Yeah I agree with TBO. Maybe 20-25 years ago, it'd be hard to to think this was a CIA/DOD/Pent gig, but there's a lot of motivation amongst the council, the shah, and the scores of Amahdenajahd supporters in the government to really wipe out any of the progressive party members with any clout.
Read a good book about the CIA this past year, it's the first one taken soley from first hand accounts. The impression you get, especially moving into the past decade is how the CIA has lost a lot of its mojo. Hard getting Middle East experts in there, let alone anyone who speaks the languages. The massive intelligence failure surrounding 9-11 seems to have been something of a wake up call.
