Hizbullah and Iranian media

Hizbullah and Iranian media have never been dumber.  Iranian media and government insists that Israel was behind it: while I would never ever absolve Israel from any crimes in the region, from the maghrib to the mashriq and the gulf--given its history and present--, the Iranian government was intent on not blaming Saudi Arabia.  And when you blame Israel you fail to mention that Israel and Saudi Arabia are close allies in all that is going on in the region.  The two regimes now have a unified terrorist command center, for potato's sake, for Syria, Lebanon and beyond.  Hizbullah media arrogantly declared that the goals of the terrorists were not fulfilled and that they failed.  This is as dumb as Hizbullah's insistence over the last few years that sectarian fitnah in the region has failed when it was only marching forwards with more momentum.  When Hizbullah expresses satisfaction with developments, one has to worry.
