| Amal, Hizbullah Support Syria Against 'Conspiracy' |
| 2011-08-16 |
| [An Nahar] Amal movement and Hizbullah leaderships in southern Leb have stressed on dialogue as the only solution to Leb's problems. "The Lebanese have the single choice of dialogue to solve their problems," the two allied parties said in a statement following an Iftar organized by Hizbullah in Nabatiyeh. "Those betting on regional and other changes and building their strategies to reject dialogue and further complicate the crisis, are threatening the stability of Leb and preventing its prosperity," they said. The statement stressed support for the Syrian leadership in its efforts to quell the conspiracy that seeks to target it under the slogan of change and reform. The leadership of the two Shiite groups said the conspiracy against the Assad regime aims at isolating Syria from the resistance forces in the region. Amal and Hizbullah stressed the importance of consolidating the people, army and resistance triangle to confront Israel. "The policy of deterrence in the oil dispute is the only pillar that can preserve the rights of the Lebanese in their territorial waters and their oil resources," they said. |

| #1 As things stand, Iran desires to project military power into the Mediterranean proper [Atlantic Ocean?], espec NAVAL POWER + likely also LR AIR POWER, but can't do so unless it has STRATEGIC ACCESS = AIR-SEA PORTS/BASE RIGHTS IN KEY REGIONS. The KSA + Turkey aren't going to give said rights to Iran given their current state of diplomatic relations - that leaves Iranian ally SYRIA + PALEO STATE [Gaza Strip] + LEBANON [Hezbollah Govt] + VARIOUS NORTH AFRICAN "ARAB SPRINGS" [read, Muslim Brotherhood = Egypt = SUEZ CANAL, + Libya]. BAHRAIN? YEMEN? Surprise, surprise, TEHRAN has given its ostensible support to so-called "People Power", pro-Islamist Movements includ as per internal Govt. Reforms. |
