Nasrallah and yesterday’s hymn sheet

Is Hassan Nasrallah a “Zionist agent”? Normally, the answer should be: God, forbid! And, yet, this was the charge leveled against him last week by, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Jamaleddin Abroumand. The general was commenting on reports about the penetration of an unknown drone into Israel’s air space. Seizing every opportunity to praise his paymasters in Tehran, Nasrallah had rushed to his TV studio to claim that the drone had been made in Iran and sent to Lebanon as part of a strategy to keep Israel under pressure. The general did not mention Nasrallah by name; but his remarks included big hints about the intended target. Is Hassan Nasrallah a “Zionist agent”? Normally, the answer should be: God, forbid!
