Iran Assists Hezbollah

From MEMRI

On July 29, 2006, the London Arabic daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported on assistance extended to Hezbollah by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

According to a high-ranking Revolutionary Guards officer, Hezbollah has a diver unit and a naval commando unit.

He further claims that Revolutionary Guards officers assisted Hezbollah in the July 14, 2006, firing of a C802 missile at an Israeli Navy ship, and had also helped Hezbollah construct underground facilities - including command and control rooms - which are being operated by Revolutionary Guards officers along with Hezbollah fighters.

In addition, Iranian news agencies have published a number of reports about groups of Iranian volunteers sent to Lebanon to aid Hezbollah in its fight against Israel.
