Why Tehran is Accommodating the Terrorist Group
Foreign Affairs, January 29, 2012

Article Summary and Author Biography

Phi Beta Iota:  There are two competing narratives, neither of which is properly researched and documented.  Narrative A (our tentative preference) has all of these Al Qaeda stories as part of a contrived joint Israeli-led but US supported disinformation campaign to justify armed force against Iran.  Narrative B (equally plausible, but the point is we do not actually know) has Iran — these are Persians, not ragheads — well-prepared to do asymmetric attacks via multiple channels including the remnants of Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda posers.  This would including exploding apartments in Tel Aviv.  We really don't know, and it is a rather important question.
