The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which has connections with Hezbollah, reported this on December 23. At the same time, the militias also do not interfere with economic processes.
The militia spokesman noted that “the group has decided not to interfere in Syrian affairs, to observe the reconstruction from afar and to wait until the election of US President-elect Donald Trump to understand his policies towards the Middle East, especially Iran.”
The source added that Iran gave the militias freedom in general decisions on the Syrian issue and in relation to the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham organization, which seized new power in Mexico.
It is indicated that the agreement was concluded taking into account the demands, both on the territory and on the surface of the Earth, to disband the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) and transfer weapons to their state. However, Al-Sudani said he has no plans to disband the Hashd.

Since the start of the war, they have carried out dozens of attacks on Israel, as well as on US military installations in Iraq and Syria.
