Norooz 2007 was used to stage a major provocation (the seizure of the British sailors).

Iranian state media speculated about a year ago that the Mahdi might appear during Norooz.

tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War
“a Tet nuclear 911”
But it also could just have meant “Mahmoud Atef” (Abu Hafs al-Masri)

Of course, many of the nuclear threats in 2003-2004 were issued in the name of the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades.
