Phares to Al Hadath: Trump Administration should engage in Libya
Dr. Phares told Al Hadath TV that the Trump Administration has to engage in Libya diplomatically because of two sets of reasons.
One, its allies are on both sides of the fight. NATO member Turkey and US partner Qatar backs the Tripoli Government, which is under Ikhwan militias influence. On the other hand, NATO member Greece and US allies Egypt and the UAE back the LNA and the Parliament, both anti-Jihadist.
However the second batch of reasons is even more serious. More than ten thousand Jihadists have been transferred by Turkey to Libya to fight the LNA. These forces, connected to al Qaeda and to ISIS may expand across the Sahel and try to infiltrate Europe. This is a red line for the US and Europe. And as dangerous is the possibility that hundreds of thousands of refugees could be transferred from Turkey to the coast between Tripoli and Tunisia border and launched from there into Europe across the Mediterranean. Neither Trump or Macron can afford this politically.

Al Hadath Interview: US action about Iran convoy is about status quo
In an interview with Al Hadath TV, Dr. Walid Phares said the Iranian and Venezuelan regimes have planned to drag the US in a conflict on two fronts, one in the Gulf and one in the Caribbean. Hence the Trump Administration has to decide if it takes the bait and engage in two clashes at the same time, during a COVID-19 and election period, or it should it respond in a different manner. Washington will have to make that call.
Phares said all the rumors spread in the region about a US Iran deal over Iraq or other countries are part of the Iran regime propaganda that is trying to reassure its own allies that Tehran has multiple cards it is playing while also trying to demoralize its regional opponents by projecting the image of an Iran capable of cutting deals over their heads with the US.
All that is propaganda.
