#1 Hmmm.... State-sanctioned terror against the west, or maybe some protesters against the current regime? Only the gummint knows for sure.

#3 And this on the same day:

TEHRAN, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A gunman on a motorcycle shot dead the judge trying the case of Iranian dissident Akbar Ganji, judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimirad said on Tuesday.

Mere coincidence?

#4 The Brits are certainly popular at the mo'

remember the Iranin poster that was intent on sowing seeds of discontent between America and Britain - going on about the American Revolution? It was the first shot across the brow I guess. Interesting. I wonder why.

#5 An explosive device Tuesday rocked a building harboring foreign companies in central Tehran, causing damage but no injuries, the Iranian News Agency reports.

Couldn't they have targeted a building full of mullahs instead?

#6 Couldn't they have targeted a building full of mullahs instead?

Naw, you can dig magic mullahs out of rubble...

They are waiting for us, or Israel, to use the new super-deluxe particle/microwave weapon on the mullahs. Microwave cooks from the inside!

#7 I just wonder (hoping) that the US is conducting a top-to-bottom discombobulation of the entire Iranian nation. Literally thousands of agents all on a mission to be naughty. Agitating minorities, assassinating monsterous tyrants, disrupting and sabotaging trade and business, sewing distrust and disaffection, spreading disinformation and information, increasing popular discomfort, fomenting superstition and confusion. Oh, life can be good.

#8 AH, Anonymoose - those were the days!

What? 1955?

If we had two agents to rub together, we could make a fire....

But I hope other, less organized, forces are accomplishing the same thing!

#9 I hope the folks in whatever agency in Iraq have been able to find the folks who want the MMs gone as much as we do. Congrats and keep up the good work!

#10 Promote terror and that's what you will get. The prospect of financial loss probably never occured to them.

#11 I guess asking for a 10,000 meter mushroom cloud and massive blast and heat waves would be stretching things just a bit - nevertheless, I would love to hear about it. 'Couldn't hardly happen to a better candidate city.

#12 No western business has any legitimate business in Iran. SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS.
