Iran's plans to subvert wealthy Persian Gulf states


Probably overblown, but worth keeping an eye on

I think this one is exaggerating the level of danger, but not the origin or the plan.

Iran has trained secret networks of agents across the Gulf states to attack Western interests and incite civil unrest in the event of a military strike against its nuclear programme, a former Iranian diplomat has told The Sunday Telegraph.

Spies working as teachers, doctors and nurses at Iranian-owned schools and hospitals have formed sleeper cells ready to be "unleashed" at the first sign of any serious threat to Teheran, it is claimed.

Trained by Iranian intelligence services, they are also said to be recruiting fellow Shias in the region, whose communities have traditionally been marginalised by the Gulf's ruling Sunni Arab clans.

It's something we should be aware of, if for no other reason than to show that Iran is playing both sides against the middle. Wonder what kind of play it will get in the EU?
