A leading member of Hizbullahâs Consultative Council said Thursday he expected Iraq, once its people manage to form a national government of their own, to form a coalition with Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek, who also represents Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Lebanon, welcomed recent demonstrations by Iraqi Shiites against the Anglo-American occupation of their country. âThe Iraqis will manage to run their country and will be the decisive factor in the region,â he said in a speech during a rally held in Baalbek in commemoration of the 40th day since the anniversary of Imam Husseinâs killing. âThis same people will ally Iraq with Lebanon, Syria and Iran in an alliance against US plans for the Middle East.â
| Not if we have anything to say about it... |
He said the expected visit of Iranian President Mohammad Khatami to Lebanon on May 12 âwill be a sign of the Islamic Republicâs support for Lebanon, Syria and the resistance movement.â
| Looks like the new axis is lining up and eying their meat... |
