idlib province, the country's last opposition stronghold, the leaders of Russia, Iran and Turkey will gather in Tehran on
Friday to discuss a path toward ending the seven-year civil war. THE BIG PICTURE: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad wants to strike a decisive blow in Idlib, but the three leaders meeting on
Friday have clashing concerns and objectives. Meanwhile, the estimated 3 million civilians currently in the northwestern province —many of whom have already relocated from elsewhere due to
the war — are in a precarious position.
