30. Iran's biggest enemy is internal
and it is drug related.


Rebels in Iran execute two captive policemen

DUBAI (AFP) — An Iranian Sunni rebel group has said it has executed two more of 16 Iranian border police it says it seized two weeks ago, Al-Arabiya television reported on Friday.

The Dubai-based news channel quoted a spokesman for the Jundullah (Soldiers of God) rebels as saying that the Tehran government had "two more weeks" to answer their demands or risk seeing the remaining captives killed also.

The border guards were captured on June 12 at a checkpoint in the town of Saravan, in restive Baluch-populated southeastern Iran, and taken across the border into Pakistan, according to the Iranian authorities.

Jundallah has said it carried out a string of attacks and kidnappings in Sistan-Baluchestan, which is home to a substantial Sunni ethnic Baluch community and lies on a major narcotics route from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The govt. in Tehran doesn't control its own country when cities near the Pakistan border are under siege.

Thats very much the same fate Islamabad finds itself in.
Maybe by the same people ?

All Tehran has to do is link these Sunni drug smuggling tribes with the CIA and then they will have a case to piss off the worlds oil consumers and mine the straits but .... They themselves ship oil through the straits. I hope they thought this saber rattling thing out. They have become quite the oil speculators lately
