In an interview with Al Hadath, Salam sharply criticized Hezbollah for drawing Lebanon into a broader regional war, saying that the group\u2019s rocket attacks on Israel had imposed the conflict on the country.<\/p>\n
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) \u2014 Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Sunday that members of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are directing Hezbollah operations in its ongoing conflict with Israel, intensifying concerns over foreign involvement in Lebanon\u2019s security affairs.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Al Hadath, Salam sharply criticized Hezbollah for drawing Lebanon into a broader regional war, saying that the group\u2019s rocket attacks on Israel had imposed the conflict on the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was declared that this war was in retaliation for the assassination of Khamenei, so this means this war was imposed upon us,\u201d Salam said, referring to tensions linked to Iran\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
The prime minister also pointed to a recent drone strike on a British base in Nicosia, claiming it underscored IRGC involvement. \u201cThat was the Revolutionary Guard, which is present and, unfortunately, is managing the military operation in Lebanon,\u201d he said, adding that operatives had entered the country using forged passports.<\/p>\n
Salam further cited statements by the IRGC announcing joint operations with Hezbollah against Israel as evidence of Tehran\u2019s operational control.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to the decisions we have made, and we are working to implement them,\u201d Salam said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In an interview with Al Hadath, Salam sharply criticized Hezbollah for drawing Lebanon into a broader regional war,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,53065,72926,17514,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-352948","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-irgc","10":"tag-lebanons-hezbollah","11":"tag-nawaf-salam","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-top-news","14":"tag-top-stories","15":"tag-topnews","16":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
