Islamic Republic Generals Are Contemplating A Dangerous Game

It was in news today that Mr. Manochehr Mottaki, Foreign Minister of the Islamic regime of Iran, has traveled to Nigeria. The purpose of his trip was to sorting out the recent crisis of heavy-arms shipment to the country which is believed to have been loaded in the port city of Bandar Abbas, south of Iran.

Reports suggested that two Iranian business men were purportedly behind the shipment. However, whoever has a little knowledge about Iran tells you that these individuals have not been in a position to simply ship such a military cargo out of the country. Unless of course they had the shipment authorised beforehand. Such authorisation could have only been given at the highest level of government and military - most likely the Revolutionary Guards Corp (RGC). That is why, perhaps, the request made by the Nigerian authorities to have access and interview the individuals involved, now took refuge in the Islamic regime's Embassy in Abuja, was categorically denied by Mr. Mottaki. His government and his fellow revolutionary guards friends in Tehran are worry, and they should be, about the out-comes of such interviews.

Nevertheless, I am neither really concerned about the real shipper or shippers of the cargo nor its contents. It is simply because being concerned about these are just time wasting exercise. What really concerns me though is the mindset of military people in Iran. That is those who last year did the coup d'etat against the people of Iran. Those who took Iran and its people hostage. Those who complacently think that they have established themselves as a tainted military regime; and the game is over! Those who by the support of their regional terrorist organisations led to believe that they have the instability of the Middle East at their finger tips; and now try to reach out their fingers at the instability-button of Africa and beyond.

That is a dangerous game this little minority in Tehran is contemplating. This game is my real concern; and I strongly believe that it should be the concern of the peaceful world as well. I am sure; it is. But there is a simple enough solution for the dilemma; only Tehran tries to depict it as unthinkable.
