Lebanese Diplomat Says US Scheming to Establish Dominance Over Lebanon

Adnan Mansour, who served as Lebanon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2011 to 2014, says Washington’s mediation in the conflict in southern Lebanon does not seek to curb Israeli expansionism; rather, the United States has a different goal: to take control of the situation in Lebanon. “Washington seeks to capitalize on Israel’s aggression to establish dominance over Lebanon. The US aims to eliminate the resistance forces led by Hezbollah, which hinder their plans to reshape the Middle East,” Mansour said, reported TASS.
