By Bassem Mroue & Qassim Abdul-Zahra / The Associated Press BEIRUT—Thousands of fighters from Iran-backed groups in the Middle East are ready to come to Lebanon to join with the militant Hezbollah group in its battle with Israel if the simmering conflict escalates into a full-blown war, officials with Iran-backed...
US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink speaks in Taguig City, Philippines on May 21, 2024. On Saturday, June 22, 2024, the senior US diplomat held talks in Vietnam and said that the trust between the two countries was at an “all time high,” just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to Hanoi.
Over the past decade, Iran-backed fighters from Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan fought together in Syria’s 13-year conflict, helping tip the balance in favor of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Officials from Iran-backed groups say they could also join together again against Israel. Some of the groups have already staged attacks on Israel and its allies since the Israel-Hamas war started Oct. 7. The groups from the so-called “axis of resistance” say they are using a “unity of arenas strategy” and they will only stop fighting when Israel ends its offensive in Gaza against their ally, Hamas.
Eran Etzion, former head of policy planning for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a panel discussion hosted by the Washington-based Middle East Institute on Thursday that he sees “a high probability” of a “multi-front war.” Hezbollah officials have said they don’t want an all-out war with Israel but if it happens they are ready.
