Huh?

I don't know what to make of this:

An unnamed source close to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi confirmed the involvement of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in the assassination plot against the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Al Arabiya reported Nov. 2. The unnamed source said Salehi’s comments came during a recent meeting with Mohammed Nahavandian, former assistant at the National Security Council and the current president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The source quoted Salehi as saying the plot was about to be implemented and it was not fabricated by U.S. authorities.

In other words: "You're damn right we're plotting acts of war on US soil!" or alternatively "What are you gonna do about it, Obama...loser?"

UPDATE: Wow. Now we have this. Has the unclenched hand been swatted and singed so bad that it is now clenched and cocked? RTWT, as Ed has all your irony and a full scale run-down of the political hypocrisy at play in re Iran.

UPPDATE: Reporting coming through on Drudge suggests that Bibi was planning to attack and retired Mossad chief Meir Daggan leaked the plans to the press to scuttle the attack. This, IMO, is laughable. I don't think the Israelis are capable of something so clumsy when it comes to the existential threat that is Iran. I think this is a ruse to see if Iran gives up any clues - evasive hardening of sensitive sites, asset repositioning, etc. - as to what they'd do if an attack was imminent. Or it may be an attempt to draw the US and the Brits into a good cop role but a confrontational one nonetheless. This will be really interesting to follow, nothing is what it seems, I am sure of it.
