Arab Neighbors Issue Bizzare, Frightening Warning to Iran

Over the weekend, Egypt and Saudi Arabia warned Iran not to allow the U.S. and Israel to stage a provocation as a pretext for a strike against Tehran. On one hand, it's certainly ominous that the rest of the world - outside of the U.S. and British media - knows and is reporting that the Zionists and the rogues atop the U.S. Government are gearing up to annihilate Iran. At the same time, what do they want the Iranians to do?

Iran has time and again said that while they will not hesitate to defend themselves, they certainly aren't looking for a fight with the U.S. and Israel. They've allowed weapons inspections. They've looked the other way when the U.S. has backed Sunni al-Qaeda rebels to stage bombings inside of Iran.

Aside from all of this, what do Cairo and Riyadh expect from Iran? If the true axis-of-evil - U.S., Israel, Britain - decide tomorrow they want to stage a pretext, it's done. End of story. They already masterfully pulled off 9/11, the 7/7 London bombings, the attack on U.S.S. Liberty, and on and on. That said, I have no idea what the Egyptians and Saudis are driving at here.

It is interesting to note that in addition to a number of European and Central Asian countries, it was countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia that tried to warn the U.S. in the weeks and months before 9/11 that an attack was imminent. The only problem was, they were warning the attackers themselves. Now, they're essentially warning the Iranians - though it's certainly not a secret to anyone let alone Iran - that an attack is very likely, very soon. Just last week the U.S. rounded out its largest naval deployment in nearly two decades, as they now have five warships in the Persian Gulf region.

Of course there was also last month's revelation from Sy Hersh that Dick Cheney had as many as a dozen different scenarios for a provocateur event to blame on Iran. He detailed only one, which was ultimately rejected.

Could one of the other 11 or so be the event the Egyptians and Saudis are warning against, and that Iran will be powerless to stop?
