Noooo ....
Our intrepid intelligence services are at it again. They've been spending a lot of time wondering if Iran would retaliate after a U.S. attack:
The Washington Post leads with intelligence officials and experts worrying that Iran may coordinate terrorist attacks in response to any military action that the United States might take against the country's nuclear program. Besides targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, there seems to be agreement that Iran would also carry out attacks against civilians in Europe and the United States.

[...]

Although officials refuse to tell the Post whether they have detected preparations by Iran to carry out these terrorist attacks, the topic is "consuming a lot of time" in intelligence circles. The fear mainly lies in the fact that the terrorist groups controlled or backed by Iran, including Hezbollah, have a lot of resources and are well organized, so they could cause extensive damage.
Isn't it good to know that our intelligence agencies are hard at work? I'm comforted by that knowledge.
