thescotsman: US to destabilise Iran for role in Riyhad bombs
THE Bush administration has cut off contact with Iran and Pentagon officials are pushing for action to destabilise the government of the Islamic republic, according to a US newspaper report.
The move follows intelligence reports suggesting al-Qaeda operatives based in Iran played a role in the 12 May suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia.
Citing administration officials, the Washington Post said the White House "appears ready to embrace an aggressive policy of trying to destabilise the Iranian government".
