Iranians volunteer to fight Israel-The first wave.

Volunteers pray outside a Tehran cemetery on Wednesday before heading to Lebanon

Iran has this to say.

Iran says it will not send regular forces to aid Hezbollah, but apparently it will not attempt to stop volunteer guerrillas. Iran and Syria are Hezbollah's main sponsors.

Who's going to arm them?

Organizers said the volunteers are carrying no weapons, and it was not clear whether Turkey would allow them to pass.

And this guy reckons they are just the first wave.

"We are just the first wave of Islamic warriors from Iran," said Amir Jalilinejad, chairman of the Student Justice Movement, a nongovernment group that helped recruit the fighters. "More will come from here and other Muslim nations around the world. Hezbollah needs our help."

Israel better watch out for this guy.

Other volunteers, such as 72-year-old Hasan Honavi, have combat experience from the 1980-88 war with Iraq.

So do you think there will be a build up of volunteers to fight Israel?

I guess it makes no odds whether they take weapons with them or pick them up later once they get to Lebanon, they all come from the same place anyway don't they.

Also, the pic here shows a bit of a mixed bunch to say the least, but whats to stop Iran using this as an oppurtunity to send a few special forces down there amongst them?

CX.

This iranian president continues to make excellent remarks about his ambitions.
With all the buearucratic crap, laws, restrictions, western media.. he effictvley has managed to send AID ( weapons, cash and supplies ) to the front line against israel.
He has now also happens to have some of his fellow country men, 'volunteer' to fight for them selves, in defence of lebanon.
Why does turkey fathom in ?

Syria, will arm these men to the teeth. effictivley suicide bombers, or resitance fighters. Will irans president claim that once people are on a mission outside of there borders, how are they to control the weapons 'other' militias supply them.


IS this another kidney punch by iran, another carrot to try and strike agaisnt syria?
They waited, waited and waited until they had the system worked out, they ordered there militia to snatch 2 israeli soilders,
that didnt work, so now volunteers, people which the Iran government cannot RESTRICT travelling, have magically decided to give there lifes up and FIGHT against israel?

The arab world is ready to take on Israel. They are just provoking them, poking them with a stick hoping they make 1 wrong move which brings the whole region into chaos.
