So, who would have such a plan? Would it be Russia, or maybe France? Hmmmm?
Could be the US or Israel, or UK maybe. Or, possibly Pakistan or India. Maybe North Korea peddles missiles to these guys in order to infiltrate spies to bring back information necessary to the carving up of this future People's Republic's province.
The possibilities are endless. All that anyone needs is some sort of pretext.
Looks like the pretext is there, eh?!
There are quite a few good people in Iran. That would be a very bad idea.
