Iran's Intelligence Ministry said on Saturday U.S. agents had armed and trained those behind a deadly blast in a mosque last month and that pipelines in the country's oil-rich south were also among the planned targets.

    "This network that the Americans had armed with different terrorist tools such as chemicals, explosive materials, dangerous and poisonous cyanide ... was guided directly by Americans agents into Iran," it said in a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency."

    "It said confessions of those arrested "show that American agents had told members of this network that their main mission was to spread fear among people in different cities."

    "Blowing up southern oil pipelines was among the group's targets and this was why "American centers had set up diving classes for this network to identify oil pipelines in the Persian Gulf."

      Iranian officials had initially said the explosion during an evening prayer sermon was caused by explosives left over from an exhibition commemorating the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. . .

      Intelligence Minister Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said on Wednesday 15 Iranians had been arrested in connection with the blast and they had also plotted to attack a Russian consulate in northern Iran. . . . .

      Blowing up southern oil pipelines was among the group's targets and this was why "American centers had set up diving classes for this network to identify oil pipelines in the Persian Gulf," the statement said. . . . .

      Weapons, explosives and maps were among item seized from those arrested, the Intelligence Ministry said.

      Security is normally tight in Shi'ite Muslim Iran and bomb attacks have been rare although several people were killed in 2005 and 2006 in blasts in a southwestern province with a large Sunni Arab population.

      This information is as credible as the state sponsored news headlines we are force fed on a daily basis.

        Well, we do know several hundred million dollars was recently approved for funding terrorist organizations that have a history of terrorist attacks in Iran, so I would give it quite a bit of credibility.

        Secret Bush "Finding" Widens War on Iran

        Six weeks ago, President Bush signed a secret finding authorizing a covert offensive against the Iranian regime that, according to those familiar with its contents, "unprecedented in its scope."...

        ..This widened scope clears the way, for example, for full support for the military arm of Mujahedin-e Khalq, the cultish Iranian opposition group, despite its enduring position on the State Department's list of terrorist groups.

      What a load of bovine fecal matter from Iran....

      For some strange reason, I think that if the US wanted to blow up Iranian pipelines & mosques, it would have done so by now, not merely a mosque.....

      Why do I get the feeling that it was some nutty sui-bomber whose vest/belt went off early ????

          Well Dicax, you are right into believing big brother state propaganda. We already know that Congress allocated $300 million for exactly such kinds of attacks (see above).

            Because that's what you want to believe. Yes, the US could wipe Iran off the face of the Earth, but that would have a downside too, and that's not the way the US tends to operate. That's not the way it operated in countries behind the iron curtain, and that's not the way it operated in South America. It prefers to let the locals bleed.

            They have no evidence. First they said it was an accidental explosion. Now they claim it was Israel, Britain and the U.S. involved. Interesting -- the same three nations that whack-job president in the past has threatened would "disappear from the map."

            The whole thing is entire BS.

            Their evidence is probably extracted by torture. It is well established that people when tortured by anyone but the USA will say whatever they think their torturers want to hear to make the pain stop. Only people tortured by us always tell the truth. George Bush says so.

            I don't doubt there are subversive forces at work in Iran. I don't know if this is one of them.

            Recently on O'reilly, he was planning his interview with McCain (following his interview with Hillary) and he was asking Dick Morris if he could come up with a question he could ask.

            Dick said "ask him what he will do if Israel attacks Iran before the election in November". Dick went on to say that Netanyahu will be elected soon as Prime Minister and he expects he will attack Iran before the election.

            Any pre-emptive attack on Iran is going to end badly in my opinion ... I hope this doesn't happen.

              Not to worry, Morris has really bad record of predicting the future.

            As Ronald Reagan once stated: "We did not trade arms for hostages!" Two weeks later he admitted in front of God and everyone else that that is in fact exactly what the US government had done.

            Those Iranians are a bright bunch, they learned to lie, cheat and steal from the most talented liars on the planet: The CIA and the USAs overt, covert and corrupt political elite.

              It's quite true that our nation has a record of shady dealings, but I still require evidence to believe this.

              We have known that the Bush administration is funding sunni terrorist groups throughout the mideast for over a year now. Particluarly in Lebanon and Iran.

              Hersh: U.S. Funds Being Secretly Funneled To Violent Al Qaeda-Linked Groups

              http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/25/hersh-qaeda/

              A good part of the blow-up in Lebanon is the result of the zionists in our government (arch zionist Elliot Abrams of Iran-Contra fame and his "Welch club") funneling money to terrorist groups with Al Qaeda connections.

              Who's Behind the Fighting in North Lebanon?

              ...Given Bush administration debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan and its encouragement for Israel to continue its destruction of Lebanon this past summer, the situation in Lebanon mirrors, in some respects, the early 1980's when groups sprung up to resist the US green lighted Israeli invasion and occupation.

                But rather than being Shia and pro-Hezbollah, today's groups are largely Sunni and anti-Hezbollah. Hence they qualify for US aid, funneled by Sunni financial backers in league with the Bush administration which is committed to funding Islamist Sunni groups to weaken Hezbollah.

                This project has become the White House obsession following Israel's July 2006 defeat.

                To understand what is going on with Fatah al-Islam at Nahr el-Bared one would want a brief introduction to Lebanon's amazing, but shadowy 'Welch Club'.

                The Club is named for its godfather, David Welch, assistant to Secretary of State Rice who is the point man for the Bush administration and is guided by Eliot Abrams.

                Key Lebanese members of the Welch Club (aka: the 'Club') include:

                The Lebanese civil war veteran, warlord, feudalist and mercurial Walid Jumblatt of the Druze party( the Progressive Socialist Party or PSP)

              This is what happens when idiots play with weapons. They blew themselves up and now are blaming everyone else. Hope the same happens when they finally get their nukes.

                Yes. First they declared it an accident. Now suddenly they say it was U.S., British and Israeli forces training insurgents. - and right on the heels of Israel's 60th birthday. And no evidence offered to back such a dumb statement.

                You'd have to be a complete idiot to believe it.

              Oh please, if Iran had any evidence they would be waving it in front of al-jazeera and al-reuters. They would be screaming for the UN to do something.

              And why the hell would the US want to bomb a mosque? I might listen to their nonsense if a munitions factory or "training camp" was hit.

              The first explanation they had was probably the correct one. (that boys were playing with leftover "toys" from an "exhibition".

                Since claims are being tossed about by everyone with no evidence being presented publicly, I'll make two of my own.

                1. Super-Man did it.

                2. Iranian rebels did it, without US aid.
