Press TV has conducted an interview with Jim W. Dean, managing editor of Veterans Today, about a Hezbollah lawmaker saying Israel and Saudi Arabia could be behind the terrorist attacks outside Iran Embassy in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut.

- Mr. Dean, the first question that comes to mind is that why the Iranian Embassy and not another?

- Well...the timing was perfect and we had the usual suspects. Both Saudi Arabia and Israel are very unhappy because they are now pulling all the strings in what is going on here and so this was their little way of showing that we are still here.

Israel and Saudi Arabia are the two most active terrorist organizations in the Middle East. They have tremendous experience on Israel side and they have unlimited funding on Saudi Arabia side. So, for this to happen on the eve of the talks, were just sending a message that if we are unhappy we can do lots and lots of bombings and it is basically a challenge to them; you cannot stop us unless you give us what we want.

- Of course you mentioned the fact that many fingers are pointing to Saudi Arabia and Israel. But just how and what would they gain from such acts of terrorism?

- Well they are just wanting to show you are doing something like this for spite, just to show that you are not ignored and to threaten that you can create turmoil in a lot of states, even though things are getting quieted down in Syria.

And they are sending a message that even though you think you may make some progress here on Iran, there are those of us out here that can create all kinds of problems for you because we know how to do it, because we have a long history of using violence and really [when it comes to] both Israel and Saudi Arabia, who in the West is going to do anything?

So it is almost like they have a free pass to do it and that is something the public is taking an eye on it now because Saudi Arabia is really sticking their necks out here by taking the lead. They have done a lot of what they have done in the background and they have come public now and that puts them at more risk than things that I think they really are not considering and they should.
