Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday the U.S. military in the Middle East would pay the price for the killing of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, warning that U.S. soldiers and officers would return home in coffins.
In a speech marking the death of Soleimani and a top Iraqi militia commander in a targeted U.S. air strike, Nasrallah said responding to the killing was not only Iran’s responsibility but the responsibility of its allies too.
Of course, Iran's mullahs are doing the twisting. So naturally Nasrallah said that. When Iran tells Hezbollah to jump, Nasrallah only asks "how high?"
The Iranians admitted as much:
With telling embarrassment, Iran is rowing back comments made by an adviser to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The problem? The adviser inadvertently admitted that Iran values Lebanon only as its puppet.
Speaking on Monday, retired Gen. Morteza Qorbani told an Iranian news outlet that Iran did not need to use ballistic missiles in Iran to effectively attack Israel. Instead, Qorbani said, if "the Zionist regime makes the smallest mistake toward Iran, we will reduce Tel Aviv to ashes from Lebanon."
That sparked quick pushback in Lebanon, even from Iran's allies there.
And the thousands of men Hezbollah lost in Syria (three years ago the KIA tally stood at 2,000) fighting for Assad on Iran's orders proves their status as Iran's cannon fodder.
Honestly, when will Arabs stop cooperating with Persian Iran's strategy of fighting its enemies to the last dead Arab?
