CryptoWorld News reports that, regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent multiple claims that Syria “can help handle the Hezbollah issue in Lebanon,” Syrian Interim Government President Bashar, in a media interview on the 21st, publicly denied that Syria is seeking military intervention in Lebanon and urged the United States to “stop the war.” Trump did not specify what way he hopes Syria would intervene in the Lebanon situation, but some media speculate that Syrian forces may be deployed to areas in southern Lebanon. Bashar denied this on the 21st in an interview with a television station in the United Arab Emirates. Bashar said Trump’s related remarks were “misread as Syria invading Lebanon tomorrow.” He said Syria is very concerned about the situation in Lebanon, and Lebanon’s security and stability are closely linked to the situation there. Syria “has various tools to exert a positive influence within Lebanon, but this largely depends on whether the Lebanese side agrees.”

By comparison, Iran is far away… Venezuela is relatively close, and Cuba is even right next door.” Regarding Israel, Trump said, “If it weren’t for me, Israel wouldn’t exist today, because I terminated Obama’s deal—the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA)—which was a pathway to nuclear weapons.” When discussing the issue of the post-war balance of power, Trump said, “There are no limits.” “I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know theoretically there are, but in practice, there are no limits.”
