Latest Tension in Mid-East Designed to Shift Focus of G-8 Summit Away from Iranian Nuclear Program?

I was just reading on Debka File an interesting idea as to why the recent flare-up of violence against Israel by terrorist groups in Gaza and Lebanon.

"DEBKAfile’s Iranian sources report Tehran’s rationale as composed of three parts:
1. Iran shows the flag as a champion and defender of its ally, Hamas.
2. Sending Hizballah to open a warfront against Israel is the logical tactical complement to its latest order to go into action against American and British forces in southern Iraq.
3. Tehran hopes to hijack the agenda before the G-8 summit opening in St. Petersberg, Russia on July 15. Instead of discussing Iran’s nuclear case and the situation in Iraq along the lines set by President George W. Bush, the leaders of the industrial nations will be forced to address the Middle East flare-up"

Here's the full article.

This is an interesting idea as to why this recent violence and could provide a window into what Iran's next move might be.

This is very possible. Iran would pull this sort of stunt, and they have people in place to escalate things in the area. Would not suprise me in the least.
