SO WHY THE OUTLANDISH STATEMENTS FROM IRAN?

Iran's comments about the utilization of, "toxic gas", is puzzling to most!

Why would Iran make such an outrageous statement?

The tensions between Iran and the GCC states are well known.

My speculation is based upon Iran possibly building and information operations campaign for the potential use of chemical weapons in Syria.

By making these comments about Bahrain, Iran is probably anticipating taking the position of Syria not being the first country in the region to use such weapons against its own people.

With all the events in the region over the past week, the story simply is not risen to the occasion of the media paying attention much less the governments outside of the region.

Is a well-known fact that her rant has been meddling in the affairs of the GCC states for quite some time now.

The dangerous concept of pitting Sunni against Shia for the sake of distracting the world's attention away from the actions in Syria has proven and will continue to prove to be a dangerous game.

Why Iran chose this week to bring up such a inflammatory topic as chemical weapons, with their names being changed to "toxic gas", it's a valid question!

The country of Kuwait is not been on the "radar" near as much as Bahrain Jordan Syria Lebanon and Yemen, but the concept of Iran meddling in Kuwait is not new.

As we watch Iran desperately try and find a way out of the crisis of Syria, it becomes evident just how desperate they are becoming.

The GCC states know full well Iran's game.

The question becomes, do the GCC states "respond\deal" with the interference effectively?

It is one thing to realize the games the Iranians are playing, but it is quite another to react to them correctly.

If there's anything to take away from this inflammatory rhetoric from Iran, it's the underlying concern that Iran could be laying the groundwork for chemical weapons operations inside of Syria!

I'm not convinced the GCC states understand why Iran made this comment, but I am sure the Israelis and the US and its allies have seen through the Iranian tactic.

Does this make me believe the use of chemical weapons in Syria is closer at hand now?

Yes!

Between this propaganda campaign from Iran and the veiled threats of the so-called Syrian rebels utilizing chemical weapons, it is obvious that the Iranians are building an information campaign for the utilization of such weapons.

Every day the rebels gain ground throughout Syria and every day the Syrian military leaders come more to the realization that they are losing not only the battles but the war\Civil War.

I'm not sure if this is the last phase of the Arabian information campaign, but if it is it was a week attempt at justifying future actions inside of Syria.

I would be very interested in hearing the opinion of the Russians after they heard the Iranians make the accusations against Bahrain.

I'm afraid the primary effort on the Russians part, at the moment, is the preparation of evacuation of Russian citizens from Syria.

As a side note, the czar's comments about the future of Assad were interesting to say the least.

Let's wait a few days and see with these new words from the Russian leadership might really mean.
