Analysis: Alleged Assassination Plot Doesn't Fit Past Iranian Behavior


Plot to kill Saudi ambassador with Mexican drug cartel's help would represent a brazen, new direction for both, which have avoided direct confrontation with the U.S.

  3. Iran is playing the US. Of course they set up this plot to be caught on purpose. All in order to continue to lure the US into a conflict they know we can't afford, don't have the political will to execute effectively, or the political advantage on the international stage to gain full support for. This all fits into Al Queda's strategy of wearing the US down slowly with multiple conflicts.

    But of course they wouldn't be thumbing their noses if we wouldn't have wasted so many resources in Iraq!
