Is This a "Wag The Dog"

Iranians charged in U.S. over assassination plot | Reuters

U.S. authorities said they had broken up a plot by two men linked to Iran's security agencies to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. One was arrested last month while the other was believed to be in Iran.

Iran denied the charges. But President Barack Obama called the plot a "flagrant violation of U.S. and international law" and Saudi Arabia said it was "despicable."

Revelation of the alleged plot, and the apparent direct ties to the Tehran government, had the potential to further inflame tensions in the Middle East, and the United States said Tehran must be held top account.

Huh, what's that thing going on in Washington?

Ahhhhhh, "Fast and Furious", yea, yea, that's it.

Is this "wag the dog?'
