Yes, in this case ‘tentacles’ and and ‘attachments” are interchangeable. I can also perceive of their being pressure applied to the choices Iran has to make. But, to use a quote of big al gore the clowns have “no controlling legal authority” over Iran that I can see.

I believe the Mullahs of Iran have some kind of attachment to our Deep State and the global cabal.

Recall, if you will, the shutting down of the "Green Revolution" in Iran. It entailed some social media shutdown, if I'm not mistaken. Also, the Obama people shutting down the investigation into Hezbollah's drug running operations. And the millions in cash Obama sent to Iran. To name just a few of the possible CIA and Obama entanglements with Iran.

Yea, I do think [Iran] may be a CIA/Deep State asset/client-state. Whichever term you want to use.

Just my theory. :)
