Months after the United States killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, it has offered millions for any details on the mysterious man filling his boots --
Washington charged last week that Kawtharani had"taken over some of the political coordination of Iran-aligned paramilitary groups" formerly organised by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qasem Soleimani.
Keen to curb Iran's influence in Iraq, the United States last week announced the reward of up to $10 million for any details on Kawtharani's activities or associates. The State Department accused him of inheriting part of Soleimani's role coordinating among pro-Tehran factions that have attacked foreign diplomatic missions and"engaged in wide-spread organised criminal activity".
Kawtharani fluently speaks Iraqi dialect, which differs markedly from Lebanese Arabic."He's got a lot of experience and is the only foreigner, after Soleimani, to know the Iraqi political scene inside out," another Hezbollah source said. At the same time, he crafted ties between Iraq and Lebanon, where Hezbollah has strained under financial pressure from US sanctions."Kawtharani held sway over Iraqi politicians -- so much so that he asked for millions of dollars from Iraq last year to solve Lebanon's financial crisis," a diplomatic source told AFP.
