Tehran Takes Gloomy View of the Lebanon War and Truce
 Debka => Salt to taste, but they probably are not far off.While the damage caused Israels military reputation tops Western assessments of the Lebanon war, DEBKAfiles Iranian sources report an entirely different perception taking hold in ruling circles in Tehran. After UN Security Council resolution 1701 calling for a truce was carried Friday, Aug. 11, the heads of the regime received two separate evaluations of the situation in Lebanon one from Irans foreign ministry and one from its supreme national security council. Both were bleak: their compilers were concerned that Iran had been manipulatively robbed of its primary deterrent asset ahead of a probable nuclear confrontation with the United States and Israel.
