| Summary: | If there is an emerging anti-US front in the Middle East led by Iran, Syrian elements in Iraq and a sprinkling of radical Islamic groups, then Hizbullah in Lebanon is an integral part of that front and Lebanon again at the fault lines of confrontation between Iran and the US, just as it was in the 1980s. In a way the Syrian-Iranian alliance is an offshoot of both countries' lengthy interaction with Lebanon. Lebanese-Iranian relations are deep-rooted and complex, not least because of the intricate links between Lebanon's Shia population and the largest Shia state in the region. Religion however is not the only basis of the relationship; many issues such as the policy toward the West, modernism and revolution have witnessed parallel developments in both contexts.
