United States President Donald Trump has once again threatened Hezbollah with military intervention by Syria, whose president has repeatedly rejected the idea.
In an interview with Fox News aired on June 21, Trump stated that Israel has been unable to “put Hezbollah away” in Lebanon.
“I am disappointed Israel cannot put Hezbollah away,” he added.
Trump also criticized Israel’s military approach in Lebanon, saying that “they can’t do anything without knocking buildings down.”
The U.S. president suggested, yet again, that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa could be more effective in dealing with the group.
“I am close to giving this to Syria,” Trump said in terms of dealing with Hezbollah.
Trump made similar threats on several occasions in recent weeks, with Sharaa denying that Syria could intervene in Lebanon each time.
The latest remarks were also met by rejection from Sharaa, who stressed in an interview aired later on June 21 on Al Mashhad TV that Syria has no plans to take military action against Hezbollah despite past grievances over the group’s intervention in the country.
Sharaa stated that a “deep Syrian wound” remains over Hezbollah’s past support for former Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad.
“There is a major Syrian wound that is still alive to this day, and Hezbollah is part of it,” Sharaa said.
Despite those grievances, Sharaa said that Syria would be prepared to engage with the group “if doing so benefited both nations.”
“We will sit at the same table with Hezbollah if it serves the interests of Syria and Lebanon,” he added.
He also argued that the solution in Lebanon cannot come through war or bombardment, warning that renewed conflict there “would have significant consequences for Syria.”
“The situation in Lebanon cannot withstand further polarization,” he said, adding that there remains a major opportunity to halt the war and reach a political consensus to overcome the crisis.
In addition, the Syrian president said he had presented “a different approach” to French President Emmanuel Macron for ending the war in Lebanon, noting that Trump had expressed discomfort with the current situation in Lebanon, although his remarks had been “misunderstood.”
Despite Sharaa’s repeated objection to any military intervention against Hezbollah, recent reports indicate a Syrian military buildup along the border with Lebanon. Ultimately, under pressure from the U.S., the Syrian president could find himself forced to take such action.
Iran, the main backer of Hezbollah, has so far remained silent over the issue, but it is guaranteed that the Islamic Republic will not tolerate any such move by Syria.
Any Syrian military intervention against Hezbollah will likely spark a sectarian-charged regional war, possibly with Iranian strikes on Damascus, and a counteroffensive from Iraq by the Islamic Republic’s allies there. The U.S. and even Israel may be looking for such a scenario to make up for their recent military failure against Tehran.

two bad actors (literally and figuratively) shaking hands. both work for israel and the fake jews
one joo bootlicker with another joo bootlicker.
that is exactly what happens in that picture.
0range caligula just gave iran a “60 day license” to sell it’s own oil???… can’t make this up!… the good news is that what the pedo-in-chief won’t say is that this agreement also comes with a choke collar on it’s attack dog in southern lebanon!!!
i dont believe isreal is able to stop. they have gone into full vengence mode.
then let them unilaterally use $amps0n which will be their end. the u.$. is not going to use nukes given their history. and if they ever did it would be their end as well given russia and the prc’s nuclear capabilities. all iran has to do with it’s missile capabilities is hit dimona and it’s a defacto nuclear catastrophe should i$rael initiate!
they have samsonite option.
the time are running out for that trick, hoax 😂 “time, time” as bilbo croax 😂
hezbollah would smash the usa terrorists in a fight
chumpo: “i love bombing the shit out of iran. i ain’t playing, son.” this pos is what currently passes for an amerikunt president
this prick is an honest reflection of who they are.
yes, they have voted for him, and when he do the opposite to what was promised, they cant do anything about it 😂 the genocidial colony in the middle east are in everything a integrerad part of “us”, and their big planes, 6 billion humans killed, they began in the fake pandemic.
” i am disappointed jizzrael cannot put hezbollah away” – says the draft dodging yank c*cksucker.
al jolani is prick and a coward. back, syria was attacked by like chimera stuff, from all thise moderate headchoppers, wahhabis, kurds, israel, america, al nusra, isis, you name it. only thing that prevailed was traitorous corrupt erdogan that did that 6 years back with putin. putin shouldn’t listen to coward that only have rhetorics, just because of latakia and tartus.
him doing that for israel and supporting netanyahu in stealing lebaneze land for zionist colonization will trigger a the same response as edi rama had in albania when he so openly sold albanian land out to jared kushner for another epstein island. people wont take it and the flamingo protests are on going they demand him to step down israeli flags he hung in tirana are taken down by the people. julani will be overthrown if he starts a war against lebanon for israel.
all donny boy statements are rejected by those with even little wisdom. internationally. the puppet still does much theater for goyslop activities. it is impossible to understand any reasoning that his team and he issues. rouge leadership is an international disease.
when will americans get their digital currency and food allotments so endless international war can be increased for robber baron profit ?
moving against hezbollah will be his undoing. even in turkey the people will have had enough of the pro israel strawman so directly in their face. him working for israel so openly against those who resist zionist land grab and expansion will turn alot of muslims away from their zionist sunni leaders firmly into openly supporting iran. no matter what they pay these foreign mercs. it willl backfire like the flamingo protests in albania against edi rama and jared kushner
