| From Haaretz Iran is secretly assisting Bashar Assad's repression of anti-government protests across Syria, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, adding that Tehran was also aiding Shi'te hardliners in Yemen and Bahrain. A State Department official said on Thursday that Washington was "troubled" by reports of Iran's links to the protests' suppression, saying it believed "that there is credible information that Iran is assisting Syria in quelling the protesters." [the fact that State Dept officials are talking to the press about it shows some possible incipient signs of intelligent life there - or maybe I'm just being optimistic]
