Recently, an acquaintance of my wife returned from a trip to Iran, her country of origin. In addition to noting the runaway inflation and stark increase in poverty, she was surprised by the heightened level of separatist sentiment in various regions.

That sentiment took a violent turn in southwestern city of Ahvaz today. Separatists attacked an Iranian military parade, killing at 29 people and wounding 70 more.

The attackers disguised themselves as members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, and proceeded to open fire on the marchers and others in attendance. Iran blamed “U.S. puppets,” including Saudi Arabia, for backing the group from which the attackers allegedly came. The U.S. rightly condemned the attack.

(Snip)

While the Iranian regime, to the detriment of the Iranian people, expends significant resources on foreign adventurism, including efforts to help Assad unify Syria under his dictatorial control, Tehran’s dictatorial control over portions of Iran may be diminishing.
