Lebanese Analyst-IRI Diplomats
A Lebanese political analysts and head of Lebanese and Arabic Studies Research Institute said here Wednesday Israel's confession about kidnapped Iranian diplomats would have negative aftermaths for that regime.

Samir al-Khadem made the comment in an interview with IRNA correspondent in Beirut, adding, "Presenting the slightest amount of information about those diplomats by Israel would lead to revealing a lot of facts, and in order to remain safe and sound from entire negative aftermaths, the Zionist regime would try to fully conceal the realities related to this file."
He added, "What is for sure is that the best clues for those who are pursuing this matter inside Iran and at the international community is that the Iranian diplomats were kidnapped at a time when Lebanon was occupied by Israel, by a group that is known for serving Israeli interests in Lebanon."
Al-Khadem said, "Cooperation between the Lebanese Flange forces, led by Samir Jaja, and the Zionists is quite clear for everyone, and they are even known as Israel's mercenaries here."
They arrested the Iranian diplomats for sure, and handed them to the occupying Zionist forces, and the event thus far is known for everyone, which is why Israel cannot deny its responsibility for their fate."
The Lebanese researcher said that Israel is responsible for the lives of those diplomats and the Zionists cannot ward off that responsibility relying on presentation of a forged report to a UN representative in which realities are reflected 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

He added, "There are great chances that by concealing realities on the fate of those diplomats Israel is after taking political advantage of them in the future."
Al-Khadem considered the agreement reached between the Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel on exchange of prisoners as a great move and a pride for the resistance forces and the entire Lebanese nation and the Arab world, arguing, "This event once again prove the effectiveness of the resistance strategy for the Lebanese nation and the world.

Iran's then-charge d'affaires to Beirut Mohsen Mousavi, Iranian diplomat Taqi Rastegar-Moqaddam, the country's military attache Ahmad Motevasselian and IRNA photojournalist Kazem Akhavan were kidnapped in Beirut in 1982 while being escorted by the Lebanese police on their way back from a mission in northern Lebanon.

Concrete evidence indicates that the four Iranian diplomats are in Zionist regime captivity.

The Zionist regime agreed under an exchange deal with the Lebanese Hizbollah to disclose the details about the abduction of Iranian diplomats.
