Major-General Yahya Rahim Safavi, who serves as the top military advisor for Iran’s supreme leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Saturday that if Israel were to attack his country’s nuclear facilities, Hezbollah will retaliate.
Iran’s Maher news agency quoted Safavi as saying that, “If the Zionist regime acts against us one of these days, resistance groups, and mainly Hezbollah, will respond and act against it with great ease.”
“Defending the Palestinian people is within the scope of our strategic defense interests and both Lebanon and Syria fall under our strategic maneuvering zone,” he added.
Also on Saturday, Iranian Chief of Staff General Hassan Firouzabadi commented on the West’s attempts to intervene in the Syrian crisis, saying that the West was “sure to fail in that arena.”
According to Firouzabadi, “Syria will surely become a source of defeat and scandal for the United States and the West, as they race to save the Zionist regime.”
The Iranian general further claimed that the recent series of al-Qaeda terror attacks in Syria were part of the West’s conspiracy against Muslims.
“The international community should know that al-Qaeda and the rest of the (Islamic) radicals have nothing to do with Shiites and Sunnis and that the result of this campaign of terror… will only make things more complicated for the Europeans and the Americans,” he told Iran’s Press TV.
Middle East experts believe that the Iranians are exacerbating their tone vis-à-vis the West in regards to Syria, for fear that their ally’s days are numbered.
Should the Assad regime collapse, the radical axis of Iran-Syria-Hezbollah is likely to suffer a serious blow.

The fate of the world pivots on what happens next with Iran. Should Iran get the bomb, proliferation of atomics will run a muck as more and more nations run to build or buy there own. If Iran is stoped so will proliferations as others see the high price to pay for the effort. The stakes are huge, mankind’s fate hangs in the balance!

For us to understand the present situation on the Iranian front is not easy, considering the massive smoke screen we are facing with. However, some hints even us can catch from the air, for example the new minister of defence position regarding the israeli attack:http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/reshuffling-the-deck-barak-now-opposes-israeli-strike-on-iran-sources-

I even dont want to whisper what one can deduce from this article, so everyone here is free to take a guess.

If Hezbollah is moving its little finger another time, this will be the end of this terror organisation – thats for sure ! ( It will also be a terrible desaster for the state of Lebanon who is harbouring the terrorists). Hezbollah knows that – Lebanon knows that ! Due to their sick, suicidal and inhumane ideology they could anyway start a confrontation with Israel. The good thing of that would be that the world would get rid at least of one terror organisation and its hosts.
