#6 According to our Iranian sources, the new Revolutionary Guards (IRGS) commander, Mohamed Jaafari, is instigating these incidents with wholehearted encouragement from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is believed out of the picture.

Somehow I doubt he's out of the picture.

#7 He might be quite out of the picture of they actually fire on us. I would imagine that most of the Iranian coast and probably every single oil refinery in Iran would also be "out of the picture" shortly after engagement.
