Look at this picture (from days ago when Nasrallah went on a secret trip to Iran) posted on the twitter account of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It confirms what I have been telling you for years: Nasrallah is not like previous leaders of Hizbullah and is not treated by Iranian regime as a mere agent or tool, like Subhi Tufayli was or Ibrahim Sayyid. This picture to my knowledge is quite unprecedented: people are usually photographed with Khamenei as they are seated. I don't recall one like this in which they appear as equals. Any analysis of Hizbullah and of Iranian policies in the region should take this into consideration. From the picture it seems that Khamenei requested the picture and not Nasrallah.
