Iran Blasts Beirut Bombings, Blames Israeli 'Agents'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iran's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned a double suicide car bombing near an Iranian cultural center in Beirut, blaming Israeli "agents" for the attack that left four people dead.
"There is no doubt that perpetrators of this terrorist act are the enemies of stability, security and unity of Lebanon," ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said in a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency.
"(They) are agents of the Zionist (Israeli) regime who have been frustrated by the formation of a new government that includes all parties and tribes in Lebanon," she added.
At least four people were killed in Wednesday's bombings that also wounded at least 100 others.
IRNA earlier reported that the blast took place near its office in Beirut, as well as that of the state broadcaster IRIB.
The Beirut attack -- linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria whose regime is fiercely supported by Tehran -- was quickly claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a jihadist group inspired by al-Qaida.
The group had previously claimed an attack against Iran's embassy in Beirut, located in a southern stronghold of the Tehran-backed Hizbullah.
Hizbullah is fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops against Sunni-led rebels.

I don't get Iran and Nasrallah... Al Qaeda claims the bomb yet they insist on blaming "israel" ???
How brainwashed are their sheep to believe them ???
You will blame all the misery in the world on the only two words you have learned : ISRAEL / TAKFIRI ...
Hezbollah, you have much more ennemies than that because you are a stubborn terrorist organisation who's idea of politics is WEAPONS and WAR and who's idea of achievements is physically eliminating your opponents. Your understanding of democracy is manipulating votes and freedom of speech = freedom to lie to your people without being held accountable for your propaganda!

if so, Hezbollah is an Israeli fabrication to protect Israel from 500k palestinians on the lebanese border.
if so, Takfiris are a Syrian fabrication to discredit and eliminate the legitimate pro-democracy syrian opposition.
PS: Isn't Hezbollah killing Arabs and Muslims ? Last I looked, Takfiris are also arab and muslim no ? Or are they western crusaders ?

they have an ideology that leave no room for respect/understanding/cohabitation/peace. you bend over for them or they kill you. so some people will bend (i understand your choice cedre, i would have done the same if i was a coward) and some people will fight.

so basically, they give themselves the right to declare muslims infidels and kill them. thank you for the clarification, which confirms what i was saying: they are here to kill muslims. tell me that this is not every zionist's wet dream.

"According to the state-run National News Agency, the three detainees have recently headed to Yabrud – Rima Farms and then to Dankuk in Syria where they met with the Emir of the ISIL, who is known as Abou al-Kheir.
The three have reportedly been taught about takfiris, suicide attacks and reasons to consider Shiites, Druze, Christians, Alawites, the Lebanese army, al-Nusra Front and the Free Syrian army as takfiris."

Yes, it is very clear that the lebanese grover-ments always include parties and tribes

@hajhussein: Please, refrain from using insults on this forum. Your anger is understandable but that is no reason to call people names. I am not going to vote you down in the hope that my action will be an incentive for you to improve your online social skills.

Iran Logic-101. This is actually a college course that you man study in Persian colleges. While the U.S. under the Obama Administration has been leading from behind, regimes that were somewhat stable have now fallen, and Israel's comfort level is at lowest, together with Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, etc. This shortsighted Persian is trying to exploit the voids and the cracks left behind from these recent event and force Israel's hand again in a war (just as Iran did in the so called 2006 Israel/Lebanon war) to keep Iran distant from these crisis so they can proceed with their nuclear ambitions and prosperity.

Iran doesn't get it... perhaps to ashamed to admit it, but their fellow Muslim brothers hate them more then Israel- in fact, I don't even hear Muslims talk about Israel anymore, just hate for the Shia/Hezbo/Assad and Iran/.
