The still unproven claim has since been used to poison relations between Tehran and Canberra.

Iran’s greatest achievement in its 12 day war with Israel was in reviving the Spider Web theory Hasan Nasrallah introduced after Israel’s 2000 withdrawal from southern Lebanon. During his speech proclaiming victory over the Israeli occupiers, the late Hezbollah General Secretary argued that because of its colonial nature, Jewish Israeli society would fracture under sustained military pressure, forcing serious concessions from its […]
