Soltani traveled to Bandar Abbas [Iran’s largest port, home to the Revolutionary Guard’s largest naval base], where he was scheduled to inspect an intelligence listening post. Instead, he vanished…

CIA busy these days???
Intelligence is always good. But if ain't worth a hill of beans if you don't act on it. And it seems to me that we've decided we have our hands full in Iraq and don't want to pick a fight with the Persians.

we are buying them off, there isn't a muslim alive that won't go to highest bidder
Hell YEAH!
Or maybe these guys have seen Imanutjob's plans and don't want to be a part.
Gen. Seyed Mohammad Soltani. Gen. Soltani or General Asgari
could be the new national leaders of Iran. Something is afoot. I can well imagine the "leaders" or mad mullahs are worried.
Isn't it possible that Iran itself is behind this disappearance?
Giggle..Giggle..wonder if they are enjoying prime cut steaks..grilled to taste..or getting something else grilled?
Very interesting ping...
