The Trumpet has long warned of Iran’s regional ambitions. In the August 2008Trumpet magazine, editor in chief Gerald Flurry and managing editor Joel Hilliker cowrote an article titled “Iran Conquered Lebanon … Now What?” Written long before Iran was free of sanctions, the piece discussed Iran’s investments in Hezbollah and what Iran is planning next. Iran is still supporting Hezbollah because those goals have not yet been attained!
Iran has big plans for the Middle East—particularly Jerusalem. It is in Iran’s interests to keep Hezbollah, which is stationed just north of the Holy City, well funded and well armed.
Tehran has not invested millions annually, sent tens of thousands of missiles, trained troops and established the organization’s political presence for nothing. Nor would Hezbollah—“Iran’s primary beneficiary”—miss out on obtaining some of Tehran’s unfrozen cash.
To understand Hezbollah’s role and Iran’s interest in being the dominant power in the Middle East, be sure to read “Iran Conquered Lebanon … Now What?”
