Only for the sake of playing devil’s advocate (or rather, Great Satan detractor) what are the chances that the Quds force commando we captured was given documents by the IR’s security services so as to entice America into attacking Iran? The mullahs and their cronies honestly believe that the US is the greatest source of evil in the world and must be defeated. If we open war with them, aren’t they allowed to open back? Are they preparing for something we’re not aware of?

I think there is zero chance of that. The Quds officers were official guests of the Iraqi Government, they could not imagine they would be arrested. In fact, we did not know who they were, and only found out when one of them identified himself, clearly expecting that would put an end to it.
The grave question is whether the wiring diagram was going to be presented to Hakim in order to coordinate actions.
