All it would take is for some of that money to go to some reckless group.
IMO, Iran would love to point the finger at the West due to a few specific reasons.

1) Poor economy brought about by their leaders sabre rattling the West and the U.N. noncompliance sanctions. Yet this does not stop even know their economy is in a nose dive and the people are beginning to see that this man that leads them is not what he promised and its only getting worse.

2) Their leader will try anything to get the people behind him and his rhetoric for the West by using any means possible. Perhaps including the means taken above. He knows that the U.N. sanctions are beginning to take effect and the more rhetoric he gives the worse conditions get for his people and the more unstable his supporters become.

Its only a matter of time before it all catches up with him.

But more to the point..We dont need to stoop to such levels to get even with Iran and their training and supplying of militants in Iraq.
Its simply below us to contenplate such brash measures when professionally we could run them down if we so chose too.
