Lebanese Prime Minister: Iran Is Using Hezbollah to Control LebanonTerrorism 13 November 2017

Iran Focus
London, 13 Nov - The Iranian Regime is using its terrorist proxy Hezbollah to control Lebanon through destabilisation, according to the recently resigned prime minister, Saad Hariri.
In an emotional TV interview on Sunday night, Hariri said: “I am not against Hezbollah as a political party but it should not be the cause of the destruction of Lebanon.”
He resigned on November 4, in a live conference from Riyadh, because of Iran’s malign influence in Lebanon, stating that he feared that he would be assassinated by Iran and Hezbollah, as his father, Rafiq Hariri, was in 2005.
During the interview, Hariri said that he may withdraw his resignation in Hezbollah agreed to abide by Lebanon’s policy of staying out of regional conflicts. He hoped this would act as a wake-up call for Lebanon about the grave danger it faces from Iran.He said: “Iran must stop meddling in the affairs of Arab countries and we refuse to be taken by Iran to an axis against Arab countries. I will not be drawn to building relations with the Syrian regime, which does not want me. Things have to be straightened out to keep Lebanon away from regional conflicts.”

Hariri rejected claims that his hand was forced by Saudi Arabia or being held against his will, noting that the Saudi King had treated him like a son. Last week, his office dismissed these claims as lies by the Iranian Regime to discredit the Kingdom. He said that he would return to Lebanon shortly.

Hariri said: “I am free to travel- tomorrow if I want to. I will be back in Lebanon in a few days. I don’t care about my life — what matters to me is that Lebanon stays safe.”

He also said that Saudi Arabia had helped rebuild Lebanon following the 2006 war with Israel and so Lebanese security was important to them.

Hariri said: “Lebanon is a small country and it needs to be nonaligned, and Saudi Arabia always demands the best for Lebanon and stresses the importance of distancing itself. What would happen to 400,000 Lebanese in the Gulf if we join an axis?”

Iran’s destabilisation of the Middle East- and Lebanon in particular- is part of their plan to build a Shiite Crescent from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean which would more easily allow them to transport weapons, money, and fighters to terrorist groups across the region. This is the same tactic they are following in Iraq and Syria. They need to be stopped before their objective is reached.

French FM Visits Iran to Talk Ballistic Missiles and Syria05 March 2018 Iran Focus London, 05 Mar - The French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, has arrived in Iran to talk with the country's president Hassan Rouhani, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and the Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, according to Iranian state TV. Talks are expected to focus on Iran’s involvement in the Syrian Civil war and Iran's ballistic missile program, which both Le Drian and French President Emmanuel Macron have criticized Iran's missile program in recent weeks, with Le Drian stating that Iran's ballistic missile capacity worried France “enormously". In response to Iranian claims that their ballistic missile program is peaceful, Le Drian said: "Having such tools is not uniquely defensive, given the distance they can reach." The French Foreign Ministry even issued a statement ahead of the trip, which said Le Drian ...

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...
