TONY Blair last night branded Iran and Syria as masterminds of Middle East terror.
He blamed this dangerous axis of evil for orchestrating unprovoked attacks on Israel.
Then, sensationally, he blasted sinister Iranian President Ahmadinejad for supplying identical missiles to attack British squaddies in Basra.
This stunning charge irrevocably links Britain and Israel as allies in the war on terror.
And it joins all the dots in the complex events which threaten to engulf the Middle East.
Mr Blair bluntly rejected charges that Israel has over-reacted to provocation.
"These were acts of terrorism designed to provoke the very response that followed," said Mr Blair.
The PM spoke with feeling as thousands of frightened UK citizens were evacuated from shattered Lebanon by RAF helicopter and navy warships.
The airlift comes amid mounting international condemnation of Iran and Syria.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt have condemned the Iran-Syria axis. Even Russian ally Vladimir Putin refuses to support them openly.
If Iran and Syria are to be reined in, these are the key players.
Tony Blair’s performance was a return to form by a Prime Minister at his best in a crisis.
It left Tory leader David Cameron with little to offer but a few questions and fewer answers.
And it revealed the yawning gap between this seasoned statesman and the callow opponent who wants his job.
