Expect the Mosque to blow up. This is the purpose of the operation by these "foreigners". Objectives:

1) engage the Shi'ia into a full conflict
2) make sure that Najaf (in Iraq) will not take over the role of Qom (in Iran) as the center of Shi'ia interpretation.

This points to the Revolutionary Guards as the source.
However, the destruction would as well fit into the plan of the Salafists/Wahhabis to destroy all "polytheistic" shrines.

I think that the Revolutionary Guards accept the loss of the Mosque if they obtain 1) and 2) above. Blame it on al Qaeda and the West
