Nasrallah In Damascus To Meet Iranians?
The Jerusalem Post, citing a Kuwaiti newspaper, reports that the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, is in Damascus to meet with an Iranian envoy. They are supposedly discussing resupply of Hezbollah with Iranian weapons.
A top Iranian envoy was in Syria on Thursday for talks on the Israeli-Hizbullah conflict in a meeting that brought together the guerrilla organization's two key sponsors, according to Iranian news reports. A Kuwaiti newspaper reported that Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah was taking part in the session.
Kuwait's Al-Siyassah newspaper, known for its opposition to the Syrian regime, said the meeting was designed to discuss ways to maintain supplies to Hezbollah fighters with "Iranian arms flowing through Syrian territories."
Al-Siyassah said it learned of the meeting from "well-informed Syrian sources" it did not identify. According to the newspaper, Nasrallah was moving through Damascus with Syrian guards in an intelligence agency car. He was dressed in civilian clothes, not his normal clerical garb.
The Iranian puppetmasters are prepared to fight to the last drop of Hezbollah's blood. Anything to keep the pot boiling.

Let’s see here. No airport. Ships would take too long. I’ll bet the roads in and out of Syria are pretty well interdicted and their bridges blown. How do you ship a couple hundred 9′ missiles under those conditions?

Thinking has never been their strong suit. Plotting murder, yes. Logistics, no.
