Washington contacts Iraqi Shiite groups
The diplomatic engagement led by the United States with Lebanon, particularly through Ambassador Michel Sehnaoui, appears to be an attempt to strengthen communication with the Shia community, including the Higher Islamic Shia Council and Hezbollah. These efforts focus on easing tensions by sending reassuring messages, emphasizing that Washington respects the Shia sect and does not consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. The approach underscores the importance of disarming Hezbollah and opening a dialogue through the Lebanese state, especially in light of Israeli pressure and the potential for escalated military activity. This initiative is part of a broader effort to neutralize the Shia community from Hezbollah's influence and to reaffirm Washington's desire to maintain its political and security role in Lebanon by supporting internal solutions and keeping channels of dialogue open.
