I haven’t noticed this being discussed in the media yet.

“The Iranian military on Wednesday [March 19] shelled seven Iraqi border villages, causing no injuries or damage but terrifying residents, an Iraqi official said.

The shells were apparently aimed at bases of Kurdish rebel group Pejak (Party of Free Life of Kurdistan), said the mayor of Zarawah, a frontier town in northeastern Iraq.Pejak is accused by Tehran of launching deadly attacks on security forces in northwestern Iran.”

Also reported on March 19, while traveling in Oman, V.P. Cheney says that Iran may have restarted its nuclear weapons program.  http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8VGJH980&show_article=1
