US conducting operations in Iran

This somewhat cryptic article in the Asia Times is a fair collection of the allegations that the US military is currently conducting operations, both directly and indirectly, inside Iran. At the vary least, this article appears to have confirmation that US forces are harboring and aiding the MEK, a bad, bad anti-Iranian terror group, in Iraq.

There's also an allegation that in January the US or British forces in Iraq brought down a plane carrying 11 top officers in Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Iranian airspace with an electromagnetic pulse weapon(?).

There are a number of allegations of US activities, including in country operations. This could be intel. This could be straight ahead black ops, but it sounds to me more like an effort at provocation or an effort to prompt a precipitating event.

Get out your tinfoil hat as it helps read between the lines, but there's a fair amount here.
