Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran’s ‘Road To The Sea’ Exposed On Golan
2019-03-14
[Jpost] Hezbollah’s role in Syria is part of larger network of Iranian-backed groups seeking to threaten Israel and to create a corridor of Iranian influence across Iraq and Syria.

The threat posed by Hezbollah and Ali Musa Daqduq, a senior operative in Hezbollah, was unmasked by Israel on Wednesday.

Daqduq was responsible for the "abduction and execution of five American servicemen in Iraq in 2007," the IDF said. The role of Hezbollah members in neighboring states is an illustration of how groups allied with Iran are continuing to build a web linking Tehran to Beirut via a "road to the sea" that transits Iraq and Syria.

#9  Why on Earth are we trying to destroy Iran?

If we meant to destroy Iran, the rubble would still be settling in key spots around the country, Mr. McCoy. Current maneuvers are merely intended to bruise them a bit so that they calm down from their current overexcited state.

#8  Herb either knows and is complicit, or is a hysterical anti-interventionist who'll claim ignorance when SHTF here. Dishonest or Ignorant. Why not both?

#7  Why on Earth are we trying to destroy Iran?

To keep them from being facilitators of China's new silk road.

If Iran holds influence in the region, China can negotiate right-of-way with a single oligarchy.

Note the northern leg thru the Ukraine.

#6  Because we can?
Don't mind me. I've still got a grudge over that 444 day embassy hostage thing.

#5  Deliberately obtuse or rhetorical sock puppet? Why not both! Embrace the power of "and"

#4  Why on Earth are we trying to destroy Iran? It doesn't benefit us at all, but is Israel's main enemy now that we destroyed Iraq and Syria.

#3  Eh? Israel has been handling a quiet destruction campaign against the arming of Hizb’allah on her own for years without asking for help, Herb. America certainly hasn’t been doing anything against Iran-linked groups in Iraq, to my knowledge, even as they’ve been killing American troops since 2003. Do you know anything different?

#2  Hysteria Macro, Herb. Save you the repeat comment typing

#1  So the solution to this is, let me guess: continued war by America, we get to pay for it all.

Sickening.
