'All ways lead to Rome': Street posters cause controversy in Syria
ALBAWABA - A mysterious advertisement, apparently for a restaurant opening in the Syrian city of Aleppo, has sparked fear and controversy in a country that has been experiencing security incidents, bombings, and kidnappings for months, some of them sectarian, religious, or even religious. The story began when posters were seen on public walls in the city bearing the phrase "All roads lead to Rome," without any further details revealing whether they were advertising posters. The placement of some of these posters in a neighborhood of Aleppo, mainly inhabited by Christians, sparked conflicting interpretations and concerns after two young men were spotted placing the posters on a wall in the Aziziyah neighborhood late at night. Syrian bloggers believed the posters were directed at the Christian population, posing a threat to them and urging them to leave Syria for Rome. Another group said the poster may represent an armed faction, while others called on the authorities to open an investigation into the posters. Many rumors emerged on social media following the ad shared by Syrians, before it became clear that they were advertisements for a restaurant opening in the city called "Roma."

Trump stated at a recent summit that new talks with Iran would be held next week, but he did not provide any details. A sixth round of US-Iran talks scheduled for Amman on June 15 was cancelled after Israeli strikes on Iranian targets two days earlier. Amid the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel, US forces bombed key Iranian nuclear sites. In statements to Iranian state television, Araghchi confirmed for the first time that the attacks caused "significant" damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
