Iran: Evidence of an Anti-Regime Movement?

Following a recent pattern of dispersed, low-intensity attacks by unknown perpetrators, an explosion occurred in a building that houses British Airways, BP and German-owned Daimler-Chrysler in Tehran on Aug. 2. The explosion, targeting British and German companies, is likely linked to the intensifying negotiations with the European trio and is intended to push the regime closer to an external crisis over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The recent violence could indicate a new fledgling anti-regime movement in the Islamic Republic.
