By what route does Iran support Hizbollah?

Question

We're told Iran is supporting Hizbollah with funds and weapons. Are these weapons crossing US controlled Iraq by land? Do they sneak across Turkey to Syria and get to Lebanon that way? Is it possible they are delivered by air? I hear so much about the Iran connection in the news, but there seem to be significant geographic barriers between Iran and Lebanon.

Answer 1

The rockets and missiles come from Iran over land via Syria to Lebanon.

Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, on July 13. Hezbollah has mainly been using Kassam and Ketyusha rockets to bombard northern Israel. On July 17 Hezbollah used an Iran-made radar-guided C-802 shore-to-sea missile of the Silkworm family to disable the Israeli Saar-5 state-of-the-art warship, Ahi-Hanit, which was shelling Beirut airport. Four Israelis were killed, but the ship was brought back to base under its own power, repaired and returned to service. On July 18 Hezbollah used a longer range missile which it calls, Khaibar-1 (after Mohammed’s battle with the Jews of Medina). This is probably one of the Zelzal missiles. It has not yet used its Fajr missiles. Hezbollah has indicated that it will bombard Tel-Aviv, Israel with 500 missiles.

On Friday, July 28, Syrian air defense batteries ambushed and shot down an Israeli spy drone flying on the Lebanese side of the border with Syria. These drones have been used to “paint” the weapons convoys heading in from Syria, for the Israeli air force to hit them before they can reach their destinations and replenish Hizballah stockpiles. This time, the Syrians knocked the drone out of the sky to allow a large consignment of rocket launchers and truckloads of rockets to cross into Lebanon undetected and safe from Israeli air attack.

Iran just admitted that it supplied Hezbollah with Zelzal-2 missiles. It was one of the objectives of the Israeli Defense Forces to destroy those missiles. The IDF has successfully ferreted out many of the missiles from the underground bunkers and destroyed them.

Hezbollah has not yet gotten authority from Iran to use the longer range Fajr missiles against Israel.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the man to watch these days. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless. Ahmadinejad, whose proxy army Hizbullah is now waging war against Israel, has promised to respond to European and American demands to cease his country's illicit nuclear programs on August 22. On Tuesday he rejected a UN Security Council resolution that would give Iran until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment.

Lailat al Miraj (27 Rajab, 22 August 2006)
The festival is celebrated by telling the story of how the Prophet Muhammad was visited by two archangels while he was asleep, who purified his heart and filled him with knowledge and faith.

According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet travelled from Mecca to Jerusalem in a single night on a strange winged creature called Buraq. From Jerusalem he ascended into heaven lighting up the skies over the holy city in his wake. In heaven, he met the earlier prophets, and eventually God.

During his time in heaven Muhammad was told of the duty of Muslims to recite Salat (ritual prayer) five times a day.

Answer 2

There is all sorts of trade going on between almost all the nations of the world. There are oceans to cross, whole continents , any and every type of barrier and terrain, but trade goes on.
The rockets that are blowing up Israeli towns, killing whoever happens to be in the way are definately from Iran. The newspapers have shown pictures of them listing the types and models.
So far, I haven't heard by what route the rockets were delivered to Lebanon. If it's known, it was of such little importance or interest that it wasn't mentioned.
