The Truth Bites Oblivious Iran In the Ass

On July 16th, this appeared on FoxNews.com:

Iran on Sunday denied Israeli claims that it had troops stationed in Lebanon and that it helped Hezbollah fire Iranian-made rockets at Israel andone of its warships, saying the guerrilla group could defend itselfwithout outside help.

"There are no [Iranian] guards there. Shipment of[Iranian] missiles to Hezbollah is also not correct," Foreign Ministryspokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters Sunday.

What a difference a week makes:

The bodies of Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers killed by the Israeli army in Lebanon have been transported to Syria and flown to Tehran
, senior Lebanese political sources said.

Israeli and Egyptian security officials confirmed the news, which follows a report that first appeared in The New York Sun, that Iranian forces posted to southern Lebanon have been aiding Hezbollah terrorists in their attacks against Israel, including helping to fire rockets into Israeli population centers.

The Lebanese sources said between six and nine dead Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers were brought in trucks last week into Syria for a flight back to Iran.
