Iran Praises New Lebanon/Syria Diplomatic Ties


Iran is all happy and proud - it's like their two feuding sons have finally buried the hatchet. With new diplomatic ties finalized between Syria and Lebanon, Iran's influence in the Middle East is going to be at an all time high. And although Syria's Assad has been a bit of a renegade at times recently, there still seems to be this father/son mentorship between Iran and Syria.

Here's the details from Breitbart:


Iran welcomed on Friday Syria and Lebanon's establishment of diplomatic ties, the ISNA news agency reported.
"The move contributes to the strengthening of the mutual and historical relations between the two nations that are (Iran's) friends and brothers," foreign ministry spokesman Hossein Ghashghavi was quoted as saying.
On Wednesday, Syria and Lebanon announced establishment of diplomatic ties for the first time since they became independent 60 years ago. The two neighbours are set to open embassies in each other's capitals before the end of the year.


Now, none of this diplomacy would have happened if it weren't for the fact that Lebanon's terrorist group, Hezbollah, hadn't gained a significant political influence in Lebanon and thus as I have predicted, you will see the Lebanese government begin to reflect more and more of Hezbollah's philosophies which of course will include "death to Israel."

Shiite-majority Iran is a staunch supporter of Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah although it denies Western and Israeli charges of providing military backing to the militant group.
Tehran also has an alliance with Damascus stretching back more than three decades, which was strengthened in 2006 with the signing of a military cooperation agreement.
