1. WOW! THIS IS NOT GOING TO END WELL! MORE PROOF THAT MUSLIM
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (11.07.17)
countries mostly can't really govern themselves in peace with themselves and with the outside world. The hunger & aggressive attitude of them for power are going to bring more misery to their own population. Of course, the mullahs will blame Israel for this it as it is just the closest and smaller target than the USA.

its unfair, that the readers of your 3rd class reporting cant comment anymore
3. Hezbollah - Out of control
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.07.17)
You have to wonder wether it is Iran controlling Hezbollah or the other way around

For months Nasrallah has been openly leveraging for full control of Lebanon as a 'reward' for its military support in Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq and Yemen and now effectively pushing Iran into a corner of its making

And even in 2016, some in Hezbollah were suggesting this could happen anyway...'with or without Iran'. An Iran it seems outplayed and out manouvered by Nasrallah and seemingly calling the shots and influencing and colouring Irans international relations

And in all this menacing treachery,,,is Lebanon...once a home open to all religions, an open and vibrant and democratic society, a refuge for hundreds of thousands of Syrians...now laid waste and disembowelled, turned into an economic and social basketcase by Hezbollah Iran while the world LOOKS AWAY


4. to declare war on leb, they just say leb declared war - in
epo   (11.07.17)
fact they want to declare war on iran, and this now is the bizarre backdoor to it.

if SA proceeds like that, they have to be tried by the UN.

SA just declared terror on the rest of the region.

lebanon shouldnt reply to them at all, just file complains at the UN.

7. Almost comical

If it weren't for the advanced weapons used.
Most Muslims can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Thank God.
8. war????
steve s   (11.12.17)
Lebanon and Saudi Arabia will never be at war. Take a look at a map. SA would need to cross Jordan and Syria to get at Lebanon and that would never happen. It may be a "war of words" or involve financial/commercial boycotts but it will never be a physical conflict other than the terrorist assaults so common in the ME. Everyone needs t take a chill pill.
