Turkish troops seize the centre of Syrian border town

Turkish forces and their allies say they have seized control of the centre of Ras al-Ain, a key Syrian border town, after four days of heavy fighting. Kurdish forces are disputing the claim.
But advances on the ground have meant a setback in relations with some countries especially the United States.
And Iran, which had urged Turkey to pull its troops, is now offering to mediate between Turkey and the Kurds.
