Years ago I meet a businessman in the US of Iranian origin . Charismatic , wealthy , good men . We became friends . Once , in our conversation he said he would help my cousins to find nice jobs in the US' medias , if they are Muslims . Because he was one of the main Jihadists who beheaded Christians ( Serbs ) in Bosnia in former Yugoslavian war . I was shocked : but he is Iranian , and they love Christians , they are not Jihadists !? No , he said , Iranian always ''protect'' their Sunni brothers from Christians . He said befriended me as I am a Christian , because we liked the same jokes , but he would kill me if I was among Christians in Bosnia . That facts killed our friendship , but that is less important . The aim of my short narration was to show that not all Iranians are our friends . They have bad relations with Israel for their own reasons . Nevertheless many of them are not friends of Christians . Also , it's important to know that in the last two decades Christianity is secretly spreading among Iranians , Turks and Saudis , even among American Jews . I know that from my personal sources .

'' When they traveled to Sarajevo: Hezbollah's unknown war in Bosnia Opinion by Ali Yahya, Thursday, February 4, 2016
“We, brothers, went to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the best of our youth, we had camps... This may be the first time we speak on this issue with such clarity. We fought and fell as martyrs, defending whom, the Sunni Muslims in Bosnia” (from a speech by the Secretary-General Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on 5/25/2013). The announcement was the clearest from Hezbollah, even after a while. “Where we should be, we will be,” she appeared in the field before the pulpit, so her actions preceded her words by years. Before Syria, Iraq and Yemen, there was Sarajevo and Palestine. There are no continental time limits for the decision upon its attendance. The activities of Hezbollah and its successor, the “Revolutionary Guards”, the first commander of the peacekeeping forces in Bosnia, Canadian General Lewis Mackenzie, had expressed his annoyance at them, and his concern about the implications of some of its possible methods in southern Lebanon, during discussions about expanding the United Nations operating force shortly after the aggression. July...so what's the story?
Fragments of the beginning... to Sarajevo turn
An expected war statement was issued by the Iranian Armed Forces on November 5, 1992, declaring full readiness to assist the Bosnians and engage with them in the fight against the Serbs. This came as a result of the failure of containment efforts and the increase in massacres. After a preliminary memorandum submitted by Iran two weeks ago through its representative to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, Dr. Salah Zakna, to cancel the arms embargo, less than a week later, a first attempt was made by Iranian diplomacy, through its Foreign Minister, to break the siege of Bosnia, but NATO forces prevented him from entering. Countries allied with the United States, such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, tried to join the line of supporting the Bosnians with weapons to block the way to the Iranians, but the negativity of Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic towards Ataturkism and the Saudi model of governance led to “the Bosnian government turning much more towards Iran” (Ces Wipes, author of the book “Intelligence and War in Bosnia». Begovic landed in Tehran in 1992, and he and the Democratic Action Party, which he headed, were early influenced by its revolution, which was its second ideological tributary after the Muslim Brotherhood. He had previously participated, through envoys before him, in its anniversary in 1982, which led to his arrest for the second time during the era of Josip Tito (whose death ushered in the era of the disintegration of Yugoslavia). The Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah duo invested their cumulative experience to begin forming a Bosnian military structure capable of defending itself and regaining its lands. Arms shipments were also supplied to the Croats, in turn, during the stages of the “non-conflict” with the Bosnians.

It was mentioned in a paragraph from a letter to a UN report that fifty trainers and advisors from Hezbollah and the Islamic Tawhid Movement arrived on November 9, 1992 to organize the ranks of Bosnian fighters after they left through the port of Tripoli in northern Lebanon. The Washington Times also reported on June 2, 1994, citing American intelligence sources, that 400 members of the Revolutionary Guard arrived in May of the same year, in addition to about 350-400 who were present there. The number of Revolutionary Guard men who entered Bosnia and Herzegovina is estimated at between 3,000 and 4,000 volunteers, not to mention about 400 who came from the Lebanese Bekaa and turned Bosnia and Herzegovina into training camps that they managed, residing mainly in Zenica in central Bosnia. Regarding the effectiveness of these people, Professor Kayes Vibes (1) says that “the role of the foreign mujahideen in the Bosnian war was small, but it was an important role,” as the Revolutionary Guard forces “contained tough fighters, and carried out specific operations as surprise shock forces that launched lightning attacks” and Hezbollah fighters. “Their duties were in close combat, and their skill and experience were simply too valuable to be wasted on other, less complex types of combat,” as described in a report by Loren Miter and Borcu Akan for the Institute of Peace. The infrastructure established by the Guard was also used for logistical and human supplies “to bring in volunteers of various nationalities, also from Afghanistan, Chechnya, Yemen, and Algeria,” and to train them to fight, as Andrew Given Marshall mentioned in “The Origins of World War III.” The infrastructure was also invested in the opposite direction by facilitating the travel of Bosnian fighters to Iran to train there, which was considered “the greatest threat to the West,” as a high-ranking European military official and officer told the New York Times on 3/3/1996.
