Exactly right, My2Cents. Bingo. They are ALL involved.

But the Iranian connection should be a no-brainer. Many have been making the Iranian connection argument for the past two+ years (Michael Ledeen, for one).

Iran's Pasdaran Special Forces have had their finger in everything: HezbAllah; Arafat's Fatah; infiltration into northeastern and southern Iraq; Lebanon (they pretty much have run the show in the Bekaa Valley, from kidnappings in the early 1980s, to controlling the hostages). The problem with the left is that they really don't care who's opposing us in the Middle East. The left thinks we're the bad guys.
