This time by our Attorney General, Eric Holder. Coincidentally, this plot was sponsored by the FBI, via its informants. It does sound truly farfetched; Iran is smarter than to conceive of this very weird plot for so little gain, yet running the great risk that we would bomb than in retaliation. This article by Stephen Walt has some sound arguments why this plot seems nonsensical. The article also has links to rather complete demolitions of Holder's claim.
This is another indication that very smart people do not often make very good leaders.
