Mohammed Ali Jafari, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps said that Iran will block “oil shipments through the strategic Hormuz Straits if attacked and pledged that Hizbullah could also respond by rocketing Israel.” Hizballah fighting for Iran?! Didn't they claim they are a Lebanese Resistance movement? Oh well. I recommend you read Mehdi Khalaji article on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Arab League Secretary, General Amr Moussa declared to Asharq al-Awsat daily, that Lebanon is nearing the red lines.
“Mines are being planted in Lebanon in extremely dangerous circumstances.” “In deed, we are nearing the red lines” in Lebanon, Moussa warned.
When Hizballah and AMAL finally agreed to the solution proposed by Fuad Sinioara, the Free Patriotic Movement changed its mind.
Free Patriotic Movement official Gibran Bassil said the group is “withdrawing the concession it recently made and in which we accepted two basic portfolios and the seat of deputy premier.” “We want a sovereign portfolio,” Bassil told An Nahar.
The publication quoted FPM sources as saying the group wants the finance portfolio in addition to the ministries of public works and social affairs as well as the seat of deputy premier.
