Iran's Proxy War, Part 4

From the Associated Press:

No part of Israel is safe in the current fighting with Lebanon, Iran's parliamentary speaker warned Tuesday, referring to the range of guerrilla rockets.

Speaking to a crowd of thousands of anti-Israel demonstrators in Palestine Square, Tehran, Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel [Tom's note: who is heavily involved in the negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, by the way] told Israelis: "The towns you have built in northern Palestine (Israel) are within the range of the brave Lebanese children. No part of Israel will be safe."


Dan Darling has more on what this threat means here and Dan McKivergan had an excellent post about this at the Worldwide Standard a couple of days ago.
