Israel's Border with Iran
(Sky News-UK) Tim Marshall - Israel has known for years that it has a de facto border with Iran - to the north in Lebanon. The President of Iran is heading there this week where he will be close enough to see Israeli houses and border guards. The route from Beirut to the south will be lined with Iranian flags, huge billboards bearing the beaming image of the President, and thousands of Lebanon's Shia Muslims responding to a call out from Hizbullah. The images this will produce could be construed as proof that southern Lebanon is a client "state" of Iran and the border is Iran's border, and front line, with Israel.
