The Saudi Covert War on Iran

[Grant]

12-3-13: Riyadh took out Hajj Hassan Hollo al-Laqqis, the Hizballah commander.

"It seems obvious that the al-Laqqis hit was timed to take place shortly after the Hizballah leader went on the air for an extraordinarily arrogant television interview, during which he made a point of sneering after every reference to the US, Saudi Arabia or Israel. He also appeared to glorify in the big power status conferred on the Islamic Republic (and himself) by the Obama administration after the signing of the Geneva nuclear accord.

Nasrallah praised that accord as signaling “the end of the US monopoly on power” and preventing war in the region. He said Israel couldn’t bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities without a green light from the US. But, he said, America is tired of war. The Saudi war against Iran, he said, has never stopped. He accused a “Saudi-backed group” of being behind the Iranian embassy bombing in Beirut.

The killing of a high-placed Nasrallah insider was intended to illustrate to Hizballah members and the rest of the region that the Hizballah leader’s outburst of hubris was hollow, that his own innermost command elite is deeply penetrated, and that whoever sent the assassins could at any time sow mayhem within the pro-Iranian organization’s ranks.
It also carried a wider message for Tehran and Gen. al-Soleimani: Your own Hizballah holds wide sway over Lebanon and its capital. If you can’t nonetheless keep the symbols of Iranian power in Lebanon and your proxy’s commanders safe, neither can you guarantee the security of Syrian president Bashar Assad in Damascus.

Accusing Israel of the deed and threatening revenge apparently made more sense to Hizballah that accusing Riyadh, which is out of its reach for punishment. Its leaders were even willing to allow people to deduce that Israeli intelligence had penetrated Hizballah’s top ranks and center of government in Beirut deeply enough to pick off its commanders.

There is little doubt in Tehran or Beirut that Riyadh’s hand was behind the slaying of the Hizballah commander, or that Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies are working hand in hand against Tehran in Iran, Syria and Lebanon."

Grant, you seem to be a Debka-o-phile, do you really believe them when they say it was the Saudis who took out Lakkis and not the Israelis? Do you really believe Israeli and Saudi covert units are working together against the Shia axis?

[LeJusticier]

I fully agree what Hassan Nasrallah have stated.

Rumor.com has been wrong before, but in this case I think they nailed it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Certainly they are working on the same side in Syria, but KSA is more likely to have adequate resources within Hisballah.

What? Iran is the biggest territorial threat to the Saudis in the world, what on earth are you talking about

People who see the world as "Dar al Islam vs the Yahuuds and United States of Shaytan" are seriously deluding themselves. The Muslim world is hopelessly divided and half of them want to invade the other half.

There are a dozen different wars that could happen at any moment in the Muslim world, Pakistan and Iran over the Baluchi terrorists in Makran, Iran and the Saudis over any number of things, Algeria and Morocco over Western Sahara, but the biggest powderkeg of all will be the scramble for Afghanistan when the US finally leaves. Everyone's going to get in there, Pakistan, Iran and China all have their fingers in there and Obama hasn't even withdrawn yet.
