Iran blames Israel and the U.S., which have denied involvement with it.

So, what's your explanation or guess?

Intelligence agencies in Israel and/or the United States.

No one wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb, except Iran. I'd say the Arab league would have a say, but seeing as Iranians are Persian, and not Arabs, and they don't like each other anyway, well...

Israel and the US but with the full support of the Sauds.

This is hardly new, there has been a cold war going on in the gulf for 6-7 years at least with Iran funding bombings against US troops and so forth.

No white hats there, just a plain old power struggle.

I personally believe it's CIA through and through. Israel has a vested interest in being a part of these efforts against Iran, but even that is a bit too transparent in current geopolitical affairs. And I don't believe the US media would ever gain that kind of access to the truth. I believe what we see here is a coordinated effort by the CIA media arm to deflect what's actually going on by dropping a news story onto the market. This wouldn't be the first time, and it certainly wouldn't be the last in its effort to evade.

Irans Leaders are 100% to blame for continuing a Uranuim enrichment program when they are not supposed to be doing so by the U.N.

Have you ever read the bible?

Your statement here is just blatantly a fallacy.

The Israeli thugs with our financial support are the killers although the Saudi Royals have even more reason to fear Iran. They consider killing specific civilians to be good international diplomacy. I just consider them and the people that sent them, to be murderous criminals

I was studying the results of a Pentagon War Game held a decade ago. In the first iteration we got clobbered. The gamers changes the rules so we "won" in the second try.

What would be your response if we set up a "War Game Exercise" to cover and invasion of Iran and they, using an old plan that was ignored, sank a substantial fraction of our invasion fleet and took the troops that actually landed prisoner? Would you fools call for a nuclear strike on a country because the stopped our invasion? I believe you would because, like all bullies, you are really frightened children.

Without a doubt, US and Israel.

February 10, 2012 – The British Daily Mail published a stunning admission by “US officials” that Israel is indeed funding, training, arming, and working directly with US State Department listed terrorist organization, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, also known as Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK).
The Daily Mail article states, “U.S. officials confirmed today that Israel has been funding and training Iranian dissidents to assassinate nuclear scientists involved in Iran’s nuclear program.” The article continues by claiming, “Washington insiders confirmed there is a close relationship between Mossad and MEK, according to NBC, but said the U.S. was not involved.”

Of course we are involved. There is an effort underway now, to delist MEK as a terrorist organization.

What is the real Iranian threat?
This is highly educational and under 9 minutes.


Chomsky: is Iran a threat? - YouTube

It's interesting that the rhetoric is that Iran is trying to influence it's neighbors, such as Iraq and Afghanistan thru trade and business - that is considered destablizing. If we invade Iraq and Afghanistan, that is stabilizing! Another thing to consider is that Saudi Arabia is much more oppressive to it's population than Iran.
This is all about controlling ME oil.

Iran.

Think about it before you respond. You should also do a little Cold War espionage research.
