Iran is threatening to strike the U.S. with "stronger punches" while Hezbollah vows it is ready to become "dismembered limbs to keep Iran strong and dignified." This will likely leave Lebanon in the crossfire.The Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Gen. Rahim Safawi, who met Hizbullah's deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem at a religious conference in Tehran, has threatened the United States with "Stronger Punches" and an Iranian dissident expected the group to strike in Lebanon. Safawi made the remarks in an interview with the Iranian daily Keyhan stressing that "America will receive stronger strikes and punches from the Revolutionary Guards in the future."
"We will not remain silent in the face of American pressure and we will use all the force we have to confront the Americans. The Revolutionary Guard Corps has a tremendous power ? and we have sophisticated weapons," he said.
