Arbabsiar allegedly had a series of encounters in Mexico with a DEA mole posing as a Mexican drug cartel heavy weight. The Iranian-American seems to have been convinced that the mole was a member of the hardcore Zetas Mexican cartel, and reportedly bragged he was being "directed by high-ranking members of the Iranian government", including a cousin who was "a member of the Iranian army but did not wear a uniform".
On top of it, he told the DEA mole that his Iranian government buddies could come up with "tons of opium" for the Mexican cartel (an Afghan connection, perhaps). Then they discussed a "number of violent missions" complete with Arbabsiar bragging about bombing a packed Washington restaurant used by the Saudi ambassador. Full article.
If they use this as a pretext for another shock and awe.

Iran is not Iraq, or Afghanistan.
Shia and Sunni will see this as another crusade against Islam.
Just because O says it is, does not mean it is.
Lets remember the not so distant past.
Yellow cake - WMD, babies supposedly being thrown from incubators in Kuwait, April Glaspie, - 9/11- Gulf of Ton Kin, on and on.
