Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was among those injured by the pager explosions on Tuesday, Iran’s Mehr news agency reported.

Attacking ambassadors is a great way to become an international piriah.

Communication with whom? These pagers were ordered by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is a legitimate political party in Lebanon, with millions of voters.

It just says he was injured, which could happen if you were in close proximity to someone wearing one of the pagers. News here showed one of the explosions occurring in a grocery store, with plenty of people nearby, for example.

Hezbollah exclusive? Were the walkie talkies Hezbollah exclusive? They are just devices with a specific function

Talk about working backwards from a conclusion. Can you do the same for the little girl that was also killed? I would be further impressed by your gymnastics to conclude she deserved it as well.
