Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, the two Israeli soldiers taken hostage by Hizbullah last summer, have been transferred to Iran, London-based Arab language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported Sunday.
According to the report, the captives were transferred to Iran shortly after the kidnapping in a special operation overseen by a senior Revolutionary Guard commander.
A source at the headquarters of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told the newspaper that the planned release of an Iranian prisoner held In Germany could be related to a possible deal regarding the captives.
He claimed that as part of this German-Iranian deal, Germany would free Iranian intelligence officer Kazem Darabi, and in exchange the Israeli soldiers' remains would be handed over to Israel.
Last week, a French official told London-based al-Hayat that Israel was convinced that the soldiers were no longer alive. "Israel is convinced that the soldiers kidnapped by Hizbullah have been killed," the source told the paper.
Give Iran ten minutes warning twenty minutes after you’ve entered it’s territory Israel. Green light!
Iran, it’s time someone bitch slapped you back to reality.
Take out the nuclear sites and give Iran twelve hours to return your men. If that doesn’t work, take out every government building you can. After taking out his bedroom, include Adminawhackjob’s classroom.
HEAR,HEAR!!!
kick a$$ and take names.

"We hear these kind of things all the time. There is no corroborating evidence to these reports… we hope its just psychological warfare," she said.
Mickey said that the reports could be part of an Iranian attempt to "retaliate" for the humiliation President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suffered at the UN General Assembly last week, after Ehud's wife Karnit lashed out at him.
I'll agree with Goldwasser's mother, it sounds like typical stupid Iranian attempts at chain-jerking.
I’m certain the UN will move heaven and earth to make Iran release these men.
Maybe they can trade them for billions in oil.(sarcasm)
