I agree, on the lead up to this bogus war the U.S. media was much more damaging than anything i've read from Al Jazeera.

Yes, I am quite aware of similarities one may draw...


but hark this.
Do you think Keith Olberman has to run his nightly script through a government agency?
Do you think Rush Limbaugh had Clinton approve his radio broadcasts?
no...the media still has the ability to be critical of the government, it does not work that way in Iran

our government does not own CNN.
and before someone starts screaming about corporate sponsorship/ownership it's always been that way...it's just worse now.

Of course the CIA arms groups to destabalize other countries. Its a CIA pastime. Nobody can deny this fact with a straight face.

This is probably only one of several groups that are in Iran with an implicit goal of destabalization. Some groups are more extreme than others as is this case.

Is there anything in US media/news about it? Anything at all?

What I found interesting about this article was that Tehran News was reporting a rather damaging story to the credibility of Iran's internal security sovreignty. They usually keep these things under a lid.

At any rate, this story has legs.
