Hezbollah is operating in Tehran

June 16, 2009 By 15 Comments

Der Spidgel just confirmed the rumors, that many of the guys that are cracking down on the demonstrators in the streets are lebanese hezbollah members. According to them, there are 5000 Hezbollah members in Iran that are part of the crackdown on the students. This is a big mistake. You don't bring an arab to beat down a Persian, unless you want the Persians to get really and I mean really pissed off. The hatred that Persians have for arabs are the stuff of legend, and if the regime has to use arabs to crack down on its people, then it maybe weaker than we ever though.

    “According to Voice of America…”

    Oddly enough, VOA makes no mention of it on their website.

    You’re dead right about Persian attitudes toward Arabs. I used to live in Teheran, and I remember that the very mention of Arabs — and especially Iraqis or Saudis — would make people scowl. I remember a friend mentioning that there’s a rhyming couplet in Farsi that translates roughly to “Arabs are all c*#k and no brains.”

    Firstly, that could well be the original Iranian Hezbollah, of which the Lebanese party is an offshoot. Secondly, don’t forget the German press’ recent attempt to lay the blame on Hezbollah in Lebanon for the Hariri assassination. I don’t trust either story.

    Dude, Sandmonkey, I know you are young and dynamic and all, but are you really that young? Hizbollah started way back in Iran. Hizbollah is and always has been Iranian.

    The reason they hate Egyptians especially Arabs is because Egypt gave sanctuary to the shah. Iraq coz the war and Saudi because they are the Sunni capital of the world and khave deeper pockets than the Rothschild family.

    They definately hate Arabs more than anything, including Israel.

    You are really a clueless, are you?
    There is Iranian Hizbollah and Lebanese Hizbollah, and they are different. Although lebanese hizbollah are supported from Iran.
    On the other hand I really do not believe the rumor about lebanese hizbullah being brought up to Iran. I think that is just a rumor, nothing else. I think that Iranians have hard time to believe that their own people could shoot at them. I mean they did it before again and again but still it is somewhat better to think that somebody else is doing it.

    Dear ella, YOU are clueless and awkwardly presumptuous. I hope my opinion of your last comment wont keep you on the wrong footing for long.

    Ofcourse I know there are two chapters of Hizbollah. The one in Iran and the Lebanese one that came about afterwards as a deterrent to the Zionist invasion of Southern Lebanon.

    That’s like saying the Hells Angels Los Angeles in the US are different from the Hells Angels in Germany. One came before the other, yet they are both the same group. It’s just that the Lebanese Hizbollah has garnered more attention since the Israel war and has actually become stronger. That makes people scared and when people are scared, that’s what they do. TALK!

    Hizbollah means party of God. They were born out of the Iranian revolution.

    So get your facts straight ella, besides, what does : “You are really a clueless, are you?” mean anyways. It doesn’t make any sense.

    If the Persians get mean, what does this mean anyhow? Do they have any weapons to use? I’m sure the Persians could improvise if they wanted to.

    Ok as a Lebanese I’d like to address a few things.

    1) Do the Iranians really need the hezbos help?!
    2) How the hell do 5000 hezbos fly from Beirut to Tehran on the weekend? What airline would they use?!
    3)Hezbollah lost THEIR election, and are fine with it, why would they get all rowdy cause ahmadinejad lost his?

    I DOUBT there’s Lebanese Hezbos in Iran.

    While some of the comments have belittled the idea of Iran flying in Lebanese Hezbollah to bring the Iranian people under control, I disagree. It is much more likely that a few thousand Lebanese were in Iran getting advanced training in combat so they could invade Israel then it is they were flown in specially to practice these tactics just as a counter-revolutionary suppression team.

    It has been speculated for some time that the two parts of Hezbollah were working closely together and that hundreds, if not thousands, of the Lebanese branch were being trained in Iran at any given time. If that is true, and I find few who will argue against this, then it is easy to figure out that this would be great advanced training for advanced terrorist urban combat. Killing people who disagree with terrorism is a good job for trained terrorists, after all.

    the reporting on this issue hasn’t been terribly clear. i’d guess it’s iranian hezbollah — they tend to handle the more thuggish crowd control in iran, so you’d expect them to be deployed right now. and in any case, iran obviously doesn’t need the help of outside militias.

    however, bruce’s comment is intriguing… total conspiracy of course, but it makes some sense.

    if you’ve got a few thousand hezbollah guys in training (as iran does), why not seize this as an opportunity to give them practical experience in urban combat — especially given that iran considers (lebanese) hezb to be their frontline troops against the west and israel?

    Hizbos are an animal specie that is very experienced at intimidating others, they have been doing this ever since their establishment in Lebanon, and it culminated in their may 2008 invasion of beirut

    Claimes circulating on Twitter says Palestinian groups are involved, but there has been nothing concrete in western to validate it.

    Thanks cfw! Glad you can see the possibilities in what I wrote.

    I have been looking for proof of terror groups working in Iran and have only found innuendo and rumor.

    I keep watching here and other blogs that are more tied into the Arab Street and fear that I will find it all too soon. The Iranian people are going to have to either accept their fate or begin to really fight back against the forces being brought to bear. Will Iran go the way of Lebanon?
