I think the Iranian government/regime will blame Any One and Any Thing for any problems, misgivings, and so on, when it sees fit, at Any Time.
In reply to your comment: There is an infamous saying by Khomeini (Not Khamenei - the current, apparently, somewhat dead Supreme Leader). Khomeini, apparently, once said something along the lines of: If anything goes wrong blame it on America and Israel. If you can’t find anything wrong, then, find something, and, then, blamed it on America and Israel. Obviously, it is about passing the buck and not accepting responsibility for one’s own actions.
So, I guess the so-called political & religious descendants of Khomeini, in many instances, take a leaf out of his teachings. Although, it doesn’t mean the Saudis are more tolerant of the West. Only, more diplomatic & superficially less belligerent.
So will the Iranian Revolutionary Guards be forced to retaliate against the US to save face ? This is the most serious attack on Iran in quite awhile.

I have no way of knowing. Your guess is as good as mine. I’d doubt it. There is a difference between rhetoric and taking action.
Were any of the 9/11 culprits Iranian nationals?
FNC has consistently used the term homicide bombing.
In fact, Fox may be the only major US news org which does so.
They have caused a lot of carnage in Iraq however. And we have numerous Naval vessels patrolling off the Persian Gulf. Just saw a Debka report (shaky to say the least) that Iran State TV is now blaming Britain of Complicity in the Attack. Interesting. Considering the British Muslim Nationals that have been linked to Terrorist acts abroad. Dang Muslims gonna start the next big one apparently. Debka also states that 5 Senior Commanders were killed. Total dead is 60-70.
>”They have caused a lot of carnage in Iraq however”
I don’t think Iraq will have stability as long as the Iranian regime is in power. Iranian regime will continue to meddle in Iraq, and they are itching to get rid of US troops & influence.
>”Considering the British Muslim Nationals that have been linked to Terrorist acts abroad.”
Yep. This isn’t simply an “Iranian Government” thing. It is an Islam thing. Most muslim Britons (especially born and bred in the UK) are Not of Iranian heritage or origins. Most are Pakistani, then from Bangladesh, and to a lesser extent from India. By majority, they are from Ex-UK colonies. Although, the Saudis do enormously fund schools all over the UK, where Salafi teachings are very prominent & influential. The Islamic (Iranian) Government also has made in-roads in education and setting up propaganda for their fundamental version of Islam. These, in combination, IMO, contribute to “home-grown”, ideologically based, terrorism.
IMO, Western government should devise strategies to counteract these influences.
"Some informed sources said the British government was directly involved in the terrorist attack ... by organizing, supplying equipment and employing professional terrorists," state television said.
Later....
Boom, Boom, out go the lights!
I just copied what was on the website. But we can know that Obama will be deeply saddened and light a candle today in church for their memory.
KARMA + KABOOM = KARBOOMA!
WELL! One fact We are 100% sure of!!!:
The Dingleberry and MUSLIM TERRORIST SYMPATHESIZER, ThE TOTUS, OBAMA BIN LADIN HUSSEIN, certainly had NOTHING to do with this or anything that would NOT help the TERRORIST’S Causes and Objectives!!!
:-(
Revolutionary Guard in Iran = in USA:
1) ACORN
2) SEUI
3) Democratic Party
3) Black Panthers
4) World Can’t Wait
5) Code Pink
The bomb was detonated inside a hall in the middle of a large group of Iranian military, not outside.
More than a media war - the Iranian order for TOR missiles was canceled by the Russians as a condition of sale of same to the Saudis.
