Do a simple search of "Iranian Guard", and you'll find a lot of articles about Israel demanding that the Iranian Guard withdrawl from southern Lebanon. For instance, this article dated 06/03/2005 states:
"Israel has informed a number of countries, including the United States and France, that the demand for the withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanon, in keeping with the United Nations Security Council decision, will not be complete if it doesn't also lead to the departure of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps members, who have been in Lebanon for a long time and are providing assistance to Hezbollah's military wing."

Thus, it seems very probable that the Iranian Guard fired their own missiles from southern Lebanon. This is a very believable story (seems mostly likely to be true, although not yet confirmed). I'm sure that CNN and FoxNews are hesitating to print this story on their sites until further confirmation, as this would have HUGE implications. Once something is in print, it's hard to take back....

I found a link to what I heard on NBC tonite re: Iran in Lebanon....

"Analysts say there are two possible reasons and they are not mutually exclusive. Israel wants to keep Iranian arms from getting in and Israeli captives from being flown out.

Beirut Airport has long been key to Iran's supply of all kinds of material to Hezbollah. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has supplied Hezbollah with more than $1 billion of supplies over the past 25 years, say U.S. intelligence officials, as much as $150 million a year during tense times. The majority of it is flown in on an Iranian 747 cargo jet that unloads at Beirut Airport, where Hezbollah agents pick it up and drive it to the Bekkah valley south of the Lebanese capital. Anti-aircraft batteries, Katyusha rockets, armored vehicles, small arms, anti-tank missiles, etc. have all been sent. Beirut is the only airport in Lebanon capable of handling that 747. The initial deployment was in 1982 with planes bringing in supplies as needed. By the 1990s the flights had fallen to a quarterly routine. With Hezbollah under fire in Israel, now would be a time to resupply."
