Iranians helped Hezbollah attack warship: Israeli intelligence

Associated Press

JERUSALEM — A missile fired by Hezbollah, not an unmanned drone laden with explosives, damaged an Israeli warship off Lebanon, the army said Saturday. Elite Iranian troops helped fire the missile, a senior Israeli intelligence official said.

Comment: It may simply be my reading of this, but this article is offering as fact what appears to me to be a claim (speculation).

The intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information, said about 100 Iranian soldiers are in Lebanon and helped fire the Iranian-made, radar-guided C-102 at the ship late Friday.

Comment: Again, offered as fact rather than hypothesis.

The official added that the troops involved in firing the missile are from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite corps of more than 200,000 fighters that is independent of the regular armed forces and controlled directly by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Comment: "Israeli Intelligence Officials" said it, so it must be true! ASSHOLES.



Can the press be any MORE biased in pushing us towards a confrontation with Iran?
