2. Report: IRAN- plane.......was...
Eva ,   Jeroesjalaim   (08.02.09)
carrying ARMS for HEZBOLLAH in the plane, which left 168 people dead.. And the world, is still sleeping.........!
3. Good news..
Osman   (08.02.09)
I wish all pasdarans and bajisis would finish like this.. soon or later they will taste their own medicine..
4. Fits exactly the Iranian terrorist policies.
(08.02.09)
5. Desperate
Faraz ,   Meldreth, IK   (08.02.09)
This really is scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of trying build evidence against Iran. What will we have next: dogs carrying AK-47s across the border; or perhaps flies transporting anti-tank missiles?
6. By Hizbollah logic if true it makes the crash Israel's fault

7. Report: Iran plane was carrying arms for Hezbollah
Saman Bahari ,   London, UK   (08.02.09)
This story may be true or not. But anything that is alledged by the so called "exiled opposition" sources is highly doubtfull. They call themselved a "socialist Islamic" group! Just think for a moment what this means,
8. The “detterence” of Hezbollah.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (08.02.09)
In the wake of the 2006 war, the following facts have become clear: First, Hezbollah, which represented itself as the “defender of Lebanon,” turned out to be its destroyer, due to the extensive devastation it brought down on the heads of the Lebanese people in the course of the war. Second, Hezbollah’s deterrent charm was dispelled. The war made it clear that the organization could no longer carry out military operations against Israel along the Lebanese-Israeli border and expect Israel to refrain from retaliating. Third, Hezbollah was perceived more and more as a Shi‘i organization serving Iranian interests. More at : http://xrl.us/beee8c
9. From Armenia to Syria, through Turkey ?
Mitia ,   Paris, France   (08.02.09)
This scenario suffers from a little problem: borders between Turkey and Armenia are closed.
10. Why bother with this route when they can take them directly
rebecca ,   modiin   (08.02.09)
NObody, especially the UN is stopping the direct route.
11. ridiculous
bnai brith ,   tel aviv   (08.02.09)
just a bunch of brackish mossad backwash, guzzled down eagerly by some idiotic reporter in the west, and then slurped up happily by morons back home.
12. oh but I thought Hizb r nice peacfull people.
ghostq   (08.02.09)
my bad.
13. #faraz - we have already seen Hamas using Horses
rebecca ,   modiin   (08.02.09)
My dear Faraz, you do not know how low these people can go. We have already seen Hamas strapping bombs to horses, after realising we have got wise to them strapping bombs to their women and children.
14. HIGHLY UNLIKELY
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.02.09)
That the Iranians would use a civilian aircraft to deliver fuses to Hezbullah's.Why,in the first place would items like fuses need such complicated routing?Anyway,Iran is always exposed to these types of news and we are quite used to it.By the way,are we to understand that the Iranian military experts did not know that there was a possibility of such an incident occuring?Sunday story highly improbable.
15. #1: And You Had Any Doubts?

16. #9: It Is Called Smuggling . . .
emanon ,   USA   (08.02.09)
And this is how the weapons eventually end up in the hand of Israel's enemies to be used against Israel. Look at the border between Egypt and what used to be Israel and is now in the hands of the terrorstinians. Closed borders and prohibitions against arms trade has no effect there.
17. To 5 Faraz
Osman   (08.02.09)
Speaking about weapons and animals reminds me that sometimes ago the akhoonds of Tehran where bracing about breaking a alleged Israeli spy ring composed from doves and squirrels.. The news where reported after a quote from one of your news agency.. funny isn't.
18. You are right, Osman
Cameron ,   USA   (08.02.09)
I had quite forgotten that posting about how the clerics of virtue were combating that Devilish, squirrel conspiracy.
19. to #14 you will be surprise on what they r
ghostq   (08.02.09)
capable of doing. where do you think Hizb hide his weapons? in heavy populated areas. it's not an invention it's what hizb and Hamas do.
20. What Rubbish
VartanTiger ,   London UK   (08.02.09)
The border between Armenia & Turkey is closed for decades. How could idiots believe such rubbish.Bollocks is the person who has written this article.
21. Sillier than Rubbish
Paul ,   London, England   (08.02.09)
What a far-fetched stupidity. Iran-Armenia-Turkey-Syria-Lebanon route. All working for Hezballah. I might believe if the newspaper wrote about "pigs are flying". Now that would be news-worthy. Can somebody remind the newspaper that the borders between Armenia and Turkey are still closed since 1980. I was there crossing when they closed.
22. Iranian Plane Carrying Fuses For Hezbollah
Bob Beamer ,   Somewhere, Tehran   (08.02.09)
To the Revolutionary Guards Of Iran -Allah blew up your plane because he knew what you were doing was wrong and he will hurt you even more if you continue down this path!
23. Revolutionary fuses.
Charles Smyth ,   Belfast, UK.   (08.02.09)
Perhaps divine intervention. Perhaps another successful Israeli operation.
24. #14 MAHMOOD - then you would be unafraid to travel ....
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (08.02.09)
on a irans Airlines....
25. To 20, 21 & al.
Ace   (08.02.09)
Altough the ground boundaries are closed between Armenia and Turkey, the air lines are still open to internional flights. So ther eis nothing so ludicrous about that claim
26. N.25
Paul ,   London, England   (08.02.09)
You must one of those old Italians. Faschismo stupida. Read some books. Fuses, explosives. Wow. The armenians would love it and use it against azerbaidjan with a nice thank you smile.
27. true colors
E ,   USA   (08.02.09)
incompetent Government, incompetent, military incompetent munitions, incompetent stratigist incompetent incompetent incompetent incompetent incompetent incompetent incompetent , or I could of saved myself all this typeing and just said Iran.
28. Iranian Plane Crash
Ann ,   St Louis, USA   (08.02.09)
Prevention is the best form of medicine: Mossad, CIA, Divine intervention, whatever works to stop the killing of innocents!!
29. #14 Why unlikely, Mahmood?
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.02.09)
Using human shields as a cover is stylistic for Iran, Hezbullah and Hamas. Apparently three black boxes were recovered. Why weren't the findings reported? Given your expertise, how does Iran typically deliver weapons to Hezbollah?
30. Iran Plane Crash
Ken ,   Worcester USA   (08.02.09)
They got what they deserved
