The Manzarieh camp in N/Tehran was #Iran’s 1st major #terrorist camp in 1981. They brought in foreign trainers such as #Palestinians, #Syrians, N/ Koreans & even 300 Farsi speaking #KGB agents in Iranian uniforms to export the Islamic Revolution to create chaos in the Arab world. Image
Might that chaos include assassinating Lebanon’s Maronite leader Bachir Gemayel in 1982 ? A #Syrian was arrrested. #Syria has been allied to #Iran. Iran’s #Shia Revolution was definitely a big moment in Lebanon. The Soviets, #Iran and #Syria all had interests in #Lebanon.
Massive chaos followed the assassination of young #Gemayel who demanded the ouster of Syrian forces and the #PLO. He had rebuked an offer by the #KGB to assist the Maronites in return for #Soviet bases.
