"The 'independant analysts' you quote do not contradict the view Iran is influencing the protests and that the events in Bahrain are part of a wider co-ordinated conflict, they merely list what the grievances of the shi'ites are. "
Read the stories again. They list the grievances as the cause of the trouble. A rather pathetic twisting of the information on your part.
"Or as the country's major English language paper, the Gulf Daily News put it: "A web of lies, deceit and maliciously false information to fuel terrorism in Bahrain was revealed."
If you are reduced to referencing a newspaper produced in Bahrain, a country where torture and censorship is practised, to support your views, you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
If you dont want to take my view on it, take that of The UN Refugee Agency.

No more for me to say on this matter. I will leave you in your John Le Carre fantasy world.

"In 2009, Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri, an adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that Shiite Iran had sovereignty over Bahrain"
Fantastical.
