| Arab media has reported that dead Revolutionary Guard official used guise of false alias to coordinate Iran's activities in Lebanon, Syria; including funds, weapon transfers to Hezbollah and rehabilitating arsenal. The London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported Friday that Hush Husam Nawis, also known as Hassan Shateri, a senior Revolutionary Guard official who was killed in Syria on Thursday, was in fact named Hassan Shateri, while Nawis served as his alias. Shateri was a general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and headed the Iranian operation to rehabilitate the war-scarred country. He reportedly also served as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's personal emissary to Lebanon. |

| #1 This is not getting much appreciation in the western media. But this guy was a big wheel for the Revolutionary Guards in Iran. Apparently they are very angry at his death. It appears he was targeted when Israeli bombers also hit the chemical weapons intended for Hezbollah (a couple of weeks ago). Or maybe there NEVER WERE any chemical weapons and this whole strike was aimed at Hassan Shateri. It's a major setback for Iranian agents operating inside Syria. Once again ... pinpoint targeting by the Israeli intel agencies. With devastating consequences! |
