Senior US official vows to counter Iran, Hezbollah on Lebanon visit
[IsraelTimes] A senior US official says the US will step up efforts to counter Iran’s "dangerous activities" around the region including the financing and activities of proxy organizations such as Leb’s Hezbollah.Referring to the Iran-backed group, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale also says it is "unacceptable" to have a militia outside the control of the state and unanswerable to the people of Leb, digging attack tunnels into Israel and threatening regional stability. A former US ambassador to Leb, Hale makes the remarks after meetings with Lebanese officials. He also reiterates that the US will be bringing American troops home from Syria but says America remains committed to ensure the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group remains unable to remerge. Posted by: trailing wife 2019-01-15 |
