Alarabiya.net reports, citing Iranian sources, on the tension prevailing recently between Tehran and Hizbullah, due to Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah's criticism of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's shaky relations with Arab countries.
Dr. Ali Norizadeh, an Iranian affairs expert residing in London, denied that there was any tension, pointing out the presence of a Hizbullah military delegation in Tehran and its cooperation with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Al-Qods Forces and with Eritrean brigades in training the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
He said that Hamas deputy leader and spiritual authority Na'im Qassim set out Hizbullah's policy, not Nasrallah.
