I find it funny all of the Europeans are on here talking about this being America wanting another war. The hilarious thing is that the European intelligence communities have a far grimmer picture of Iran's WMD ambitions than the US does. American intelligence agencies were saying Iran had stopped its nuke program in 2003, while German and French agencies have been saying "not so fast." It's obvious to anyone that Iran is up to no good, but it is puzzling as to the approach they're taking in their weapons program.

It's no secret Iran and Saudi Arabia don't get along. The Wikileaks cables already show Saudi Arabia has asked the US to attack Iran for them. The US plot wasn't the only one uncovered either; this was part of a larger coordinated set of plots involving South American embassies as well. I think this is far more likely to push Iran and Saudi Arabia to the brink of war more than the US and Iran. If the bombs had actually gone off however, things would likely be different.
