يشهد لبنان موجة نزوح جديدة للشيعة باتجاه سوريا والعراق هربًا من الأزمة الاقتصادية. رغم اعتقادهم أن النزوح مؤقت، اصطدمت الأسر بارتفاع الإيجارات في دمشق وصعوبة التأقلم. بعضهم توجه إلى دير الزور تحت حماية حزب الله، بينما خصصت ميليشيات عراقية في ديالى شققًا ومساعدات للأسر النازحة.

يشير التقرير إلى أن هذه التحركات قد تعيد تشكيل النفوذ في المنطقة، مع احتمال قيام نظام شيعي يمتد من العراق إلى سوريا، مما يعزز التحولات الديموغرافية والسياسية في الشرق الأوسط.

Is Iranian Revenge Real or Just Noise?

The United States understood Iran’s message and prepared 1500 soldiers for training in Texas, in preparation for sending them to Iraq and Syria to enhance the American presence in a region filled with events and disturbances. On January 17, 2024, the Houthi group (SDGT) was included in the terrorism lists, after the US Treasury had removed this classification from them on February 12, 2021. This indicates that the Biden administration intersects with the new Republican hawks represented by figures like Joel D. Rayburn when it comes to US national security. Undoubtedly, this action will have an impact on many decisions of the White House and the Democratic Party administration before the start of the US elections in November 2024.
