Iraqi Advice to Sharia: Avoid Lebanon
The article discusses Iraqi advice directed at Syria to refrain from intervening in the Lebanese issue, amid American and Saudi pressures urging Damascus to play a role against Hezbollah. Baghdad has emphasized that any Syrian intervention in Lebanon could lead to security and regional repercussions detrimental to Syria itself. Iraqi resistance factions will respond to any threats against Shiites in Lebanon or Hezbollah from Syrian territory, while sending a clear message that Damascus should not involve itself in past policies or engage militarily. Meanwhile, Syrian President Ahmad Shalash has rejected involvement in Lebanese politics, affirming that the current priority is to maintain Syria’s stability and avoid opening new fronts. This comes as Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi seeks to visit Damascus to discuss economic relations and internal affairs, amidst American pressure on Syria to take a more active role in the Lebanese file. It is also perceived that any limited Syrian intervention would require Turkish cover, which is currently unavailable.
