Russia has expressed support for the sovereignty of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon following attacks attributed to Israel against regional partners of Iran.
as part of a cross-borders campaign against Iran and its regional allies.
Though they now constituted an official wing of the Iraqi armed forces, the Popular Mobilization Forces also have links to Iran and were one of the Islamic Republic's Arab partners to be targeted within a day of one another last week, losing a field commander in Al-Qaim. Though Israel has not claimed responsibility for all of the attacks, including the one that took place in Iraq, it has widely been seen as part of a broadening anti-Iran campaign that has frustrated Russia.
After Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah vowed retaliation, Israel reportedly conducted another attack the following day on a base operated by the Palestine Liberation Front - General Command, another group fighting on behalf of the government in Syria, in eastern Lebanon's Qusaya. Both incidents, coupled with the latest attack in Syria, caught Moscow's attention.
Hariri had also earlier spoken with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and did so again this Sunday, after Hezbollah reportedly blew up an Israeli armored vehicle and Israel conducted strikes on the group's positions in cross-border attacks. In separate calls to Pompeo and an adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron, Hariri's office said he asked"for the intervention of the United States, France and the international community in the face of the developments on the southern border.
