Capture of Iranian Agent

Germany’s Deutsche Welle reports that Tehran has condemned the arrest of an Iranian by US forces in the northern Iraqi city of Sulaymanyah. An Iranian government spokesman said however that the man was a member of a visiting commercial delegation that had entered Iraq legally. As reported from a number of sources, the U.S. asserts that this individual is part of Iranian special military forces known as the QUD. Well so what?
While the U.S. touts the exploits and use of its Rangers, Seals and Special Forces (under the command of “special ops”) with accompanying proclamations as to the importance of this group of elite fighting men in the cause of fighting the war on terrorism. Under the rubric of “national interest” the U.S. currently has special ops personnel planted in a number of countries in Africa and are currently in support of Ethiopia’s invasion of Somalia.
Why does the United States in consort with the media, scream foul when Iran, acting in its national interest supports those confronting U.S. forces in Iraq? Not only does it scream foul, it screams loud enough and long enough to establish Iran as a demon and the next threat to the U.S., ergo grounds for some sort of military action against Iran.Keep an eye on developments over time.
Stay informed
