U.S. Accuses Hezbollah of Aiding Syria’s Crackdown

Share:

The United States accused the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on Friday of deep involvement in the Syrian government’s violent campaign to crush the uprising there, asserting that Hezbollah has trained and advised government forces inside Syria and has helped to expel opposition fighters from areas within the country.

The American accusations, which were contained in coordinated announcements by the Treasury and State Departments announcing new sanctions against Syria, also accused Hezbollah of assisting operatives of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force in training Syrian forces inside Syria. A Treasury statement said the Hezbollah secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, had overseen those activities, which it called part of the Syria government’s “increasingly ruthless efforts to fight against the opposition.”

The accusations, which went beyond previous American charges about Hezbollah support for Syria’s government, seemed intended to counter critics of the Obama administration who say that the White House is not doing enough to support the Syrian opposition now that diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict are paralyzed.

Some Hezbollah experts expressed considerable skepticism, however, saying that the accusations should be approached with caution unless more evidence was presented.

The accusations were also part of an effort to further draw attention to the Hezbollah-Iran alliance, which American and Israeli intelligence officials have sought to portray as a subversive collaboration that has not only destabilized the Middle East but has been implicated in terrorist violence elsewhere, including a deadly bus bombing of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last month.

In a related announcement, the State Department said the United States had blacklisted Sytrol, a state-owned Syrian oil company, accusing it of bartering gasoline with Iran in violation of American sanctions over the disputed Iranian nuclear program. The announcement said the United States “remains deeply concerned about the close ties shared by the Iranian and Syrian regimes and is committed to using every tool available to prevent regional destabilization.”

The accusations were made a few days after Iran’s top national security official, Saeed Jalili, visited Syria and assured its embattled president, Bashar al-Assad, that Iran, Syria and Hezbollah were an unbreakable axis of resistance to Israel and its Western allies, reinforcing Syria’s evolving role as the arena of a proxy war pitting Iran and its friends against the West.

American officials would not provide evidence for the new accusations against Hezbollah and avoided specifying whether its operatives were engaged in combat inside Syria, as some anti-Assad fighters have asserted. But the accusations appeared to open a new avenue of American pressure on Syria’s government and to be a way to embarrass Mr. Nasrallah, a powerful figure whose unwavering public support for Mr. Assad has created political strains in his home base of Lebanon.

Many Lebanese support the uprising against Mr. Assad and his ruling Alawite minority, and thousands of Syrian refugees from Mr. Assad’s crackdown have fled to Lebanon.

“Hezbollah is actively providing support to the Assad regime as it carries out its bloody campaign against the Syrian people,” David. S. Cohen, the Treasury’s under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, told reporters in a telephone conference call. He said the designation of Hezbollah in a Treasury Department sanction makes “clear to parties around the world — both domestically and internationally — the true nature of Hezbollah’s activities.”

The State Department’s coordinator for counterterrorism, Daniel Benjamin, who also participated in the call, said, “Hezbollah’s actions in Syria underscore its fears of a Syria without the Assad regime and the impact that this would have on the group’s capabilities and its strength over the long term.”

Despite repeated questioning, neither official would provide details to support the accusations, or specific evidence of how they had reached their conclusions. “This is not a matter of idle speculation or press reports,” Mr. Benjamin said. “This is based on a great deal of information-gathering that we have done and we’ve synthesized and we’ve put it together in an authoritative document, and we believe that it will be taken seriously by many around the world.”

An American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Hezbollah was using “its specialized skill set and understanding of insurgencies” to aid Syria. “The group’s deep familiarity with the Syrian landscape makes it a nimble and effective military partner,” the official said. “Even though at current levels its assistance probably won’t change the outcome of the conflict, it’s prolonging the fight and contributing to the deaths of innocent civilians.”

Both Hezbollah and Iran have repeatedly denied that they have aided Mr. Assad’s military. They have supported his contention that the uprising against him is led by terrorist groups armed by Sunni Arab monarchies, Israel and the United States.

Nonetheless, Mr. Nasrallah has made no secret of his support for Mr. Assad, extolling his leadership after the assassination of top presidential aides in a Damascus bombing carried out by insurgents last month. “These martyr leaders were comrades in arms in the conflict with the Israeli enemy,” he said.

Hezbollah has long been classified as a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel. But Hezbollah also is an important political party and a welfare organization in Lebanon, with a long history of helping the country’s Shiite Muslim and Palestinian populations.

Matthew Levitt, director of the program on counterterrorism and intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that while broad accusations of Hezbollah involvement in the Syrian conflict were not new, the Treasury statement ratcheted up the pressure because the United States government was stating them as fact and adding that Mr. Nasrallah was personally overseeing the assistance. He said the statement appeared to be an attempt to embarrass Hezbollah and Iran politically, rather than to exact a practical toll through sanctions.

“The sanction effect of this is minimal,” he said. “This is a name-and-shame exposé type of an action.”

Other scholars of Middle East politics questioned the accuracy of the accusations against Hezbollah, saying it probably is giving Mr. Assad only limited military help. They note that while Hezbollah has a strategic interest in protecting Mr. Assad, it is also a savvy political operator that may need to hedge its bets if Mr. Assad is deposed and replaced by a Sunni-led government. They also said Hezbollah’s power in Lebanon depended partly on maintaining a Lebanese nationalist image rather than a sectarian Shiite one.

“There’s not a lot of meat in it,” Augustus Richard Norton, a professor of international relations at Boston University, said of the Treasury sanction. “My reading — and I’m sure this isn’t a popular reading in Washington in some quarters — is that Hezbollah has been taking a very low-key approach to the Syrian crisis precisely because they have such high domestic stakes in Lebanon.”

Others said they needed to see more facts behind the American charges. Yezid Sayigh, a scholar of Arab militaries and a senior associate at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, said the accusations may be based on “an extremely specific and narrow form of assistance, while giving the impression that Hezbollah is involved in giving a much wider range of assistance.”

In Syria, the focus of the conflict continued on Friday to be the siege of Aleppo, the largest city, where insurgents have been battling government forces backed by jets, helicopters, artillery and tanks, and have retreated from some neighborhoods. Rebel commanders have complained in recent days of ammunition shortages, and some have criticized Western countries for not moving more aggressively to help them.

Britain, however, seemed to move a step closer to aid the rebel side. Foreign Secretary William Hague said the British government would establish official contacts with insurgents inside Syria and expand its nonlethal aid to groups fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army.

Yes the U.S is the greatest country in the world and that’s why I got my PhD in cancer research (something that my own country of Lebanon will not do because all they care about is money and who you know).

          Really you proved that? How? Who told u I thought CA stands for cancer? I know they are markers. Ok instead of asking me a general question and then thinking i’m not in the cancer field, let me tell u a little about my project and since u think you are an expert cause u know a bunch of markers, let’s see if u can help here: I’m curently working on Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. They are essential unsaturated fatty acids cause your body doesn’t make them so u get them by food. Omega-3 is protective against cancer (especially colon and liver) while Omega-6 is implicated in inflamation leading to cancer through up-regulation of the nuclear NF-kb and other proteins. These unsaturated fatty acids undergo lipid peroxidation by oxidative stress and by reactive oxygen species leading to production of DNA adducts with acrolein being produced the highest by Omega-3 DHA cause of more double bonds than Omega-6 Arachidonic Acid. These DNA adducts are repaired by the Nucleotide Exicision Repair (NER) pathway and not by the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway. But why is DHA causing apoptosis in colon cancer cells (I’m using the HT-29 Adenocarcinoma cells). They say that Acrolein causes the opening of the pores in the Mitochondria leading to a decrease of ATP which leads to apoptosis of cells, but I’m testing now the possibilty that Acrolein is causing DNA damage not in the nucleus but in the mitochondrial DNA leading to apoptosis. You know why? Because there is more oxidative stress in the mitochondria and their DNA is repaired by BER, not NER! You think that’s a possibility?

          And to answer you question about what u gave to Lebanon, I already mentioned before but u only read what u want. I went back to Lebanon and spent years and a lot of hard work to give back to my country, but all they did is steal my money and didn’t care if I was smart. They just cared if I had money. I could not get anywhere there cause I was not kissing the behineds of your political leaders.

          I’m happy here in the U.S cause they respect your accomplishments and they made dreams come true for a lot of Lebanese and other Arab people and that’s why I was mad when Mahdi said the United Shit of America. I was trying to tell him not to say that cause Lebanon is a crappy place cause I’ve tried both and I know!

          I don’t need any reminders because I’ve been writing on this site for about 3 years now and almost never say bad things unlike all the other dirty stuff that are said here. Plus I only used one bad word in response to a person that said the same bad word about my country. But you are right and I will not use words like that anyway because it’s not worth it. Thanks.

        And the reason the Leb HAS these problems in the first place is mostly the presence of the hezbians and the syrian influence. Get rid of these two factors(and Iran-away), the Leb will once again be “the Pearl of the Middle East”.

          the  only reason lebanon was the pearl of the middle east is because of the western culture brought by the christians….Lebanon lost its values when saoudis sent to us palestinian refugees welcomed by hariri like salafis and ohter mercenaries paid by saoudi checks….i believe that the shias, unlike wahhabis hariris and salafis, are prone to education and are liable to join evolution…unfortunately they are just a minority…..

What kind of a person you are to state that you will replicate the cowardly actions of the dead bastard, I guess you like his fate. So what don’t you spare the aggravation, go ahead and blow yourself up and go meet your seventy virgins. Idiot

          First: Actually it’s better if you don’t come to the best country in the world because it will be a waste and it’s better to give the visa to another person who will appreciate it and benefit more from coming here.

          Second: I’m not running anywhere because I’m a proud U.S citizen and I’ve been here for 20 years.

CEA alpha fetoprotein and Beta HCG….what tumor markers are they??? use google
        if u have wrong answers you would have confirmed what i am almost sure of that you hold no phd and that you were never lebanese

        1. Mazen_M Avatar

          That’s funny:) So you googled that yourself:) I don’t have to confirm anything to you cause anything I write, you will say I googled it. Typical Lebanese.

          Plus, it’s not set that there is a specific number of tumor markers. What kind of a question is that. You think there is a specific answer like asking how many planets are there!!. Cancer is the most complicated disease and I proudly work in this field. I dedicated my whole life for this and then someone like you comes along and tells me to prove it. This is exactly what happened to me when I tried to work and live in Lebanon. Nobody cared and everyone said “You think you know this stuff just because you are a Dr.!!!” and “maybe he is not a Dr, he is just saying this stuff”. On the other hand, everyone in the U.S respects me and appreciates what I do without doubting me or making me prove anything. So with all this, you want me to love Lebanon and say it is my country when it treated me like crap. When Lebanon changes (and I tried to help people there and make changes, but nobody cared), then I will love it and will be proud to go back there and pass my knowledge to the young generation.

          By the way (I forgot to mention above), just because you work in a certain field like Cancer for example, does not mean you know every single answer there is. No one knows every single thing in their field especially if it’s a huge field like cancer cause there are hundreds and hundreds of types and causes.

          I dont care if you are a cancer phd or not, i am trying to prove you are lying and thank you for proving that. i dont need to google in order to know the different types of CA markers… you thought CA stands for cancer…not at all…CA is a series of markers
          CA19-9 is a marker for pancreatic cancer, CA125 for ovaries and breast…see sir, you are as much of a cancer specialist as i speak chinese…same to your lebanese belonging…many palestinian refugees claim to be lebanese…many syrian refugees too……as well as others…some egyptian moroccan syrian…restaurants put lebanese restaurants because lebanese is something that people are proud of unlike the others….one question sir….you said Lebanon gave you nothing, what did you give to Lebanon?

          Then you should stay the away from this site also. You are disgruntled because you applied for a visa and you got turned down. What kind of a person you are to state that you will replicate the cowardly actions of the dead bastard, I guess you like his fate. So what don’t you spare the aggravation, go ahead and blow yourself up and go meet your seventy virgins. Idiot

          First: Actually it’s better if you don’t come to the best country in the world because it will be a waste and it’s better to give the visa to another person who will appreciate it and benefit more from coming here.

          Second: I’m not running anywhere because I’m a proud U.S citizen and I’ve been here for 20 years.

        I am proud of every word i uttered and have no reason to be ashamed….shame on you who denies his country of origin Lebanon and calls it a shitland…i really doubt you are lebanese and i really doubt you have a phd in cancer research…..how many CA tumor markers are there and for what tumors are they used? CEA alpha fetoprotein and Beta HCG….what tumor markers are they??? use google
        if u have wrong answers you would have confirmed what i am almost sure of that you hold no phd and that you were never lebanese

          I dont care if you are a cancer phd or not, i am trying to prove you are lying and thank you for proving that. i dont need to google in order to know the different types of CA markers… you thought CA stands for cancer…not at all…CA is a series of markers
          CA19-9 is a marker for pancreatic cancer, CA125 for ovaries and breast…see sir, you are as much of a cancer specialist as i speak chinese…same to your lebanese belonging…many palestinian refugees claim to be lebanese…many syrian refugees too……as well as others…some egyptian moroccan syrian…restaurants put lebanese restaurants because lebanese is something that people are proud of unlike the others….one question sir….you said Lebanon gave you nothing, what did you give to Lebanon?  
          PS Lebanon gave me a lot…least the fact being proud lebanese

    Well, it’s only ‘self-preservation’, when Syria’s regime falls, there’ll be only Iran-away for the hezbians to hide in, and that for only a short time.  ‘Street-turds’ beware, lists of names are being kept!
