Synopsis:

Analysts and reporters need to be careful to stick to the facts in covering Iran's role in the current fighting. A number of sources — including Israeli officials and officers — have begun to use the Lebanon crisis to find new reasons to attack Iran, partly because of the nuclear issue and partly because it is now seen as Israel's most serious enemy. The end result is blowing up suspicions and limited facts into full-blown conspiracies.
