US Threat to Syria: Hizbullah is the Target

Everybody expects a US-Western strike on Syria, everyone awaits that unknown time. Everyone realizes that Syria has become a target to the new US-Western aggression on the region.

Following the Afghanistan's Taliban, and Iraq's Saddam Hussein, today it is Syria, the state of resistance and defiance. This does not imply that Afghanistan was embodied by the Taliban or Iraq by Saddam; it rather means that Taliban, outcast on the Arab and international levels, and Saddam, were the declared target of the aggression.

As for Syria, it stands as Syria the axis in the region, Syria, the state of resistance and the heart of a major coalition in face of the powers of evil. Just like the case has always been, an aggression has declared goals that divert attention from the real objectives.

Undoubtedly; no rational human believes that the US ‘zealous concern' which stood behind the death of hundreds of thousands over the years, if not more than that, has erupted today due to the chemical attack claimed to have been launched by the Syrian government. This government [accused of the attack] has been eliminating the Takfiri groups and the terrorist armed groups run by the US and its diabolic axis. It has been tearing down these groups that resorted to the use of chemical weapons provided by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others.

[The terrorist groups] pitched the weapons to the terrorist-controlled areas where regime forces had advanced; hence a huge number of innocent civilians fell victims and the regime forces halted their major advance.
Did the major number [of victims] move the United States, which since the establishment of the usurper [Israeli] entity and up-to-date has been fighting our countries?!

So far, more than one hundred thousand people, mostly civilians have been killed in Syria. Why did this devilish concern arise now in particular? The answer to this question is: we should quest into the real reason behind such a major aggression that targets the entire region.

People have to know well that the Syrian regime had lost control over many strategic regions if it were not for the Russians and Iranians, and the Lebanese Hizbullah who stood by the regime. We would have been living in a new Middle East, a version amended to that made earlier by [US Former Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice.

The main point is this: the great role the [Islamic] Resistance played in changing the current events, not only in the Qusayr battle, but also before and after that phase. The Hizbullah forces overwhelmingly changed the balance of powers. I recall the legendary steadfast in Aleppo's Ming airport, the unwavering guard of crucial areas and quarters in Aleppo, its role in the Lattakia suburbs battles, reaching the most important of all; the ‘Shield of the Capital' battle which came in response to the terrorist explosions that targeted Beirut's Dahiyeh and the Hizbullah nurturing environment in Lebanon. Also, I recall the promises of [Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence] Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah when he vowed "if we have 5,000 fighters in Syria, they will become 10,000".

Indeed, a major operation was planned to retrieve all the areas surrounding the Syrian capital, in the Eastern and Western Ghouta. By that, armed terrorists strategic presence is limited to Aleppo and some other areas, while the heart of the country, the capital remains safe.

More astonishing, is that such a huge operation [the ‘Shield of the Capital' op.] considered as more important than the Qusayr ops, remained in secrecy until execution, and did not occupy the media like the Qusayr op did. Such was the reason behind the success and advancement of the regime forces, and suddenly attacking the armed terrorists.

The Bandar forces and US puppets collapsed, and there was no way out other than the scenario we saw: a chemical attack on the children and women, then accusing the regime of committing the act, even though it is strong and does not need to resort such attitude.

War drums rumbled, the drive is to discipline the regime. But the mere truth is that this aggression targets those who changed the balance equation in the region in an aim of achieving what they call "retrieving balance" and revive the Geneva II conference.

The target is Hizbullah.

The equation is simple: if you are able to destroy this power, the [Syrian] regime will have no backbone to support it anymore, therefore the [US-Western] controls the region and its people. Of course, this does not mean that Cruise missiles will only hit Lebanon, but all the territories of the resistance and defiance that united today. It is likely as well that the war might extend to include the Iranian territories, even the Iraq, and all the Gulf. Simply this war will include all the Middle East or maybe even beyond.

If we look at how world order can change or be threatened due to the huge oil reserve in this particular region, we would see that a fierce world war is possible.
Today, "Israel" is threatened and the Gulf regimes are not safe at the time enormous amounts of oil are discovered in the region, mainly in offshore areas opposite to Palestine and Lebanon, reaching Lattakia.

It is the capitalistic mentality, which implies sending warships, destroyers, warplanes, and submarines to crowd the Mediterranean sea, at the time the flames of war kick off by igniting strife in Syria, which will not end unless after a major destructive war for which the entire human race will pay.
Consequently, the war is coming no doubt. True, the time is still indefinite, which is pretty normal because it is impossible that the resistance axis receives a warning like that Bush Junior sent to Saddam Hussein a couple days before the invasion of Iraq.

The resistance axis is strong, very strong, and requires the other side to resort to the use of surprise, stratagem, mobilization, excessive fire, and more important than all the advance of terrorist armed groups on ground, acting for the US and Western troops.

This comes as the US and its allies clearly understood the words of Qassem Suleimani [the commander of the Quds Force, a division of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], who had addressed the US and Western powers, telling them "each soldier arriving on ground should bring his coffin along with him".

Thus, it is possible for barbaric mobs to substitute them, especially as there are tens of thousands of them, sinking in the dark of strife fed by the US during old and modern times of imperialism.

The war will suddenly start, as [US President Barack] Obama says war might be launched tomorrow, or in a week or even month, or after consulting the Congress and US and European public opinion. These are all tricks and disguise to mislead the time of the strike. This is because aggressors need time, not to change public opinion which is valueless in this equation, but to allow its forces to position correctly.

At zero hour, the major attack begins with Ballistic missiles targeting airports, bases, barracks, and strategic stockpiles for the Syrian army. It is also very possible that the attacks will target Bashar al-Assad himself. Simultaneously, forty thousand armed terrorists who have been well trained by the US forces will advance towards Damascus through Dara'a, another forty thousand will advance from Turkey towards Aleppo, Idlib, and Maybe Lattakia, arriving to the Allawites Mountains.

In Lebanon, one thousand fighters are proven to be located in Arsal, five thousand in Ain al-Helwe and other Palestinian camps.

We shall not forget the illegal child of the adulterous US, by that I mean "Israel", which will intensely repeat the 2006 experience, only this time with the hope of realizing the historic dream of enjoying Western and Takfiri groups' support.
Now we can call this battle al-Ahzab battle [Battle of Confederates/ Battle of the Trench], if these countries were confederates, but they are states. Hence, it is the war of states, the battle of major powers against Syria; yet here Syria is not limited to its territory and people, Syria rather means the alliance confronting the US and the West. It is the Syria of Iran and Hizbullah backed by Russia and China.
I will not say what the scenarios and possibilities are, it is one scenario, the one I mentioned above. It will not be a limited war, nor will it be massive. It is a war that starts with one missile and will not end unless with a change in the Middle East, if not in the entire world order.
