PNN – “Foundation for the Defense of Democracies” pointed to the words of the Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah and expressed concern that this movement is trying to create new supply routes.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, referring to the words of “Sheikh Naeem Qassem” who said “We can always find other ways”, this American think tank called these words the first official comment of this group about the consequences of the fall of Bashar Assad’s government.
According to this report, Iran’s route through Syria was disrupted after “Islamist rebels” took control of Damascus on December 8 and the previous Syrian regime was overthrown.

Although this route through Iraq was responsible for providing the needs of Hezbollah, but according to this pro-Zionist think tank, in recent months it has been the target of numerous airstrikes by the Israeli army.
The report of the American think tank stated: Although Hezbollah’s secretary general admitted that his organization had lost “its military supply route through Syria,” he emphasized that Hezbollah is seeking to rebuild these routes through coordination with the Islamist groups now in power in Syria. He said that arms supply routes from Iran through Syria “may return to normal with the new government,” but added that Hezbollah could always look for other routes.
“Joe Terzman”, the senior analyst and editor of the “Long War Journal” magazine, claimed that the targeted bombings of the Zionist regime against Hezbollah’s infrastructure have caused problems for this group on the way to improving the situation.
He emphasizes: Although creating alternative routes is challenging and they are subject to Israeli interception, Hezbollah’s ability to obtain weapons from foreign sources has not yet been lost.
“David Dawood”, a senior member of this institute, also emphasizes that although Naeem Qassem’s confession was a rare move, he clearly showed that this group is looking to establish new relations and rebuild a new path and still has Syria in the center of attention.
