I smell an "operation" in Iran

I may be wrong, but in the wake of the recent presidential finding reported by ABC in late May,

The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert "black" operation to destabilize the Iranian government.

When I read about at least a dozen gas stations being torched "spontaneously" by different groups of protesters across Tehran, I smell coordination.

Angry demonstrators torched petrol stations and long queues formed at heavily-guarded fuel pumps Wednesday after oil-rich Iran announced the start of fuel rationing, triggering nationwide protests....

Shouting "(President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad must be killed," stone-throwing demonstrators set ablaze a car and petrol pumps at a service station in a residential area of northwestern Tehran late on Tuesday.....

Tehran fire service spokesman Behrouz Tashakor said the city's firefighting teams had reported 12 petrol stations ablaze, according to the Fars news agency.

It's one of the great ironies of the Iranian situation that they import gasoline thus leaving them subject to the pressure of sanctions. As Reuters notes,

The United States, which is leading efforts to isolate Iran over its nuclear plans, has said Iran's gasoline imports are a point of "leverage."

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is a spontaneous outpouring, but it does seem to fit a model. A dozen very similar shock value fires (that make good video reinforcing the anger over the rationing) creating an image of a hated government and a city out of control.... All on a topic the US has previously and repeatedly referred to as a point of leverage.

A little later: In the next AP version, "Reports that gas stations in several cities across the country were also in flames could not be independently confirmed."
