IRAN is threatening to retaliate in Europe for what it claims is a daring undercover operation by western intelligence services to kidnap senior officers in its Revolutionary Guard.
According to Iranian sources, several officers have been abducted in the past three months and the United States has drawn up a list of other targets to be seized with the aim of destabilising Tehrans military command.
In an article in Subhi Sadek, the Revolutionary Guards weekly paper, Reza Faker, a writer believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, warned that Iran would strike back.
Weve got the ability to capture a nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks, he said. Iran has enough people who can reach the heart of Europe and kidnap Americans and Israelis.

That makes 3 altogether?
"We are clearly involved in an array of clandestine actions including plucking key leaders, bombings in the country, grabbing leaders in Iraq, instigating strikes and revolts in the country."
This is not D.U. FACTS please. Cite web references, video records, or debriefs of actual U.S. operatives. Anything you can provide to support the statement "we are clearly involved.."
I pay attention to many things, and have friends that would know of such actions, and nothing seems to support your statements.
So help us out and support your statements.
Maybe they defected...
I'd be far more likely to believe that Mossad did it than anyone else. And good for them, too. It would be kind of funny if an Iranian hit squad somewhere in Europe was found dead with their weapons and plans laid out for anyone to see.
Isn't Imanutjob coming to the UN in New York? Why don't we grab him too!
Agreed...unless MadMood makes a foolhardy decision.

I believe they are clandestine. Hence, it seems likely that this info will be found on the cover of the Washington Post. Nonetheless, many analysts do speculate that the recent explosions in Iran have been assisted by the US and its allies.
An example of such speculation:

Explosions in Iran
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), recognized as terrorists by the US, has long been conducting actions against Iran under the name of PEJAK.
This group has thousands of members and is directly supported by the US administration, international sources say. Moreover, journalist Seymour Hersh, known for the information he obtains, said it was supported by the US and Israel. Keeping PEJAK as a network by which to bomb Iran by proxy does not benefit the US. It is also trying to increase the network's influence on the Kurds living in Iran. This may sound confusing but Kurdish groups in northern Iraq are uneasy about this move because it increases their already existing security concerns.

NASUH? GÖNGÖR, STAR
I am open to all of those possibilities that you mention.
My best guess is that we are providing financial assistance to any group that resists the clerical governance of Iran.
This could include radicals in the south and teachers unions in Tehran.
I think there are enough disgruntled souls and an increasingly restless economy to make it all come together for us.
To quote (or perhaps paraphrase) the line from "The Maltese Falcon" - the cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.
Sam Spade to the gunsel Wilmer, a direct quote and terrific line.
Threat or promise?
FWIW, the method of delivery makes it deniable.
Time will tell.
