Iran Sees Different Futures for Middle East

This week in Syria, Iranian President huddled in a face to face meetings with the leaders of 3 of his mercenary militias, Hassan Nassrallah, the Lebanese stooge; Khaled Michel, his Palestinian underling and Bashar al-Assad, his Syrian lackey to chart the future of Middle East in his messianic image. The mullahs are both the chief ideologues of the Islamic Revolution they are obligated to spread according to the IR's Constitution and are also its main financier (Arms supplier). Here are some highlights of what transpired in those meeting from a piece from WaPo:

After bilateral talks, Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad vowed to deepen their alliance and warned Western powers to stand back. "The enemies of the region should abandon plans to attack the interests of this region, or they will be burned by the wrath of the region's people," Ahmadinejad said at a joint news conference. He described ties with Syria as "progressing daily" and "in every field and along all lines."
Assad said Ahmadinejad's visit took on special importance, given the "circumstances changing rapidly" in the region, reflecting the polarization pitting pro-Western governments against hard-line or Islamic parties.

Ahmadinejad met separately with Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah, who made a rare trip out of Lebanon since he became a target during the Islamic movement's month-long war with Israel last year. Iran provided the rockets and missiles that have made Hezbollah the most powerful nongovernment armed force in the region, capable of waging the longest war Israel has fought. U.S. officials have expressed increasing concerns about the flow of arms back into Lebanon.

Asked at the news conference if he expects another "hot summer," Ahmadinejad said, "We hope that the hot weather of this summer would coincide with similar victories for the region's peoples and with consequent defeat for the region's enemies."

On his one-day visit, the Iranian leader also met with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal. Iran provides financial aid and arms to the Islamic party, which won democratic elections in the Palestinian Authority 18 months ago. A senior Hamas spokesman said Ahmadinejad promised continued support for the movement, which wrested control of Gaza last month in a bloody five-day purge of security forces loyal to Abbas.

Teheran has been playing the West for fools for far too long, using proxy fighters in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine to distract the world from its continuing pursuit of nuclear weapons. It would be a foolish mistake to think that their target is just the West. They aim to subvert and take over any government with a moderate form of Islam in the region and they have been crystal clear about it all along. Iranian proxy groups are spreading like a fungus all over the Islamic world, from last week's attack on Pakistan's Red Mosque in Islamabad, to fighting in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and Gaza. Their next targets: Saudi Arabia? Bahrain? Yemen?
