U.S. to Establish Diplomatic Presence in Tehran?

July 17th, 2008

Via: Reuters:

The United States will announce in the next month that it plans to establish a diplomatic presence in Tehran for the first time in 30 years, a London newspaper said on Thursday.

In a front-page report, the Guardian said Washington would open a U.S. interests section in the Iranian capital, halfway towards opening an embassy.

The unsourced report by the newspaper’s Washington correspondent said: “The Guardian has learned that an announcement will be made in the next month to establish a U.S. interests section in Tehran, a halfway house to setting up a full embassy.

“The move will see U.S. diplomats stationed in the country.”

    Can’t stage a false flag bombing — to blame on the Iranians — without an embassy, but of course.

    Set ’em up and knock ’em down.

    @Miraculix: absolutely. The minute I read about that, I thought, “Ah, nice place to base our spying/sabotage/destabilization… etc.. efforts.” No doubt, there’ll be pretty soccer moms like Valerie Plame conducting… business! yeah, that’s it! …all over Iran.
