So is it coincidence that over the same weekend
the Russian Fleet arrives at the Eastern Med
the Iranians announce further naval exercises
the Iranians also launch "wargames" along the Afghan border, including "targeting Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" and "new asymmetric warfare tactics"
Pervaiz Musharraf announces he will return to Pakistan before the end of January - and the Pakistani authorities threaten to arrest him. (If my memory serves me correctly he was very pro-western...)
Iran announces MORE spy arrests
Iran announces it will start nuclear enrichment at a second underground site
Is it also coincidence that Iranian Parliamentary elections are scheduled for March 2nd?
