Iran unhappy with Israel-Hezbollah cease fire?

From Debka, so take it for what it is worth:

After UN Security Council resolution 1701 calling for a truce was carried Friday, Aug. 11, the heads of the regime received two separate evaluations of the situation in Lebanon,– one from Iran's foreign ministry and one from its supreme national security council. Both were bleak: their compilers were concerned that Iran had been manipulatively robbed of its primary deterrent asset ahead of a probable nuclear confrontation with the United States and Israel.

While the foreign ministry report highlighted the negative aspects of the UN resolution, the council's document complained that Hizballah squandered thousands of rockets,– either by firing them into Israel or having them destroyed by the Israeli air force.

This story indicates that Hezbollah blew through a lot of rockets-and Iranian money-with very little return. It also pays to keep this in the back of one's mind as the days and weeks go by:

The article has a ton of information and I recommend reading it, if only to be used as background information as time passes. It also claims that there is an American-Israeli plan to strike Iran's reactors and that Iran regards Israel's efforts against Hezbollah, decried as a failure by some, as having seriously degraded Hezbollah's capabilities.
