Iran does not just deliver supplies and weapons, but has commandos and RG fighters operating both in Lebanon and Syria, plus conventional (and if one interprets Israel's signals: chemical) engineers as well. Iran will happily welcome any opportunity to distract attention form their nuclear weapons program, may it be by pouring those sweet words into Western ears that our diplomats would like to hear, may it be by creating a big bad mess somewhere else. The new Iranian president is misperceived by some as being willing to "negotiate" the nuclear bomb
(in fact he supports and always has supported the nuclear weapon agenda as determined as the other candidates do since always, he just is smart enough to avoid provoking the West at every opportunity like the little chimp before him used to do - this is what t makes the new president far more dangerous than the earlier one), and he helps that impression by making sweet, sweet comments, oh yes, sooo sweeeet. Give diplomacy a new chance!
These optimists will once again get shattered when they impact on the concrete bottom of ME reality once the flight phase of their LSD trip is over.
Regarding Hezbollah and Lebanon, and Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia already are in a hot proxy war. Since many years.
Israel will take note of the new American weakness in determination and leadership, and rate Obama's comments that he would not hesitate to strike Iran if it gets "too close" to the nuclear bomb accordingly.
I think Obama is wildly determined to never decisively strike Iran
no matter what, and would willingly accept a nuclear armed Iran instead of preventing it.
