IS IRAN STILL ATTEMPTING TO INFLUENCE HAMAS?

Several months ago, it was very clear Hamas  pulled away from the Syrian / Iranian orbit.

Anyone who understands the dynamics of the region understands the move by the Muslim Brotherhood to pull the Sunni proxy back into the Sunni world and away from the Persians and the Shia.

Abbas's struggle with Hamas was addressed and words were spoken to placate the MB.

Nothing was solved, but the MB could push the issue to the back burner while they finished their drive to control Egypt.

So, how is it that Iran is making a play to influence Hamas once again?

Is Iran trying to show the MB just how important they are to the region?

Is Iran trying to keep Hamas and Abbas in turmoil?

Is Iran's theory, "if we can't have them, nobody can"?

How this next week will be interesting to watch.

If this is Hamas, secretly trying to play both sides of the fence and the MB still thinks they had something to do with the attack in the Sinai, then we will see the reaction.

Double Cross is the favorite game played in the Middle East and the MB will not take it with a smile.

Oh by the way, time is running out to defuse the events in Lebanon.

If someone doesn't get that situation under control within the next few days, the NAM meeting will be overcome by "events".
