#LEBAON #BEIRUT #CORONAVIRUS #LOCKDOWN

Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Dian announced on Tuesday that the country will go in a total lockdown as of Saturday November 14 until Sunday, November 29.
“If the Lebanese people abide by the measures, and we succeed in containing the virus by reducing the number of cases, then we will have saved the people, and maybe saved the economy before the holidays,”
Diab said following a meeting for the Supreme Defense Council at the Baabda Presidential Palace.

While #Lebanon is without electricity and fuel, #US Sec Mike Pompeo said: "The US is trying to prevent Iran from selling crude oil to #Hezbollah", claiming that "Washington is supporting Lebanon to be a country that is not subordinate to the Islamic Republic." Image
In reality, the #US is not supporting #Lebanon in its severe financial crisis. It prevents Gulf & European countries from supporting Lebanon unless the government submits to the US hegemony.

The US is also putting pressure to prevent any rapprochement between Lebanon and #China.
The #US is losing more ground because people won't starve and won't be able to turn against #Hezbollah because the source of corruption emanates from all US allies who govern Lebanon for decades.

A small window on #Iraq:
Sources in #Baghdad said PM Kadhemi made a mistake by listening to "advisors" pushing him to arrest Kataeb Hezbollah Iraq. Once arrested these advisors greeted him and told him he'll be a Hero of Iraq. Now the same advisors are quite after this fiasco.
Iraqi Justice released Kataeb Hezbollah #Iraq (KHI) coz nothing indicated they were planning to launch rockets on (US) objectives in the "green zone" as Kadhemi was informed before sending a Counterterrorism unit to arrest KHI.

(KHI group released standing on Kadhemi portrait).
Contacts between #Iraq, #Lebanon and #Iran helped to de-escalate the tension between KHI and PM Kadhemi.

The Iraqi PM has lost a lot of credit in this failed operation (not among #US warmonger so-called experts). It will affect his future as a PM.
