Just part of the plot to seize Iranian energy reserves. Pfft, this Golam guy sold me a shawarma an hour ago. Same BS as 9/11.

Iran will just say the American are lying and making things up. Doesn't make things any easier.

Ah! It all makes sense now:

Iranian assassination plot + US government + Israeli and Saudi embassies + Tom Clancy = Dec. 21, 2012

Inside the United States. Holy smokes. ####'s getting real. And with all this maneuvering around Syria with Turkey installing a NATO radar, China (of all nations!) and Russia actually speaking out against Syria, Turkey conducting military operations along its border, Iran threatening Turkey about the radar . . .

I can see the point of blowing the Israelis because, you know, Jews are bad. But what is the purpose of blowing up the SA's? To get the SA's upset at Americans?
Doesn't make sense.

Doesn't make sense.
Abdullah despises Iran, and vice versa. He's accused Iran numerous times of trying to meddle in Arab affairs, and, if you recall during the WikiLeaks fiasco, cables were leaked where he was trying to actively encourage strikes against Iran by the US.
