Report: Qassem fled Lebanon and is now living in Tehran
Where on earth did he get the idea that Tehran is safe??
[NAHARNET] Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
has been residing in Tehran after fleeing Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
on an Iranian plane over two weeks ago, the UAE-based Erem News outlet reported, quoting an anonymous Iranian source.

Qassem reportedly left Beirut on October 5 on the aircraft used by Tehran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for a state visit to Lebanon and Syria. His transfer was ordered by top leaders of the Islamic Theocratic Republic for fear of liquidation by Israel, the source said

Qassem has delivered three speeches since the death of Hezbollah leader Sayyed
...Arabic term meaning your/his lordship. Groveling in His Exalted Presence is encouraged...
His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
. While the first was recorded in Beirut, the second and third were delivered in Tehran, the source said.

#1 He'd be safer in D.C.

Also he could get a lucrative job requiring top security clearance in the Biden/Harris administration.
