Does Iran's Government Sense A Future "Incident"?

Ahmadinejad wants millions to quit Tehran over quake fears

"AFP - At least five million Tehran residents need to relocate elsewhere because Iran's capital sits on several fault lines and is threatened by earthquakes, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.
"We cannot order people to evacuate the city... but provisions have to be made. At least five million should leave Tehran so it is less crowded and more manageable in case of an incident," Mehr news agency quoted him as saying.
Ahmadinejad said the government could offer "land, loans at four percent interest and substantial subsidies" in the provinces to encourage Tehran residents to leave the sprawling capital.
Tehran province has nearly 14 million inhabitants, eight million of whom live in the city which straddles several fault lines. Experts warn that a strong quake in Tehran could kill hundreds of thousands of people."

Toppling the next Domino

"A 6.5 to 7 temblor under Tehran would create a catastrophe that could kill hundreds of thousands, flatten the city and bring the government of president Ahmadinejad to it's knees. After previously sending in agents to foment disruption and chaos, the fascists could help make sure the situation deteriorates fast."
