Iran, Hezbollah chiefs to make joint appearance in Lebanon

Share:

Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who will be visiting Southern Lebanon next week, will appear at a rally side by side with Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah next week at the Al-Raya stadium organized by Hezbollah for the Iranian leader’s visit to Lebanon, a Hezbollah official said on Thursday.

The Al-Raya stadium is located in Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut. The facility and the immediate surrounding area can hold some 40,000 people, according to Hezbollah.

“We are organizing a rally in honor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next Wednesday at the Al-Raya stadium and we expect Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to make an appearance,” the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Agence France Presse.

It is unclear, however, whether Nasrallah would appear in person or via video link as is usually the case for security reasons. Except for a brief appearance in July 2008, Nasrallah has been hiding since the July 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.

Ahmadinejad’s official visit to Lebanon from October 13-14 is reportedly eagerly anticipated by Hezbollah, which is planning to give him a warm welcome as well as a tour of the southern border region with Israel.

Ahmadinejad has also reportedly told Syrian president Bashar Assad durin his last visit to Damascus that he viewed the entire area of southern Lebanon as Iran’s border with Israel.

The trip has sparked controversy in Lebanon with some members of the March 14 parliamentary majority calling it a provocation.

Hezbollah receives substantial amounts of financial, training, weapons, explosives, political, diplomatic, and organizational aid from Iran .

Hezbollah was established in Lebanon in 1982 by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In its founding statement, Hezbollah declared itself committed to the “creation of an Islamic republic in Lebanon.” Tehran then sent hundreds of clerics and Revolutionary Guards to Lebanon to preach Iranian theology and draft recruits.

    I guess the Israeli spies are still pretty active in Lebanon. Here is an article from Debka as Prophet would like me to publish my source. I am not saying I would believe it but also it sounds pretty credible about the contingent of 2500 iranian guards who are in lebanon to protect their fake and false president. If this is really true, then I consider it a total disrespect to the lebanese people and gov’t of course. If he didn’t feel safe without these thugs protecting him, then he shouldn’t have bothered to come to lebanon. Besides who are they to be all over the country and running it as if its part of Tehran? I guess its okay for hezbollah to do that. Well its not okay with us damn it. Please if interested here is the article..
    Fred Hof, the US diplomat said to have excellent connections in Damascus, is due in Beirut Thursday, Oct. 7, secretly assigned by the White House to try and get Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to Lebanon cancelled. debkafile’s Middle East sources say he comes too late. Already, hectic preparations for the Oct.13-14 visit have advanced to the point that Beirut and South Lebanon up to the Israeli border have been taken over. It is now a virtual Ahmadinejad-land controlled by an estimated 2,500 members of the Revolutionary Guards special security unit who were imported for the occasion.
    They were carried from Tehran by special airlift to Damascus whence a convoy of buses drove them to Beirut and then dispersed them across the Lebanese capital and the South.

    debkafile’s military sources say that it is the largest contingent of IRGC special forces ever deployed outside Iran. Gen. Qasim Sulaimani, commander of the Al Qods Brigades (which is responsible for the IRGC’s external terrorist operations) arrived in Lebanon secretly to take charge of the security preparations for the visit. Wafiq Safa, head of Hizballah’ Special Security unit is acting as his deputy with 5,000 Hizballah commando fighters under his command.
    Wednesday, Oct. 6, the entire Hizballah militia and its intelligence and security arms were on the highest level of the preparedness as the last arrangements for the Iranian president’s visit were put in place.

    The event’s high point, our sources report, will be the joint appearance of Ahmadinejad and Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah, in his first public appearance in the flesh in the four years since he fled to a Beirut bunker after the 2006 war with Israel. It will also be his first visit to South Lebanon, where he will see every village, public building, road junction, highway and even one of the UN peacekeepers’ posts already plastered with Iranian flags.

    At Maron al-Ras, the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the 2006 war, a gigantic replica of the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem has been erected to symbolically mark Ahmadinejad’s visit to Lebanon as a step closer toward the “liberation” of Temple Mount from Israel.

    And at Fatma Gate facing Israel’s northernmost town of Metulla, a platform has been placed in position for the Iranian president and Hizballah leader to throw rocks across the border at the Israeli population and the IDF units guarding it. They plan to enlist thousands of Lebanese villagers to stand at the border fence and join in the stone-throwing spectacle.

    What would happen if our president, President Suleiman, received the same treatment and criticism from Iranian politicians, as the ones, President Ahmedinajad is receiving from some of March 14 clowns?
    Wouldn’t everyone feel insulted? Wouldn’t they, rightly so, jump the gun in defense of the integrity and honor of our nation, and its president.
    Yes, some March 14 clowns are being disrespectful to a visiting president of a friendly country, who had been invited by our own president. It’s an insult to our president as well. It’s against any diplomatic and cultural tradition to insult and criticize those visiting in response to an official invitation by our officials. It becomes shameful when the guest is a head of state of a friendly state, which had been very supportive of our country. Iran had offered lots of support to Lebanon. It already has spent millions of dollars on construction projects all over the country. It continues to offer help and expertise to solve the power shortage. It has on many occasions offered to Aram our army when other friendly countries refuse to do so.
    It’s the same clowns who received (and blew kisses at) Condie Rice in 2006, when the Israeli shells were falling on their own people in the Bekaa, south, and the southern suburbs of Beirut… They are the same “Patriotic clowns” who, in 2006, had asked the American Ambassador that, the shelling of Lebanese cities and villages, and the killing of Lebanese civilians, continue until the resistance is totally defeated. Never mind that the government had approved the resistance as a legitimate form of defense.
    Unless, they don’t consider those victims as their own people, then one can understand why the same people who honored John Bolton, the biggest supporter of Israel, and the biggest hater of Arabs and Muslims, are now opposing the visit of Iran’s president to Lebanon.
    No one is asking them to support or agree with The president of Iran, nor is anyone is asking them to support Iran’s policy. All one can ask, is to show some respect and, be a good host.
    For God’s sake, some are still proud of hosting Ariel Sharon- who made a courier in killing Lebanese and Palestinian children- the biggest criminal since Adolf Hitler .Can’t they bring themselves to be respectful host to a president of a friendly country?
    It seems that ,for many March 14 clowns, Integrity and sovereignty can be compromised and sold out( in the case of Bolton and Condy rice, or allowed to be raped( in the case of Israel).

    When it comes to foreign leaders visiting Lebanon, Some Lebanese ,and especially March 14 clowns, feel they have the right to be disrespectful to a president of a friendly country. A country which had offered every support our government, asks for. A country has spent millions of dollars constructing roads and other projects all over the country; Projects that our own state neglected for years.

    It’s the same clowns who received (and blew kisses at) Condie Rice in 2006, when the Israeli shells were falling on their own people in the Bekaa, south, and the southern suburbs of Beirut… They are the same “Patriotic clowns” who, in 2006, had asked the American Ambassador that, the shelling of Lebanese cities and villages, and the killing of Lebanese civilians, continue until the resistance is totally defeated.
