2024-12-10 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Abu Mohammad al-Jolani's victory speech from Umayyad Mosque 9 December
[CNN] "This victory, my brothers, by the grace of God Almighty (follows) the sacrifices of the martyrs, the widows, and the orphans. This victory, my brothers, has come through the suffering of those who endured imprisonment...This new triumph, my brothers, marks a new chapter in the history of the region, a history fraught with dangers (that left) Syria as a playground for Iranian ambitions, spreading sectarianism, stirring corruption...."
Iranian ambitions? Oh dear.
It is no surprise that the Islamist rebel chose Damascus’s venerated Umayyad Mosque – not a TV studio, nor newly absented presidential palace, but a place of towering religious significance, which at 1,300 years old is one of the world’s most ancient mosques – to deliver that message.

3  But..."Muslims do not drink alcohol because it is considered haram, or forbidden, in Islam. The Quran, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, and other Islamic teachings prohibit alcohol for a number of reasons"...

4 The alcohol in the Hezbollah warehouse was probably used as a form of currency where people didn't want to take syrian pounds or Iranian rials for example.
