❗️US envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Turkiye Tom Barrack, who warned that Lebanon will become a part of Greater Syria if it does not submit to US demands, chief among them Hezbollah's disarmament, now claims he was only "praising Syria's impressive strides" and not threatening Lebanon.

"I can assure that Syria’s leaders only want co-existence and mutual prosperity with Lebanon, and the United States is committed to supporting that relationship between two equal and sovereign neighbors enjoying peace and prosperity."
