Erlich writes, "Kurdish and American sources say the United States has been supporting guerilla raids against Iran, channeling the money through organizations in Iraqi Kurdistan."

Iran's capture of the 15 British sailors and marines took place as the UN Security Council voted unanimously in favor of further sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend its nuclear enrichment program. The economic sanctions target Iran's arms exports, state bank, and its elite Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Iranian government denounced the sanctions package as illegal and announced it would limit cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog agency.
