In a plot straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, the Iranian government was caught trying to deal with a Mexican drug cartel in assassinating Saudi and Israeli diplomats on US soil. The bomb plot was foiled with the arrest of two men, a third based in Iran in still at large, The implications for this is huge. It is against international law to target diplomats and as Saudi and Israeli interests were targeted, the response may be severe.
What exactly the response will be is unknown but this is exactly the kind of thing that leads to war, big wars. Just ask Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Ferdinand led to two world wars. Iran is skating on thin ice with their declaration of wanting nukes to threatening US or Israeli interests.
More on this plot as it develops.
