This is called ‘pressing your advantage’ - From the AL Monitor: “Washington’s embassy in Beirut announced on Wednesday that it has brought in a new general to oversee US-led monitoring of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire as Lebanon’s government faces increased pressure from Israel and the United States to move against Hezbollah.
US Army Maj. Gen. Michael Leeney will take over for Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, allowing Jeffers to focus on his main role overseeing all American special operations forces in the Middle East and Central Asia as the Pentagon gears up for potential conflict with Iran.” It looks very much to me like the US is putting maximum pressure on Iran, including undermining their proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. The #SyrianRevolution already ran Iran’s militias and diplomats out of Syria. #Lebanon #MENA #Levant #Israel #Iran #War #ForeignAffairs #Syria #yemen
