Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iranian FM calls for immediate cease fire
2006-08-01
Iran's foreign minister on Monday called for an immediate cease-fire to the Israeli-Hizbullah fighting and criticized the UN Security Council's failure to stop the crisis. Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki spoke after holding talks with his Lebanese counterpart in Beirut in the first visit by an Iranian official to war-torn Lebanon since fighting broke out between Israel and Hizbullah guerrillas nearly three weeks ago. Mottaki arrived over land from neighboring Syria, border officials said. It was not immediately known if he planned to meet Hizbullah's leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah as he traditionally has done on past visits to Lebanon.

#3  Israel's Ambassador to the UN reminded the Fox audience that both SYRIA + even IRAN DO NOT NOTICE ANY BORDER BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THEIR NATIONS AND ISRAEL. Simply verifies, however imperfect or subjective, that Lebanon is viewed as Syria + Iran as the same's sovereign territory > also same as saying Syrian andor Iranian Shia territory, since Shia Muslims govern both nations. Within this narrow context/scope, LEBANON = BERUIT > controlled from either DAMASCUS vs. TEHRAN - QUESTION IS WHETHER BERUIT CAN BE CONTROLLED FROM TWO CAPITAL CITIES, OR JUST ONE??? KEEP BUYING THAT POPCORN. IFF IRAN RECOGNIZES NO BORDERS BTWN IT AND LEBANON, IMPLIES PART OF JORDAN IS ALSO IRANIAN TERRITORY, BESIDES OF COURSE SYRIA.
Move along, boyz, obviously no Radical Iranian empire, or design for empire, here - Lebanese Muslims or Other are now Syrians or Iranians, with "Syrian" = "Syrian" but "Syrian" also meaning "Iranian", as "Jordanian" also means "Iranian".
