TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Hizbollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide.
"We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.
"They have been trained and they can become fully armed. We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests. We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light to take action. If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said.
Iranian religious organisations have made great public show of recruiting volunteers for "martyrdom-seeking operations" in recent years, usually threatening U.S. interests in case of any attack against the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.
But there is no record of an Iranian volunteer from these recruitment campaigns taking part in an attack.
Iran's Hizbollah (Party of God) says it is spiritually bound to Shi'ite Muslim guerrillas in Lebanon but its command structure and funding are unclear.
Despite Iranian Hizbollah's insistence that it takes orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, government ministries say Hizbollah does not implement official policy. Iran's government has said it hopes for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli offensive in Lebanon.
While Iran did fund and support Lebanese Hizbollah during the 1980s, Tehran says it has not contributed troops or weapons in the latest violence. Israel says Iranian armaments have been fired against it.
Big Deli?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....Hizbollah doesnt know pain till it understands a B-52 Carpet bombing an area they're crawling around in...
"We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.

Well, we have 2000 lb bombs for them.
At the risk of Liberal ire, I declare:
BRING IT ON!
"We are only waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light" SO ARE WE!
As an American I would like to say one thing. Bring em on. We'll make their day
Bring your A-game this time! :)
I'm willing to kill as many of them as I can.
If I remember correctly, they were claiming to have 50,000 volunteers earlier this year. They are so full of chit!
....Iran's Hizbollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and U.S. interests worldwide.
As President George W Bush would say
NO SH!T ......... BRING IT ON
"Tehran says it has not contributed troops or weapons in the latest violence..."
Like I heard someone tell alan colmes last night(who was defending hezbollah as usual):
"Yeah right they just built those little rockets and launchers in their backalley last night... all by themselves!!"
"We have 2,000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hizbollah's spokesman Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.
INteresting, that number is significantly less than the number of applications received for the new Meijer Store that just opened in town.
All of which makes it increasingly clear that there is great validity to the suggestion that the correct intervention in Iran is not an invasion, nor a massive bombing campaign to take out all suspected nuclear facilities, but applying the 'Dresden option' to Qom.
"Iran's government has said it hopes for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli offensive in Lebanon."
Very revealing.....they KNOW this particular operation of theirs is a loser unless it is interrupted by the appeasement crowd. Meanwhile, their nuke efforts continue, somewhat obscured by the Lebanon matter.
Guys, your leaders intend to defeat the Joooooooose by throwing your lifeless bodies at them. They care nothing for you except that you advance "the cause" of pushing Israel into the sea. You are lead by several sets of madmen.
yeah,sign up or die
