Iran Watching UN's Seriousness on Lebanon
[Ha'aretz] Zvi Bar'el - A substantive international deployment of 15,000 soldiers in Lebanon is still only on paper. France is offering 200 soldiers, Finland or Denmark will also send several hundred, and perhaps Turkey will manage to overcome domestic opposition and dispatch a large force. The deployment of the force reflects the determination of the international community to implement UN Resolution 1701, and it would also be a deterrent against Syrian and Iranian involvement in Lebanon. However, when countries that initiated Resolution 1701 are beginning to distance themselves from it, it is doubtful whether anyone in Tehran attributes great importance to the Security Council.
