Iraqi Resistance Warns Syrian Despot al-Sharaa: Attack on Lebanon Means War

The Islamic Resistance Coordination Committee in Iraq warned Syria’s transitional leader Ahmad al-Sharaa against any hostile action toward Lebanon.

In a statement, the Committee cautioned al-Sharaa that any attack against Lebanon coordinated with the US-Zionist enemy, under any pretext, would be considered a declaration of war on the Axis of Resistance.

“We warn Abou Mohammad al-Jolani that any hostile move toward Lebanese territory, coordinated with the US-Zionist enemy and under any pretext, will amount to a declaration of war on the entire Axis of Resistance,” the statement said.

‘The Resistance in Iraq can crush your movement’

The Coordination Committee also said that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which previously fought US occupation forces and ISIS militants, has the capability to confront any attempt to target the Resistance or Hezbollah.

“The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which made US occupation forces suffer and left the bodies of ISIS fighters for the wolves of the valleys, is capable of crushing your movement if you become involved in attempts to target the resistance environment or Hezbollah,” the statement said.

The group added that it is closely monitoring the coordination between the new authorities in Syria and the enemy.

“If you dare to violate the sovereignty of Lebanon and its patient, resisting people, we will turn your land into an open battlefield of fire,” the statement added.

Tensions rise following Syrian claims

The statement comes after the Syrian Ministry of Defense claimed it had detected Hezbollah reinforcements near the Lebanese-Syrian border.

The ministry also alleged that Hezbollah launched shells toward its positions in the town of Serghaya, saying it was evaluating the situation.

This came after Hezbollah confronted the zionist occupation forces attempting to infiltrate Lebanese territories, particularly the Bekaa valley, which borders Syria.

You sold us to #Turkey in 2018, which annexed our Kurdish city of #Afrin for allied jihadist factions. Then again in 2019, when our cities of #SereKaniye and #GireSpi were handed over to Turkey for “security concerns,” even though not a single bullet from Rojava had been fired toward Turkey.

Thousands of us were massacred, ethnically cleansed, hunted street by street. Our women fighters were beheaded, their braids cut as war trophies by jihadist men.
We are the Kurds you betrayed in #Basur, northern #Iraq, who held a popular referendum in 2017, winning by 97% to separate from Iraq, a country that had ethnically cleansed and murdered us for years, only for our freedom to be denied. The Iraqi central government, encouraged by your condemnation of our referendum, attacked us and forcibly took over our Kurdish city of #Kirkuk.

⬆️ The US is a net exporter of oil. It does not import oil from any country. But the mere ability to control the flow of the world's #oil (regardless of price) remains an essential arm of #US foreign policy.

Sanctions on #Russia, pressure on #India to not buy oil from Russia, attack on #Venezuela, #Iran (twice), #Iraq (twice), and other countries in the #MiddleEast suddenly converge into a coherent picture under a simple explanation.

"There's nothing that #Iran could have conceded that would have deterred the long-standing #US drive to control Middle Eastern #oil… That control remains an essential arm of U.S. #foreignPolicy… ability to hurt other economies by denying them access to energy if they do not adhere to U.S. foreign policy. This insistence on blocking the world’s access to energy sources not under American control is why the U.S. has attacked #Venezuela, #Syria, #Iraq, #Libya and #Russia."
