I've Been Thinking:
An oil pipeline in Bahrain, located just outside the capital, was the target of a terrorist attack yesterday.
Bahraini officials blamed Iran.
That should be no surprise. Bahrain's Minister of Interior Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, said the attack was "the latest example of a terrorist act performed by terrorists in direct contact with and under instruction from Iran."
Iran rejects the insinuation and claims that they had nothing to do the explosion.
About 85% of Bahrain is Shiite and the Iranians have supported their revolt against the minority Sunni leadership.
In 2011 there was an attempt to overthrow the Bahraini government that was sponsored by Iran. Since then, many revolutionary cells have been uncovered and all have been traced back to Iran.
It makes sense that, despite the protestations, Iran is behind the attack.
