No one cares about the French, because they don't care about anyone else.

There are battles going on now in that city and Iran is blaming Americans and British for supporting Sunni rebels.
the numerous divisions within the country, their hatred of each other, the tribal factions, the numerous sects within islam will make Iran very difficult to hold together when the shiite hits the fan IMO. Here's hoping!
So would I if I were in their shoes! Anything but admit the rot is within. Furthermore how many sunni petrol exporting nations would be financially ruined if Nutjob started something and the Straits were closed?
I doubt if you need to lose any sleep over what 'American style' may or may not be. Islam, the cult of hate with its 73 sects of which only one will survive as the 'true islam' will take care of itself. Hopefully, they'll kill each other before they get to us.
I'm an aussie, if that's any excuse...please tell me, who is that an image of?
Yeah. All that. We might not be able to stop this even if we wanted to.
I gather that the vast majority of IRG are unreliable draftees, with only a few brigades of trustworthy fanatics. For this reason, the majority just stay in their barracks and are deluged with propaganda, with the few brigades are constantly on the move around the country, as muscle to suppress dissent.
This is why plane crashes in Iran often take out a plane full of IRG. And with such limited resources, any loyal IRG that get killed hurts the ruling mullahs very badly.
Days after Khomeini's return to Tehran, the Bazargan interim administration established the Pasdaran under a decree issued by Khomeini on May 5, 1979. The Pasdaran was intended to protect the Revolution and to assist the ruling clerics in the day-to-day enforcement of the new government's Islamic codes and morality. There were other, perhaps more important, reasons for establishing the Pasdaran. The Revolution needed to rely on a force of its own rather than borrowing the previous regime's tainted units. As one of the first revolutionary institutions, the Pasdaran helped legitimize the Revolution and gave the new regime an armed basis of support. Moreover, the establishment of the Pasdaran served notice to both the population and the regular armed forces that the Khomeini regime was quickly developing its own enforcement body. Thus, the Pasdaran, along with its political counterpart, Crusade for Reconstruction, brought a new order to Iran. In time, the Pasdaran would rival the police and the judiciary in terms of its functions. It would even challenge the performance of the regular armed forces on the battlefield.

Mossad?
......I don't think our intelligence agencies are smart enough .....
Perhaps you made an incorrect assumption. Perhaps it is not CIA but Special ops forces.
that 'assumption' arose in comment #17. I merely quoted from it in my reply.

The "announcer guy from the movies," Don LaFontaine. People recognize his voice from thousands of movie trailers he's done, but he's rarely seen on camera. The picture is from a GEICO insurance commercial in which he is hired to tell the story of a real GEICO customer. The customer says she got the check in two days, and he says, "Payback, this time it's for real."
