File under: Hezbollah

#1 Hezbollah in Lebanon probably gets at least 60% of their revenue from Iran. This hasn't been enough to repair all the buildings destroyed or damaged by the Israelis. This has, I think, led to Hezbollah trying to extort more $ from Iran and some folks in Iran complaining (not loudly) about the burden of subsidizing Hezbollah.

Unless oil goes back to about $80/barrel or more, Iran is eventually going to have to reduce its Hezbollah subsidy and, if and when that happens, it will be a painful day for Nasrallah.
