⋯ Though a positive outcome for Syria in terms of international politics and economy, Syria has to be weary about gulf activities, especially with what happened in 2011-2012.

Another concern is Mossad activity through UAE airports to Syria using foreign passports.

⋯ Seen here, a decade old video of the current UAE MFA that met Assad today abetting Arabs and the world community to topple the regime in Syria.

Though subsidies have been lifted on fuel, importers are still purchasing their USD from the central bank using LBP.

However due to the lack of hard currency at the central bank, the governor is demanding the importers get 10% of their needs in USD. This caused a new crisis, threatening to halt fuel distribution around Lebanon.

This is also leading to more demand of USD in the black market, causing an increase in the exchange rate, which will eventually also cause increase in fuel prices.

With this logic there is also a flaw. Syria never and will never have influence over Hezbullah's leadership's geopolitics or goals.

The short of a decade long war between Hezbullah and Amal, was but an old Syrian attempt to control Hezbullah as a proxy back in the 1980's. twitter.com/WithinSyriaBl…

⋯ This all changed in the 1990's and after 2006 to reach a whole new level after 2013. The relationship transcended from being an attempt to take control to supporting because Syrian politics was benefiting to a partnership that won't be affected by deals with the west or east.

⋯ Syria is expected to forge ties with all, as Iran forged ties with Syria's enemies (e.g. Turkey)

Diplomatic relationship is different than a state's geopolitical long term goals and understanding of its role in the world.

⋯ UAE will work with Syria and Iran, UAE will also work with Israel.

Syria and Iran will work with Hezbullah against Israel, and UAE will stay a life line for the economies of Syria and Iran.

The sword will be held from both sides, but only one will bleed.

⋯ Add to the above aside, Syria is the backbone of the Axis of Resistance and Syria falling (not Bashar Al-Assad as a man himself, but Syria as a system) will turn Hezbullah into Hamas tier, in terms of access to supplies, weapons, and cash. It also means Lebanon falling.

⋯ This is why Iran and Hezbullah invested everything to make sure USA and the gulf doesn't win in Syria. It was not a war they could have chosen to fight or not, it was an existential war forced upon them.

Hezbullah and Iran invested billions and lost many great men to stay alive.

⋯ It was a war USA and the Gulf chose as it didn't have direct impact on them. The results of the war were a gamble where either way they can adapt. Look at UAE in 2011 and in 2021.

⋯ When Iran itself refrains from dictating orders to Hezbullah, consulting Nasrallah himself on the overall strategy in Syria, it makes no sense to assume that deals with Syria will make it dictate or abandon Hezbullah when it could have done so in 2011.

After a social media attack on the Iranian football team over the number of their bags, the Minister of Interior Bassam Mawlawi, directed a letter to Airport security to open an investigation to find out if their bags were searched or not.

Palestine: IDF APCs entered Umm al-Fahm today as part of an exercise simulating fighting on the northern front (South Lebanon).

This is an old M113, an APC with minimal armor protection, no TROPHY, and an easy prey for outdated RPG-7.

The explosion heard in Tariq Al-Jadida was due to the explosion of a hand grenade in Shatila tunnel.

On this day 11-11 in 1982, the Lebanese resistance Hezbullah pioneered a new method in warfare by detonating a SVIED inside an Israeli occupation HQ in Tyre, south Lebanon, killing 74+ Israeli soldiers and injuring hundreds. In the words of Ahmad Qasir, 18: “they cursed my God, so I avenged”.

Until today, the Israeli security establishment covers the truth, claiming it was a gas explosion.

Yet, two documents leaked last year by Ronen Bergman from Israeli internal investigations, revealed that they knew what happened but were embarrassed to speak the truth.
