More Questions over Alleged Iranian Plot

The alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States has been dismissed by most commentators as too far-fetched to be true. Indeed, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, which the U.S. government is accusing of coordinating the plot, generally stays in the Middle East and South Asia and prefers to work with proxy militant groups, rather than handling assassinations far abroad. However, Washington's confidence in its accusation is notable, as is the possibility for other, unreleased evidence. If the plot was real, it says much about the Iranian intelligence services' scope, ambitions and capabilities.
