Iran warns Israel of 'dangerous consequences' of Lebanon strikes

W460

Iran's foreign ministry warned Israel on Monday of "dangerous consequences" following deadly strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon.

Foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani called the Israeli strikes "insane", and warned of "the dangerous consequences of the Zionists' new adventure".

Israel on Monday launched a wave of air strikes targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon, killing at least 182 people including children, according to Lebanon's health ministry.

The attacks mark the largest escalation of violence between Hezbollah and Israel since the war in the Gaza Strip erupted on October 7.

Kanani said Israel's "crimes" in Palestinian territories and their "expansion to Lebanon are a clear example of a serious threat to regional and international peace".

He strongly criticized U.S. support for Israel and called upon the United Nations Security Council "to take immediate action to stop these crimes".

NO ONE BELIEVES HIZBOLLAH LIES Of MUSANADA & PROTECTION while Lebanon is bleeding from its occupation? Hizb does not care about Gaza or Palestinians but like Iran waiting as a vulture to reap war benefits in Arab hegemony & Iran’s NUCLEAR NIRVANA. Hizb/Iran have done nothing to improve Palestinian lives in refugee camps or contributed to UNWRA. Instead it rockets elected Netanyahu. Hizb instead of defending the South it provides an excuse for Israel to invade & annex our land up to Litani. Hizb since killing Hariri, Tueni, Shateh & others is acting as vulture feeding on Lebanon fat reducing prosperous Lebanon to a bankrupt and beggar nation where millions live in misery. No country tolerate a militia created, armed and funded by a foreign nation? Time for our army to wake up and put Hizb leaders in Jail and disarm it to truly liberate the South from the Basij before they turn our land into another Houthi rocket base. Shame on army and corrupt politicians!

Mirror Oh Mirror Did I Offend Anyone Today? Does Everyone Still Like Me? Never has there been a more ineffective army chief, failing miserably at most important role of protecting borders, independence and sovereignty; being subservient to Iran’s Foreign Legion (Hizbollah) & political mafia it controls. In 2019 Lebanese from all regions revolted against political mafia, begging army to take control and allow no arms outside army. Sadly at this historic moment he had army attack demonstrators instead of rotten politicians while spreading red carpet to Hizb to bring more sophisticated arms and create fortified posts throughout Lebanon insuring regional control. Isn’t treason? Today, after Hizb proved it has nothing to do with protecting South, liberating Shebaa or helping Palestinians, but like Houthis transforming South into Iranian rocket base & insuring Lebanon stays a banana republic for total control; where is the army? Army chief cannot be tool of Hizb & political mafia!

Sadly a major factor enabling Hizbollah, Iran’s Foreign Legion, to occupy Lebanon, destroy our institutions and spread misery and despair to million of Lebanese is the incomprehensible collaboration and incompetence of Christian religious leaders. This is even more tragic considering the 2000-year brave history of our church. How can Mutran Aoude allow the poisoning of his community with SSNP. Yes my grandfather and many others saw wisdom in Antoon Saade, but what are today SSNP proud off, the Assad dynasty Butchers of Syria, Syrian Mukhabarat killing Lebanese, or Chartouni the assassin of Bashir? How insulting SSNP name! Aoude and all orthodox mutrans are guilty of collaboration. As to Batrak Rahi, never has been more incompetent leader. Allowing Aoun and Frangieh to sell Lebanon to the Basij for 30 pieces of silver. Not seeing difference between sovereign leaders and traitors. Religious leaders are part of Vichy government. Where is Batrak Sfeir when we needs him!

SERIOUS TALK 20: THE STONE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME CORNERSTONE: Lebanon is key for permanent peace in the Middle East. No other country more important. It alone can make a difference between temporary ceasefire and permanent comprehensive peace, btw bottomless waste of money and regional golden age; btw balance of terror and socio-eco-political interdependency. Permanent peace only possible by deposing the evil trilogy: Hamas/Hizbollah/Netanyahu and rebuilding trust & economic integration that are only security for peace and 2-state solution. Lebanese army after mandate from Cedar Revolution II with Shia participation must disarm Hizbollah & Hamas, thus eliminating Iran’s tentacles & radicals breeding ground. Action coordinated with international plan to depose Netanyahu, demarcate borders, impose 2-state solution & Marshal-type aid package for Gaza/W Bank, Lebanon, Sinai & Jordan to insure prosperous economies, reconstruction & full employment.

SERIOUS TALK 21: WHERE ARE MARTYRS HARIRI & SADR WHEN WE NEED THEM: The 2024 Beirut Peace Plan described above requires the skills of Rafiq Hariri & Imam Saddr. Hariri capitalized on our strengths and diversity making Lebanon the most democratic, free and envy of the Arab world. The 2002 Beirut Arab League Peace Plan setup the principles for regional peace. A regional peace will be the end of the criminal regime in Iran that’s why they were quick to assassinate Hariri followed by assassination and imprisonment of the Leaders of Green Revolution, including past president, intellectuals, and most productive section of the Iranian society. If Imam Saddr was alive in 2010, he no doubt will be a leader of the Green Revolution and assassinated by Basij mercenaries Hizbollah. Urgent to reproduce Hariri & Saddr leadership qualities instead of this political mafia subservient to Iran’s Foreign Legion to become the CORNERSTONE for regional peace.

SERIOUS TALK 22: PERFECT TIMING: Evil trilogy is exposed. Over half US Jewish students say Netanyahu committed war crimes and favor 2-state solution. Zero sympathy for racist settlers. Hizbollah exposed as Iran’s mercenaries & foreign legion like Houthis, destroying economy to make Lebanon a Banana Republic & Basij rocket base since long range missiles & drones are easy target. Despot Hamas leaders are exposed as war mongers sacrificing their own people for power & riches, rejected by more & more Palestinians. Not to mention Arab, Europe and US leaders profusely hate this evil trilogy. As to the vultures of Tehran, they have zero friends, viewed as Great Satan by Iranian diaspora & surviving by blackmailing other countries. No better time to get rid of this evil trilogy with Lebanon neutralizing 2 out of 3 as no other country allows armed Hamas or militias. Without arms & camps, Hizbollah & Hamas will wither away if not hanged by their million victims.

SERIOUS TALK 23: WHAT PERMANENT PEACE IS WORTH: Ukraine War cost is already in hundreds of billion with a million victims. Hamas/Israel war direct and indirect cost is also in the hundreds of billion. Conflict can torpedo Gulf nations 2030 economic visions that depend on peace, tourism, economic outlook & credit rating; causing hundreds of billion in failed investments. UNWRA, UNIFIL, aid grants & reconstruction cost are more wasted billions. Therefore a $200 billion Marshall Plan package paid by the world community for permanent Arab-Palestinian-Israeli peace is the best investment the world can make; restoring sanity & significantly cheaper than future wars, misery, radicalism and illegal immigration. It is also a prelude to Saudi and other Arab peace accords; leaving Iran as the emperor with no cloth about to be deposed by oppressed Iranians. Lebanon deserves at least $70 billion grant package restoring its soul, culture, meaningful jobs & leading role in the region.

Palestinian-Israeli peace accord was almost signed in 2000 leading to two state solutions until Arafat got cold feet. Since then Hizbollah & Hamas Iranian rockets were the main reason Netanyahu won close elections for 2 decades. Any idiot knows 2-state solution is impossible with Iranian rockets in Hamas & Hizb hands. Nassrallah & Netanyahu are 2 sides of the same coin. Same message of hate & destruction. Depending on each other to stay in power and prevent 2-state solution while bringing misery to Palestinians. As to Bassil, Aoun and Frangieh they are the Disposable Useful Idiots that sold Lebanon freedom and independence to the Basij for 30 pieces of silver. Aoun attacking LF pretending to restore sovereignty but spreading the red carpet to Hizb Iranian's militia digging rocket caves throughout Lebanon make him a war criminal. God save Lebanon from these criminals and young brave Shia from indoctrination into culture of death and hate!

Just listened to a pathetic interview between Macel Ghanem and Jumblat. Marcel whose program give voice & respect to criminal occupier from Hizbollah to Baathists. Marcel who never did a show Hariri assassination impacts on current situation, invite political expert to show Lebanon place and trajectory before and after Hizb assassinations, invite economic experts using risk analysis to compare Lebanon economic trajectory and potential with and without Hizb occupation; invite financial experts to explain why instead of becoming the region’s Singapore we ended up bankrupt a beggar nation swimming in deficit and worthless lira … And Jumblat that has turned from Cedar Revolution Eagle to Hizbollah Trojan Horse. Dean of political mafia, friend of Frangieh another Trojan Horse for Assad and Hizb. Jumblat antenna are rusted. Druze and Christians have joint destiny resting on freedom and democracy not Faustian deals with HizbIran. Time to free the South!
