Iran Orders Terrorist Attacks on Saudi Interests Worldwide

2011-03-21

The Iranian leaders, furious over the Saudi intervention in Bahrain and what they call crimes against the Shiites of that country, have openly created centers to recruit volunteers for suicide bombings against Saudi Arabia's interests worldwide.

Several grand ayatollahs in Iran have issued a fatwa for Muslims to come to the aid of their Shiite brothers in Bahrain, who they claim are suffering horrific crimes from their government in collaboration with the Saudi armed forces. They further emphasized that the people of Bahrain have every right to demand freedom and their fair share from the state.
$5 oil and more lack of American leadership coming up!

Seriously, this will give the west and the Arabs more than enough reason to gang up on Iran. If only we had a President worth a shit to lead. I would even take Clinton back at this point...

#6 No surprise here, as I'd been wondering how long it would take IRAN + HEZBOLLAH to exploit the the various regional "Jasmine" Protests, + bust-a-move [PCorrrect-Deniable] agz the KSA.

TEHRAN MAY HAD BEEN PUBLICLY RANTING OER GCC INTERVENTION IN MOSTLY SHIA BAHRAIN, BUT THEIR REAL TARGET/FOCII WAS THE SAUDIS + HOW TO STRIKE AGZ SAME.

Iff true this is an informal, but tacit, declaration of war by Shia Iran agz the Sunni Saudis - INFAMOUS HOWEVER, the Saudis, as Guardian + Protector of the [universal]Islamic Holy Places, are mostly abridged as such from taking any direct = strong Milaction [offensive] agz fellow Muslim Iran???

Again, GWOT > is as much an INTER-MUSLIM WAR FOR CONTROL OF ISLAM + DESIRED OWG CALIPHATE [NUclear?], ETC, AS ANYTHING ELSE.

SAUDIS = JAPAN = being allowed by the International Community + UNO to not only possess indigenous NUCWEAPS, BUT ALSO TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN INTERNAT EXTRA-BORDER ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING "OFFENSIVE" MIL OPERATIONS + INTERVENTIONS????

Test of "Globalism" for the Saudis, + in more ways than one.

#5 Um, no, Water Modem, this has nothing to do with Libya. It's posturing over the invasion/crackdown in Bahrain. The Iranians were sort-of supporting a Shia uprising, and the Saudis invaded with a fig-leaf invitation from the threatened Sunni monarch of that flyspeck. It's a Gulf thing.

#3 Importantly, the way the Iranians do things is to let the hot heads spew, but with no official government backing, so that if it turns out more than they bargained for, they can disavow it, and claim that the hot heads were speaking out of turn.

In high risk brinkmanship, they will try to cover the whole gamut as insurance, so no two Iranian leaders will say the same thing.

#2 Hold it. Syria supports Gaddafi.
Syria is a client state of Iran.
Therefore, it is logical that Iran supports Gaddafi.
Gulf states and Jordan are supporting the bombing campagin. They are clients of the Saudis.
Therefore Iran sees the Saudis as behind the attack on it's friend Gaddafi?

I know it's the MidEast so logic isn't logic... just trying to figure out the various entanglements...

Perhaps quantum entanglements?
