United States President Donald Trump praised Syria’s leadership for its efforts to restore stability, suggesting that President Ahmad al-Sharaa could play a role against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“Syria is doing a very good job of cleaning up their act,” Trump told NBC News in an interview aired on June 7.
In addition, he highlighted Sharaa as a “very good leader” who would be willing to assist the U.S. in regional security efforts.
Trump went on even to suggest that Syria could play a role in facilitating more “surgical” strikes against Hezbollah, saying he wanted a “better life” for people in Lebanon.
Israel carried out strikes on the same day against the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of Hezbollah, saying it was retaliating for attacks targeting its territory. Iran has since responded by resuming attacks on Israel, citing a violation of its ceasefire with the U.S. — which Tehran insists includes a complete cessation of hostilities in Lebanon.
Syria has not outright supported the American-Israeli war on Iran, but it has repeatedly condemned retaliatory strikes by the Islamic Republic targeting neighboring Gulf countries.
Right after the start of the war, multiple reports speculated that Sharaa could attack Iran allies upon a request from the U.S., namely Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Syrian president even openly called for the disarmament of the group more than once amid the war.
Hezbollah was a close ally to Syria’s former president, Bashar al-Assad, who was overthrown more than a year ago by a coalition of rebels led by Sharaa.
Despite official denial by Syria, this caused some serious tensions with the Islamic Republic, which openly threatened to strike targets in Damascus.
Trump’s latest remarks indicate that the U.S. is still considering pushing Syria into a battle with Hezbollah, in order to increase pressure on the group.
Despite the major disagreement with Hezbollah, Sharaa is likely not in favor of intervening against the group. Syria could pay a heavy price. The country’s war-torn infrastructure would be completely exposed to retaliatory strikes from Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. That’s being said, the Syrian president may not be in a position to say no to Trump.

many times rob call on americunt hillbillies to strike my anuz when i give her food stamps–we derp incel jizz together
at the bri c s mee ting when he betr ay ed syr ia, will bring kaza khst an into na to. ma ybe russia will get a proper payment this way. russia must pay for its betrayal of syria (the brics summit in kazan 20 24 s hould never be f org otten) and the mos t beautif ul payment for russia’s betrayal of syria would be the inclu sion of ukraine, armenia and kazakhstan in nato.
they betray alex saab, but the traitor delcy rodriguez will be paid by leopoldo lopez when he comes to power. i don’t worry about leopoldo lopez not paying this betrayal to delcy rodriguez.
assad betrayed syria. assad refused to pay the troops. assad played into the arab leagues lies. what does that have to do with russia? should russia have just gotten rid of assad and taken over syria? that probably would have been better, but you know peter ii just don’t roll like that.
a syrian man is only useful as lawn fertilizer, and a woman is only useful as a prostitute, that’s a fact. https://hawarnews.com/ar/142542 i hope zelensky kills all the assads and all the hassans in russia. the desire is clear, these people deserve to die, and i hope that the victory of nikol pashinyan will contribute to this. but if they also burned down kazan, where putin and erdogan agreed to betray putin’s syria during the brics meeting, all the better.
typical bloodthirsty joo wet dream from the same joo shill.
for a start i don’t know if that is true, but why would anyone want paying to defend their country?
the endless shi*fuc*ery of the jooz and their amerikunt whores destroyed syria. assad fought back against the proxy head chopper and throat slitter proxies of the jooz and saved it from their barbarism and joo carpet bombing and terror for over 12 years.
he also gave up at the end and accepted the deal the arabs gave him so did russia is why they remain in syria yet they killed way more syrians than all the axis and syrian soldiers combined you need to understand iran getting rid of israel and usa bases in the region means iran will control islam this means their influence will end sunni islam because this scenario shouldn’t happen according to sunni prophecies they believe jews win and end islam all together shia believe the exact opposite.
why not make the jooz pay for their genocide and ethnic cleansing? you have a very weird sense of priorities.
the idea of self responsibility is not a concept in israeli or indoctrinated religious zealotry. the regions energy providers are exiting the petro dollar. that will bring peace
i don’t care about the anus, i care about r us sia’ s pay for be trayi ng syria. i’m worried that the main trait ors pu tl er, a ss ad, m ah er al as s ad, s u hail al h as san and o thers will av oid fair pay for betray ing syr ia. f or the murder of sole ima ni, nas rall ah and pri go z hin, no crim inal was even th ro wn from the thro ne of the pre si dent. thi s s add en s me.
incorrect. many times rob call on zionists to self immolate and cleanse planet. rob also call on silly people to wake up and remove sick zionist child molesters and sacrificers from power. arrest, then imprison or hang them. rob keep calling for that until done.
putler betrayed syria and that’s why syria is the way it is. putler betrayed venezuela and that’s why delcy rodriguez was able to betray alex saab. armenians proved they are smart and elected pashinyan. there is a possibility that traitorous russia will finally suffer the revenge of armenia and pashinyan. and by that i don’t just mean the arrests of pro-russian putin whores. i hope and wish that turkey, as a payment for the betrayal that putin committed in kazan 2024 brics
what was russia supposed to do for venezuela? pay off delcy rodriguez even more then the americans did?
‘putin is hitler because he didn’t invade 5 countries i wanted him to invade’ – an idiot
would write the same if he did invade just that then that would be the reason for hating russians. just admit you hate russians no matter what i mean in this current world you are basically seen a saint for hating russia.
“syria’s former president, bashar al-assad, who was overthrown more than a year ago by a coalition of rebels led by sharaa.”
it’s interesting how southfront is trying here to portray isis and al-qaeda terrorists as rebels. i’d be interested to know who’s behind southfront.
will you kill vladimir putin and make anything useful possible? as long as the main culprits for that betrayal at the brics meeting in kazan 2024 are alive (putin and erdogan), there is no solution.
if at least putin died and someone came who saw that erdogan was bringing kazakhstan into nato, he might just take action.
but as long as putin, who killed prigozhin, was the main hero of syria (along with soleimani and nasrallah , it is not possible.
vladimir putin has very bad advisors, who else would be behind southfront? nowadays russia has no problem being with terrorists. go to north-afghanistan.blogspot.com and search for kabulov, who is a jihadist supporter.
‘vladimir putin has very bad advisors’, you moron. the people who pay you are losing their war with russia. one is losing their evil empire and the rest are losing their minds and their economies. they all lost their public support long ago. you need to update your view of winning. maybe ask an adult.
rebels my arse. they were terrorists or traitors to their own people, plain and simply. even simple enough for you to understand.
lol. israel hasn’t enough shabbat goyim.
all this is happening because putin killed prigozhin and utkin, trump killed soleimani and netanyahu killed nasrallah.
delcy rodriguez betrayed alex saab and the hts gang is in power in syria with the blessing of putin, trump and netanyahu.
i hope the invoice comes and delcy rodriguez, trump, putin and netanyahu are issued a proper payment order.
because these people need to be put on the right side of the balance sheet.
nikol pa shi nyan and volo dy myr ze len sky may be able to put putin on the righ t side of the balance sheet, leopold o lope z and juan guaid o will defi nitely put delcy rodri guez on the prison ers’ accou nt for netan yahu and trump i’m wor ried that they won’t be prop erly put on the right side of balance sh eet.
brics kazan 2024 was decisive. at that time, putin and erdogan agreed. all these articles are designed to mislead people into not seeing that putin is a criminal and will be blamed for the destruction of hezbollah he was born of the jewish woman shelomova.
all this is happening because of putin’s meeting with erdogan in 2024 in kazan as part of the brics meeting. i hope pashinyan and zelensky cut off kazan from russia.
that julani bitch will probably oblige, asking al qaeda for help lol!
i hope that all the al hassans and all the al assads who fled to moscow will be tried by soldiers from krakow and imotski. in moscow. and in the end, they burned down traitorous moscow.
take yo meds.
and why exactly does china not want to wipe out all the uyghurs in syria with a virus (and the corrupt traitorous arabs too) sooner or later, the uyghurs in syria will be educated and will attack china and start separatism.
chinese imagine themselves as some kind of celestial people who are not bothered by mortal problems.
e que o irã ataque a síria e mate julani ha ha ha ha ha
one joo whore (chumpo) telling another joo whore (jewlani) to do the jooz dirty work for them. the jooz cannot defeat hezbollah. they’ve been trying for 40 years.
when losing and in doubt, call al queda mercenaries to fight your forever wars. not a presidential statement, but an admission of loss.
they have always been with him-zio slave, america should wake up.
censorship censorship censorship this is a branch of the bbc
wow, big surprise!! who would have thought of such a thing? everyone. trump wasn’t fondling him for no reason.
it seems that the houthi’s have another target. if the headchopper of damascus says no to the trumpster he will find himself back on the ‘terrorist’ list and if he says yes to the trumpster he will be bitch for the usadmin and the apartheid regime of isreal. both these admins are merging their military forces, so it won’t be long before the us sets itself up as a legitimate target and a pariah state. as time goes on missiles from the me get a longer range.
usa proxy terrorists ready to roll. time for trump to kill himself be sticking his head up his ass!
