Lebanese Parliament speaker says Iran, Hezbollah to remain in Syria till it’s ‘liberated’

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri says Iranian and Hezbollah forces will not withdraw from Syria until the country is “liberated” and its “territorial integrity is restored,” Russia’s RIA news agency reports.

Berri is seen to have close ties to the Lebanese terror group, which is fighting in Syria on behalf of dictator Bashar Assad.

Both the US and Israel have demanded that Iran and its Shiite proxy militias entirely withdraw from Syria.
