Iran appoints Hezbollah leader as its "representative to Lebanon"

Iran and Hezbollah don't even pretend that Hezbollah is independent.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei named Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem as his “representative” in Lebanon, Iranian media reported Wednesday.

The previous "representative" was, by amazing coincidence, the late leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

The announcement said that Qassam is Iran's representative in "accounting matters, legal aspects,  the disbursement of the likes of zakat" as well as promoting Shia Islam among the "deviants" who do not follow their form of Islam.

So, Iran still plans to send lots of money to Hezbollah.

When we say Hezbollah is Iran's proxy, it isn't just an expression. It is a formal relationship. 

Which makes Hezbollah's pretense of caring about Lebanon and its people all the more clownish.
