Iran's Contingency Plan

Notorious Hezbollah leader Imad Fayez Mugniyah has been tasked by the Iranian government to organize cells of Shiite operatives in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to carry out attacks in the event of war against Iran, a source reported Oct. 25. Without any guarantees that potential negotiations with the United States over Iraq would result in a comprehensive agreement, Iran needs a variety of levers to demonstrate to its Arab neighbors that cooperating in a U.S. attack against Iran comes with risks.
