Debkafile: Lebanon Army Will Use Iranian Weapons in Next Encounter with “Israel”
The "Israeli" Internet site Debkafile quoted Monday "a report by weapons inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency last week" saying that "Iran has crossed the critical nuclear threshold taking it nearer to being able to arm ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads."
The Debkafile report said "when this finding failed to elicit any response from the US or "Israel", debkafile's military sources report, NATO secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen hurried over to Washington Sunday, Sept. 12 with a call to action for President Barack Obama: Based on their (Iranian) public statements we know that Iran already has missiles with a range sufficient to hit targets in Europe, and they don't hide the fact that they want to further develop their capability."
According to the report, Rasmussen came away with a pledge of 200 million Euros to create a missile shield for Europe against the Iranian threat."
"While even Europe has roused itself to the menace from Iran, the fast encroaching threat to "Israel" remains unaddressed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and defense minister Ehud Barak. They appear unmoved even in the face of the coming visit to Lebanon on Oct. 13-14 by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He is coming specifically to clinch Iran's grip on Lebanon and its buildup as Iran's forward front for retaliation should "Israel" venture to strike its nuclear facilities," the report said.
"This buildup crossed every possible red line some time ago without an "Israeli" response. The Iranian president will exploit this vacuum by paying a visit to the South Lebanese-"Israeli" border village of Odeisseh, from which on Aug. 3, Lebanese army sniper soldiers were put up by Hizbullah to ambush "Israeli" troops and shoot dead Col. Dov Harari," It added.
Moreover, Debkafile reported that "Lebanese President Gen. Michel Suleiman phoned Ahmadinejad Sept. 11 to say that the Lebanese people was "eagerly awaiting" his coming and stress that henceforth the Lebanese national army would fight "Israel" shoulder to shoulder with its comrades in Hizbullah."
The report reflected distraught in "Israel" at the mere possibility of Suleiman or Army Chief Jean Qahwaji, or even Hizbullah's S.G. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah accompanying Ahmadinejad on his "symbolic" visit to south Lebanon.
"This decision matters greatly. The "Israeli" government's silence with regard to the provocative nature of the event matters even more.
Tehran will be using it to uphold the Lebanese army's "heroic act" in attacking "Israel". It will be welcomed as an honored member of the Iranian-Syrian-Palestinian "resistance front" against "Israel" alongside Hizbullah. Ahmadiinejad is planning to use his visit to celebrate an Iranian-Lebanese defense pact coupled with a large-scale transaction to supply the Lebanese armed forces with the weapons needed to take on the IDF. These deals will kick off the merger and standardization of Lebanese and Hizbullah weapons systems. The next time Lebanese troops attack "Israel" they are likely to be using Iranian arms," the Debkafile report concluded.
