Iranian Signal Belies Calls for Action

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz, citing Lebanese sources, reports that Iran has directed Hezbollah NOT to launch its own missiles from southern Lebanon into northern Israel. The Lebanese Daily Star has a similar report. Haaretz reports:

"Lebanon's parliament majority leader Saad Hariri on Monday claimed that Hezbollah would not respond to Israel's devastating offensive against Hamas in Gaza. Hariri said that Saeed Jalili, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told him that Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant organization, would not attack Israel from Lebanon."

This despite the fact that the Iranians are calling for all the Arab nations to strike "the Zionist Entity" for the offensive against Gaza, and are the patrons of Hamas.
