Scary Regime Change Talk from Washington

A New Yorker article which I find extremely scary, but a necessary read; although, not just regime change.
Some operations, apparently aimed in part at intimidating Iran, are already under way. American Naval tactical aircraft, operating from carriers in the Arabian Sea, have been flying simulated nuclear-weapons delivery missions—rapid ascending maneuvers known as “over the shoulder” bombing—since last summer, the former official said, within range of Iranian coastal radars.
The other frightening part is a power vacume in Iran opens the door to extremist organizations. The group with the strongest ties to the region is Hezbollah, which recently won a popular election in Lebanon.

Also an Oogle Earth article showing potential nuclear processing plants in Iran.
