According to The London Times, a journalist writing for an IRGC weekly suggests Iran taken Americans or Israelies hostage in Europe of all places, however if the IRGC wanted to do so, Iraq would be a better place to take Americans hostage.  Iran has presumably done so before.

In an article in Subhi Sadek, the Revolutionary Guard’s weekly paper, Reza Faker, a writer believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, warned that Iran would strike back.

“We’ve got the ability to capture a nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks,” he said. “Iran has enough people who can reach the heart of Europe and kidnap Americans and Israelis.”

This follows IRGC commanders going missing, including Asghari who was last seen in Turkey, but other commanders went missing in Iraq.  It is more than reasonable to assume the United States has taken IRGC commanders hostage in Iraq, but why would they be there if not to support the insurgency in Iraq?

Based upon the hair and eye color Iran seemingly wants, why do they hate the Swedes so much?
