I suspect there is at least an element of proof to this. There is no doubt some wpuld like to see him dead, even though he is without real power in Iran.
We all know the enemies of Iran have previous.

Yes, watch out, the Evil Empire feels like breaking international law yet again so that it can be hated even more on the world stage and glamourise the terrorists as it loves to do.

Yes, i'm sure the prospect of having another quagmire war, on top of escalating tensions with Russia and China and a loss of support from the EU, is something that the American Government longs for.

Yup, a lot of previous. But then so do the friends of Iran.

Without proof I won't accord this claim any credibility. He and his government are consistently liars and only trying to garner sympathy by slinging baseless anti-American claims which they cannot prove. Just another load of anti-American, anti-Israeli crap.

In lieu of evidence presented for or against this assertion, I can't really come to an opinion on it.

Exactly. If he says that he has "information" why not release it? I suspect that he knows that his nuclear ambitions will soon come to an end and he's looking for sympathy.

Nor will I discount it.
