Is IRAN really supporting Hezbollah? Than why IRAN did not provide them anti aircraft guns?

Answer 1

It is US and Israeli propaganda just to put pressure on IRAN. Hezbollah is the local organization and they even gave a very tough time to Israel in 1982 when Iran was busy in its own war. Suppose we agree that Iran is providing weapons to Hezbollah than US should tell who is providing weapons to Al-qaida in Iraq???

Answer 2

Think about it from a rational military point of view. Antiaircraft cannons are nowdays only useful if they have advanced tracking and gun-laying radars as the aircraft of today are very fast and hard to track down by sight/hand like in World War II. Otherwise it would be better to use shoulder-mounted anti-air missiles or bigger anti-aircraft SAM launchers.

And what should happen if Hezbollah has been found with these sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons and Iran has been linked to them. It will confirm everyone's suspicions that Iran is responsible for this madness we are seeing in the Middle East. It will give Israel even more excuses to send Iran back to the Stone Age, and it may even turn world public opinion against Iran and Hezbollah (unlikely as it seems).

Answer 3

they have provided them with few long-range missiles according to what i have heard from the news as well as funding them. the amount which Iran pays to Hezbollah is though to be around 40 million dollars a year. that's a lot of money. why don't they provide with AA weapons? maybe because Iran doesn't have much of it themselves. they buy it from other countries probably like Iraq once did. or maybe it would give the US,UK and EU a very good reason to attack Iran. terrorists must not have these kinds of weapons if they do, then every single passenger planes in the sky are not safe.
Iran is the source of every terrorist groups in the world, they are funding all of them. my reasons to believe this is because 1- they hate USA and Europe and everything they stand for, unfortunately for them they cant beat them in a head on battle. 2- if the world was a peaceful place, then Iranian government would eventually collapse because its younger generations would want freedom. 3- all these terrorist groups started after the current Iranian government was Established. their tactics such as suicide bombings was first seen during the Iraq and Iran war in 1980 where the Iranian soldiers would run into Iraqi bunkers and blow themselves up, or run a head of the main army (usually armored divisions) and clear out mine fields.
suprisingly some people seem to be supporting Iran in thier argumens as i looked at some of the answers. perhaps we should send them to iran where most of thier rights will be taken away and see which one do they prefer, USA or Iranian society.

Answer 4

in accordance to u . s . a . branch of State, Iran has provided guns to Hezbollah besides as provided training and funding. as well, Syria has authorized Iran to apply Damascus as a transshipment element to provide Hezbollah. There are also comments that Syria itself has provided Hezbollah with BM-27 220mm rockets. In yet another record, Iran's Islamic modern Guards Corps has helped construct Hezbollah's underground storerooms interior the Bekaa Valley to carry huge quantities of missiles and ammunition. Hezbollah's missile rigidity incorporates some 2 hundred technicians and experts educated in Iran. The Zelzal-2 rockets require understanding to attempt to launch effectively, and Hezbollah might want to require direct help from Iranian modern Guards to operate the rockets. next!

Answer 5

I dont know. They did supply them with 100 troops and missles to take out an Israeli war ship. They do continue to provide them with things.

No country would waste their munitions on a war they didnt think their interests could win. Iam sure Iran is testing the waters, waiting to see if the tides will turn more in Hezbollah's favor.

Answer 6

Because Anti-Aircraft guns can be seen....they really do not work anyway, except maybe on helicopters, because SF can paint them with a laser and a missle can be fired at them from a long way off...only thing that might work would be anti-aircraft missles and the ones Iran has they bought cheap from Russia...so that tells you how up to date they are...

Answer 7

Yes they are suppoting them ( and china supporting them through Iran, since most of the weapons comming in are from China)

Most anti aircraft now is missles, not "guns" but most of the equipment they get are of lower quality, guess that is all they can hide in thier homes, and basements, since that is where the weapons are mostly keep at, thus why residental areas are comming under fire

Answer 8

Iran and Syria are supporitng Hezbollah covertly.

Answer 9

yes, Iran is supporting Hezbollah. I don't know why they didn't give this band of terrorist a full compliment of weaponry.

Answer 10

ask Iran, they are known to give them weapons and financial support. Hezbollah doesn't manufacture its own weapons.
