this thread was brought back just in time for very important news about iran
and lebanon.stay tuned.
last year saudi with great fanfare announced a $1b military aid
package to lebanon.this was at the height of the saudi support
for the johadist terrorists in syria who were then edging closer
to lebanon's borders.

but everyone with rudimentary understanding of the dynamics in the region knew this will never happen.
neither the u.s. nor the apartheid regime in isreal,the saudis closest allies,would have allowed
any weapons to be given to the lebanese army.this was a way to put pressure on lebanon to reject any
clandestine help from iran.
today after the recent visit of lebanon's defense minister it is iran that is going to give arms to lebanon
and do it openly.the whole idea of the syrian gambit was to prevent iran from having a clandestine supply
route to arm both the resistance forces in lebanon and palestine.but now iran is openly sending arms directly to lebanon.
mission failed by the apartheid regimes in isreal and saudi.

Iran's defense minister said his country is ready to ship defensive materials to Lebanon to aid its army in the fight against Sunni extremists on Monday, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
The report quoted Gen. Hossein Dehghan, speaking at a joint briefing with visiting Lebanese Defense Minister Samir Moqbel, as saying the shipment would help thwart extremists who plan to commit "inhuman crimes" in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
