Syria denies secret talks with Hezbollah in Turkiye; Reuters cites six sources

Syria officially denies reports of secret talks with Hezbollah in Turkiye, but six sources from Syria, the US, and Lebanon told Reuters the meeting aimed to calm tensions. The denial contrasts with corroborating reports, suggesting possible covert diplomacy or internal disagreement. This matters as it signals potential shifts in regional alignments and efforts to de-escalate between Damascus and Hezbollah.
