| 2006-06-16 |
| TEHRAN: Defence ministers from close allies Iran and Syria on Thursday signed an agreement for military cooperation against what they called the "common threats" presented by Israel and the United States. In a joint press conference, Iranian Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar and visiting Syrian counterpart Hassan Turkmani said their talks had been aimed at consolidating their defence efforts and strengthening support for one another. "Our cooperation is based on a strategic pact and unity against common threats," Turkmani said. "Our cooperation with the Iranians against Israeli threats is nothing secret and we consult about this with our friends," he said. |

| #5 I think it's more about making this all about Israel and less about islam or persians. The big attack to rid the islamist failed "states" throughout the world of their only impedance to a rich and successful, eating milk and honey existence that is their Human Right, is drawing nigh. These are the alliances - and identified targets. August is a comin'. |

| #4 My guess is this is about the use and support of Hezbollah and an effort to make it more about Islam and less about Persian Shias in the minds of the regional undereducated folk. |
