I strongly suspect there’s more to this Iran thing than meets the eye. Of course there is – I doubt we are being told half of what’s going on behind the scenes, yet it still sounds highly dubious.

Take the release of the sailors yesterday. Why did Iran do that? It was a sudden move that meant Iran lost all it’s bargaining chips. If those sailors had been in Iranian waters Iran had every right to keep them. One explanation, therefore, is that they weren’t in Iranian waters in the first place, and Iran released them before everyone found out. Thus Iran made a shrewd move – it appears magnanimous, and nobody has to find out the inconvenient truth. It’s all very iffy.
