Tehran Times: "Israeli Plot in Lebanon"

Guess who's responsible for the recent assassinations in Lebanon?

Following the assassination of Hariri, the UN ratified Resolution 1636, which called for the establishment of an international investigative commission under the supervision of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and headed by UN investigator Detlev Mehlis. This resolution transformed the Lebanon crisis into an international crisis. Paying no heed to the critical situation in Lebanon, Mehlis made some accusations against Syria.

Although the Hariri assassination case has still not been legally resolved, obvious measures are being taken to politicize it.

Under such circumstances, the Zionist regime is trying to manipulate the critical political atmosphere in Lebanon in order to foment anti-Syrian sentiment by arranging a series of terrorist operations against the country’s political and media figures, including the assassinations of journalist Samir Qassir and politician George Hawi and the attack that seriously injured television reporter Mai Shedyak.

In the 1970s, the Mossad killed many Lebanese and Palestinian political figures in similar terrorist operations.

And it is a documented fact that the Mossad is experienced in organizing terrorist attacks that leave no trace of their involvement. Now, what is the Zionist regime’s objective in assassinating Lebanese figures and what will its next step be?

The Zionists are definitely trying to increase suspicions about both Syria and the Lebanese resistance forces in order to undermine political and intellectual relations between Damascus and Beirut.

Foe their next step, the Zionists will try to disarm Lebanon’s Islamic resistance forces, mainly because Israeli troops were forced to withdraw from southern Lebanon in the year 2000 due to the military pressure of these forces. Thus, the Zionist regime is currently trying to establish itself in the Lebanese political scene by organizing its lackeys in the country.

Undoubtedly, assassinations of influential political figures in Lebanon will continue and will not be restricted to a specific group since the Zionist regime does not differentiate between Christians and Muslims or between Sunnis and Shias in its efforts to destabilize Lebanon.

Hey, at least we're an equal-opportunity conspiracy.
