Hezbollah announces Israeli targets in case Iranian cargo ship is attacked

Will it change the fact that the cargo reached Lebanon or the route matter a lot?

By the way are you aware that USA already sanctioned this fuel and said they are working on finding alternate fuel for Lebanon, well probably in the next 2 to 3 year.

Lebanon doesn't have dollars to buy fuel, it's Lebanese banking situation. Any crude oil going to Syria is to be refined for Syria. Hassan Nasrallah explicitly stated these tankers will go to Lebanon and not Syria. US sanctions don't mean nothing. Never enforced. US sanctions on Iraq were 1,000 times worse than ones on Iran and actually enforced. US is okay with Iran selling oil to China and others in order to keep Iranian regime afloat and doesn't seek collapse of Iranian regime as per their own words.

Yes it does, as Hezbollah chief explicitly stated tankers will go to Lebanon. The tanker headed to Syria was originally intended for Syria and is crude oil to be refined there. If Lebanon gets it from Syria than Hezbollah chief made bluff just to boost popularity of Hezbollah while not engaging with Israel in any way. He is trying to make it appear there is active combat between them and Israel without ever fighting Israel. Because his party reputation without exploitation of Palestinian cause is one of an Iranian servant group whom serves Iranian interests in Muslim world.

To add to this, tanker going directly to Lebanon is threat for Israel as it can import weapons or technology needed for weapons in much more efficient and secure manner than through Syria. Going through Syria means no security threat as fuel will be unloaded and refined than shipped to Lebanon which is already happened and allowed in the past. No reason for Nasrallah to boast about Israel and make it a victory against Israel if Israel already didn't care.

Good to see that Lebanon is finally getting some badly needed fuel...
PERSIANS ONCE AGAIN PROVED TO BE THE REAL FRIENDS OF ARABS.

They get most of their fuel from elsewhere. And soon to get gas from Egypt:

Egypt to export gas to Jordan to secure electricity for Lebanon: Beirut


CAIRO – 19 August 2021: Cairo will send Egyptian natural gas to Jordan so that it can produce extra quantities of electricity and add them to the grid linking Jordan with Lebanon via Syria, a statement by the Lebanese Presidency revealed.

According to a presidential statement, United States to Lebanon Dorothy Shea informed Lebanese President Michel Aoun that her country will continue to support Lebanon to import electricity from Jordan through Syria.

Lebanese still have to pay for fuel from Iran. It's not 'help', it's business. And why you say Persians when you yourself said you are Iranian of Azeri origin?

That's good but I feel the threat should have come from Iran instead of hizbullah. The Israelis are just going to bomb the Lebanese infrastructure and than the people there would suffer.

Hizbullah would be able to hit back but realistically the Israeli citizens don't suffer nearly as much as the Lebanese would.

Iran, on the other hand, is not going to get attacked directly by the Israelis. The Israelis would fear proper retaliation given that Iran is a much stronger country and capable of hurting Israel to a much greater degree.
Time for Pakistan to focus on the Indo-Israeli nexus. If Israel can supply arms to India then Pakistan must supply arms to Palestine and Lebanon.

Lebanon even don't have border with Jordan its just doing business with Jordan and claiming its for helping Lebanon. and Lebanon get its weapon from Syria. so if any body wants to send weapon to Lebanon can easily do it from Syria , more importantly the plan is sending fuel to Lebanon not weapon

You don't seem to understand, Nasrallah explicitly stated tankers will arrive to Lebanon and presented it as a change in the military equation between them and Israel because of the sole reason of weapons/technology can be transported directly to Lebanon as well. And Hezbollah can circumvent some sanctions. It's Nasrallah's problem for not being true to his word if these tankers don't arrive in Lebanon. Was not wise of him to boast and make statements like that.

My understanding is that he said their oil belong to Lebanon . Nothing about weapon mentioned. By the way as far as I'm aware they very easily can get their weapons from Syria.

SHould've been doing that for your fellow Islamic brothers...but you ignored them for Saudi cash and other distraction agendas like wtf the US tells you to do. There is still time for Pakistan to disrupt the INdia-Israel nexus...

Did it go through Suez or did it have to go all the way around Africa?

It would be much easier to drive trucks through Iraq, Syria into Lebanon, but for now at least it's better than nothing.
East of Syria is not safe. But Yes, it could be a better chioce with the least cost.

Its not trade after all, it was done in an emergency.
