I know that some of you who read the title of this post were expecting to read about some move against Iran's nuclear weapons. That has not happened, and, if president Obama gets his way, it will never happen. No, the Iranian embassy in Beirut was blown up by terrorists earlier today. Here is how the news was first reported in the Jerusalem Post:
Two explosions, at least one caused by a suicide bomber, rocked Iran's embassy in Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 23 people, including an Iranian cultural attache, and hurling bodies, cars and debris across the street.
A Lebanese-based al-Qaida-linked group known as the Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for what it described as a double suicide attack on the Iranian mission in southern Beirut.
This blast is retaliation against the Iranians for their support of Bashir Assad in Syria. Al Qaeda is a Sunni group while Assad and the Iranians are Shiites. The hatred between the two groups is overwhelming.
