Mashnouq: Iran Revolutionary Guard Using Lebanon for Yemen, Syria Operations
2016-03-08
[An Nahar] Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq on Sunday accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps of using Leb as an "operations room" for its activities in Yemen, Syria and other countries.

"Our stance is clear on rejecting Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
's interference and Iran's Revolutionary Guard is using Leb as an operations room for its foreign operations in Yemen, Syria and other places," Mashnouq said in an interview with Al-Arabiya television.

"We will do all we can to prevent Leb from being turned into a Persian thorn in the thigh of Arabs," the minister vowed.

"We are voicing a political, peaceful stance and we do not want a military confrontation or a sectarian strife," he underlined.

Mashnouq was speaking only hours after Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
renewed his verbal attacks against Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
over the conflicts in Yemen, Iraq and Syria and linked Riyadh's latest measures against Leb and Hizbullah to what he called the kingdom's "failure in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
and Syria."

Saudi Arabia has linked its measures to Leb's refusal to join the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in condemning attacks on Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran last month, and alleged Hizbullah "terrorist acts against Arab and Muslim nations."

"The entire world will realize that in Leb there are political forces that do not accept that Leb be taken hostage of foreign policies that are not in the interest of the Lebanese," Mashnouq said on Sunday.

"Arab negligence towards Leb is what made us reach this situation. The Arab confrontation decision goes back to a few weeks ago only while we have been offering deaders for the past ten years," he told the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya television.

Turning to his participation at the conference of Arab interior ministers in Tunisia earlier this week, Mashnouq said he told the Arab officials there "that the Arab confrontation decision came as a surprise but the means of confrontation require preparation and readiness."

"Some ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council states expressed understanding of my stance in Tunisia and congratulated me on it and I was not told about any dismay," the minister added, referring to his rejection of a clause that described Hizbullah as "terrorist" in the meeting's closing statement.

Mashnouq had accused Hizbullah in late February of having "trained" Iran-linked turbans who have been allegedly captured in several countries across the world. "Iranian revolutionary guard terrorist cells that were captured in eight countries comprised members who were trained in Leb" at the hands of Hizbullah, Mashnouq alleged.
