![]() Iranian / Hezbollah Land Purchases "It is a rare, even abnormal, condition for a country to invade property of another state in order to carry out its expanded projects," said PSP spokesman Rami Rayess in a statement published by the daily An Nahar on Sunday. PSP Challenges MP Skaff to Prove He Did Not Sell Land to Iran Walid Jumblat's Progressive Socialist Party demanded that the head of the Popular Bloc MP Elie Skaff provide evidence that he did not sell land to Iran. "It is a rare, even abnormal, condition for a country to invade property of another state in order to carry out its expanded projects," said PSP spokesman Rami Rayess in a statement published by the daily An Nahar on Sunday. Jumblat had accused Skaff of selling 600,000 square meters of land to Iran's ambassador. The PSP statement claimed that MP Hassan Yaqoub, a member in the Popular Bloc as well as Skaf's son "are fully aware of the deal that was cut with Iran's ambassador to Damascus Mohammed Hasan Akhtari." It accused Akhtari of "closely operating Hizbullah projects in Lebanon and pursuing details of the Hizbullah project which aims at creating a state within the state." Referring to a request by Skaff that Jumblat provides evidence that he sold "vast areas of land," Rayess said: "Quite the opposite, it's MP Skaff who is required to prove that he did not sell these properties." from Naharnet, Beirut, 26 Aug 07, 09:02 http://www.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/getstory?openform&E1A5818A5C25EA2AC22573430038B77E ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video showing Elie Skaff on LBC saying he did not sell his land to foreigners or Hezbollah. The Concern is that Elie Skaff - did he sell this land directly to a Foreign Force (Iran) or did he have the knowledge of a middle man acting on behalf of the Iranians - the bottom line is this - You are either a Countryman that upholds the Motherland or you are a homeless business man.

The Map according to Al Hadath was obtained from British Parliamentarian sources , but the newspaper did not name the sources. According to the British sources, Hezbollah plans to officially declare the canton as soon as the Lebanese decide to disarm Hezbollah based on UN resolution 1559. The size and shape of the canton was agreed upon by Iran with recommendations from Syria . This perhaps explains why Hezbollah is amassing real estate north of the Litani river and why Walid Jumblatt is questioning this move Several reports circulated in Iran and Lebanon during the summer which revealed the desire of Iran’s supreme leader to declare an Islamic republic in Lebanon . Some reports even suggested that the Iranian leader already ordered Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to declare the establishment of the Islamic state soonest possible regardless of its size.
