Part 5 –———GO THOU THY WAY!
Like It Or Not, The Final Die is Cast!
All the Elements are coming Together,
That must lead to conventional Warfare
In the Middle East which finally Culminates
In the last great world battle of Armageddon,
Some three and one-half years after war Begins,
Which Initially Drives Israel Into Negev Wilderness!
The Interactive Control Between Iran-Hamas-Hizbullah
Is exposed in the open air like an injured throbbing Thumb!
It is the tip of a moving iceberg whose base must finally pop Up!

Regional issues will determine Israeli attack – Nasrallah
By Agence France Presse (AFP)
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
TEHRAN: Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said any Israeli attack on
Lebanon depended on the Iranian nuclear issue and the Israel-Syria talks, in an interview with Iran’s state-run television on Monday. “I cannot say when Israel is going to attack Lebanon, if it is going to be soon or not.
It depends on the region’s events and circumstances,” said Nasrallah, whose Shiite resistance group is backed by Damascus and Tehran.
“On the one hand it depends on Iran’s nuclear case, and on the other hand it depends on the indirect talks between Syria and Israel,” he added.
He was referring to the Iranian nuclear drive which the West suspects is a weapons program. It has already imposed sanctions on Tehran and Washing ton refuses
to rule out the use of force.
Tehran vehemently denies it is developing nuclear weapons.
Israel and Syria, which have technically been in a state of war for 60 years, launched indirect negotiations brokered by Turkey in May, eight years after talks were frozen over the fate of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Nasrallah assessed the current situation in the Middle East as “not stable and not calm,” but he added that Hizbullah’s “military situation is in the best of shape, thanks God.”
Iran is a staunch supporter of Hizbullah although it denies Western and Israeli charges of military backing to the militant group which fought against the Jewish state during Israel’s 2006 summer war in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post reported again on Monday that top Israeli defense officials have claimed that Iran was tightening its grip on Hizbullah, and has instituted a number of structural changes to the party under which the group’s secretary general “no longer enjoys exclusive command over its military wing.”
According to the officials cited by the paper, Iran increased its involvement in Hizbullah’s decision-making process following the summer 2006 war “and has instituted a number of changes to the group’s hierarchy, under which Nasrallah requires Iranian permission prior to certain operations.”
The article added that the alleged Iranian move was seen by Israeli military officials “as an attempt to consolidate command of [Iran’s] military forces in the event of a major conflict in the Middle East.”
“If Iran is attacked by the United States or Israel, it may now be able to give orders to Hizbullah to retaliate on its behalf,” the paper commented.
Hizbullah had no immediate comment but has scoffed at similar reports in the past. – AFP, with agencies

Iran’s al Qods, Hizballah secretly integrate rocket and commando units
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
September 7, 2008, 11:42 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources disclose that an Iranian Revolutionary Guards delegation last week signed a secret accord with Hizballah leaders for the integration and operational merger of their missile-rocket and commando units.
This may not have been news to US vice president Dick Cheney, when he “revealed” Saturday, Sept. 6, that Russia had sold advanced weapons to Syria and Iran, some of which
had been channeled to Lebanon and Iraq.
However, Israeli president Shimon Peres, who responded by waving aside the need for an Israeli attack on Iran, was clearly out of the picture evolving ominously across the border in Lebanon.
There, Iran and Syria are deepening their stranglehold on Lebanon and preparing to attack Israel by using al-Qods’ resources to further fortify Hizballah.
The new accord enables the two terrorist machines to fight under a unified command controlled from Tehran.
Like President Peres, the rest of Israel’s policy-making levels appears oblivious to the fact that key elements of Hizballah’s fighting machine against Israel have been taken over by the al Qods commander, Ghasem Suleimani, whom DEBKAfile identifies as the senior commander of Iran’s terrorist and intelligence networks in the Palestinian territories and the Persian Gulf.
Western military experts point to the contiguous operational control Iran has acquired for al Qods – from Iraq, via Syria, Lebanon and up to the Mediterranean coast of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
Last week, defense minister Ehud Barak warned that Israel is closely and cautiously following developments to the north. “Our enemies” had better not put IDF to the test, he said.
Tehran, Damascus and Hizballah, already inured to such statements from Barak which rarely lead
to action, simply ignored this one too.
Iran timed its move to coincide with the French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit to Damascus last week, hoping all eyes would be fixed on the visit and no one would notice the al Qods team slipping quietly into Beirut for another step to plunge Lebanon further into Iran-backed Hizballah war preparations against Israel.
