"Hezbollah's timing is no accident"...
The above quote is from the economist.com (July 13, 2006) article titled, "A crisis widens", referring to the unprovoked attack on Isreal by the Hezbollah and Israel's military attacks on Lebanon. Two Israeli soldiers were taken hostage and several others were killed. A rising score of civilans and combatants have died in Israeli bombings.
The day before the hostage-taking by the Hezbollah, the Iranian mullahs' chief nuclear negotiator, Larijani met with EU's representative, Solana, to deliver the news that Iran would not have a response to EU+US offer of nuclear inducement (see previous posts). Iran's henchman, the mullahs' president, said, "our answer to the P5+1 package is clear, the Iranian nation abides by international laws and regulations but will not abandon its obvious right to obtain nuclear technology," . Yesterday (July 12), the UNSC permanent 5 + 1 Germany asked the Security Council to intervene and enact sanctions against the mullahs (Reuters).
It may come, to some, as coincidence that Iran is referred to the UNSC and on the same day its proxy shock organization in Lebanon, the Hezbollah, enters a campaign against Israel. It is plausible to contemplate that the Israeli soldiers in the hands of the Hezbollah may find their way to Tehran- remember Hezbollah and mullahs hostage takings in the 1980's. The creator of the Hezbollah and its idealogical benefactor and chief financier is the theocratic regime in Iran.
Past actions by the Iranian mullahs have demonstrated time and again that this is a regime intend and dependent on instability and coersion. In 1982, it created the Hezbollah in Lebanon as a counterweight to Israel and the US and for eventual control in Lebanon. The October 1983 destruction of the marine barrack in Beirut was orchesterated and financied by the mullahs and carried out by a Hezbollah suicide bomber. The many western hostages that were taken on the orders from Tehran became innocent paws in the Iran-Contra debacle, in which the prime beneficiary was the Iranian regime and the prime victimes the hostages and the Iranian people.
This time around, the Iranian mullahs will try to use the middle east imbalances and the inaction by the western powers to exact huge benefits for themselves. Let us hope that the Iranian people are not losers again.
