Saudis Issue Warning To Iran For Meddling In Lebanon


So the Sauds are upset about Iran's henchmen, Hezbollah, attempting a coup in Lebanon so the Sauds send a warning message to Iran and boy, I'll bet the Persians are really shaking in their boots! Haha.

Here's what happened according to the article here from Breitbart:


"Of course, Iran is backing what happened in Lebanon, a coup, and supports it," Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal told a news conference in Riyadh, in the most pointed criticism of Tehran. "This will affect (Iran's) relations with all Arab countries, if not Islamic states as well."

So then, Iran's Ahmadinejad got all bent out of shape that anyone, especially a scum-like Arab, would take a shot at his Persia and issued this statement:


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shot back by saying Saud's comments were made in anger and likely did not conform to the views of Saudi King Abdullah. He said Iran was the only country that does not interfere in Lebanon's internal affairs.

The Saudis haven't a clue what to do next for pete's sakes...just six months ago they had Ahmadinejad at Medina walking around the big wheel and had hundreds of Shia Hamas over to receive a bunch of money and now the Saudis are scared shitless that Lebanon will fall to Hezbollah and Egypt will succumb to the Shia reign of terror as well....and then you have that pesky nuclear situation in Iran...it's enough to make the Saudis feel a little parnoid. Good.


Saudis sends sharp warning to Iran over Lebanon

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Saudi Arabia sent Iran a sharp warning over Lebanon Tuesday, saying Tehran's support for Hezbollah will damage its relations with other Muslim and Arab countries.
More soldiers fanned out through Beirut, with orders to use force to restore security to a nation shaken by nearly a week of sectarian clashes. Lebanese buried more of their dead and tried to resume life in a capital dissected by roadblocks.
What began as a political struggle 1 1/2 years ago with Shiite ministers bolting from the Cabinet devolved last week into Lebanon's worst fighting since the end of the 1975-1990 civil war, with at least 54 people dead and scores wounded.
Shiite Hezbollah guerrillas and allied Amal gunmen have swept through large Sunni swaths of Beirut, neighborhoods that support the government of Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, a Sunni.
On Tuesday, the strife between Lebanon's government supporters and opponents expanded into a wider regional standoff between Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia and the world's largest Shiite nation, Iran. Iran supports Hezbollah and Saudi Arabia backs Saniora's Sunni-led government.

Sunni Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt worry that Iran wants to flex its muscle and assume a larger and strategic role in the region—taking power and influence that was historically theirs.
Iran, in turn, accuses U.S.-allied Arab countries like Egypt of merely bending to America's will and pushing its agenda in the region.
The growing tension has wide implications for American and Western goals in the region—with the West generally allied more with the Arab governments and also worried about Iran's intentions.
The same dynamic is playing out over Iraq—which also has been a strong source of discord among Arab countries, who generally support Sunnis there, and Iran, which is closely allied to both the Shiite-led government and to Shiite splinter groups like the Mahdi Army.

this reminds me of last weeks news where Saudi Arabia asked America to attack Iran to stop them from getting the bomb. I think Saudi Arabia is either getting scarred or they want to make some more money off of their oil. I think the US should attack both Iran and Saudi Arabia. I am sick of these terrorist funders getting away with murdering our soldiers and civilians.

Agree with you there avid - the two biggest contributors to the terror in this world and the threat to mankind's demise are the Sauds and the Persians. I too am weary of the death brought on by the minions of Satan. And I am tired of the world looking the other way at the atrocities.
