#2 Even if they're employed by al-Quds or some other Iranian military organization, if they're smuggling large amounts of hard drugs, they won't be distinguishable from members of a criminal smuggling gang for long. Look at the Mexicans & the Zetas. Third-World military discipline breaks down fast in the presence of loose cash, illegal drugs, and covert conditions.

I have to wonder how much of this sort of thing has already happened within the Iranian military, and just how hollowed out they are by it.

#3 getting caught smuggling drugs in Iran will get you a death penalty. Our Iranian "friends" should have no problem with milking these criminals for info then executing them, correct?
