Hezbollah Confesses

Its supreme leader, Hassan Nasrallah, laid it all out in an interview with Iranian TV...which promptly censored it. Apparently it was just too candid for the mullahs.

The dangerous words are these:

“We are ready to be torn apart, spliced into tiny pieces, so that Iran will remain exalted. For if Iran remains exalted, we too shall be exalted. I am a lowly soldier of the Imam Khamenei. Hizbullah youths acted on behalf of the Imam Khomeini, with the aid of Imam Hussein, and sent their blessings to the Iranian people,” said Nasrallah in an interview with reporter Bijan Nobaveh on the day marking the start of the Second Lebanon War according to the Persian calendar.

Nasrallah also thanked Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and all the “brothers and sisters” in Iran.

Now you will say–and of course you’re entirely correct–that there is really nothing here that we did not know. But Iran’s behavior suggests that the mullahs think otherwise. They obviously feared that the publication of Nasrallah’s declaration of fealty to Supreme Leader Khamenei would redound to their disadvantage. If they had not been concerned, they wouldn’t have cut out the worrisome passages, would they?

Anyway, let’s hope that this remarkably clear statement of the truth will lead the MSM to constantly remind their readers that Hezbollah is not an independent actor, but does whatever it does “on behalf of the Imam Khomeini, with the aid of Imam Hussein…”
