Report: Iranian general reveals information about arming of Hezbollah
[Jpost] An Iranian senior military official on Friday confirmed that the Islamic Theocratic Republicis manufacturing weapons in the war-torn city of Aleppo, according to London-based Arabic daily Asharq al-Awsat. Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri said that missile production facilities had been transferred to the besieged Syrian city over the past few years, marking the first admission by a senior Iranian official that Tehran is producing weapons on foreign land. The military general, speaking at a cultural ceremony in Tehran earlier this week, also revealed that missiles manufactured at the Aleppo facilities were used by Hezbollah during its 33-day war with Israel in June of 2006. The information was not much of a revelation to rebel Syrian fighters, according to Asharq al-Awsat, who have fought against  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... in a bloody civil war for the past five-years. "Iranian military production on Syrian soil started in 2002 as part of a deal inked between Bashir al-Assad and the Iranian leadership," Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... Commander Col. Ahmed Rahal told Asharq al-Awsat. "The Iranian information is very accurate and true," he continued, adding that "Iranian military production in Syria is part of a comprehensive military and economic plan between the countries." Bagheri also responded to a threat issued by US President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , who said in September that any Iranian vessels that harass the US Navy in the Gulf would be "shot out of the water" if he were elected. Bagheri called the statement a "joke," and commented that Trump "ate too much sugar" during campaigns, a Farsi proverb referring to nonsense, according to Asharq al-Awsat. Nearly 500,000 people have been killed since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, according to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... , with over half the population being displaced from their homes.
