I think you have it. Take a look at the two MEK locations in bold. The MEK is being used to bomb Iran and like you said the shrine.
Iran is claiming to be under attack by the U.S. from its eastern border in Sistan–Baluchistan Province and its western border from Iraq.

United Press International also recently quoted unnamed US officials claiming that Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf had granted the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) organization permission to operate from Pakistani Balochistan.
If true, this is sure to escalate tensions between Islamabad and Tehran over the controversial Marxist-Islamist group that has assassinated several top Iranian government figures since 1979 and enjoyed Saddam Hussein's protection until 2003. The MEK are reportedly in talks with Washington, while their fighters are under US protection in Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

In a more significant indication of White House attitudes on the subject, the Department of Defense has failed to fully disarm the People's Mujahideen of Iran (or Mujahideen-e Khalq, MEK), an anti-government militia now based in Iraq that has conducted terrorist actions in Iran and is listed on the State Department's roster of terrorist organizations. In 2003, the Washington Post reported that some senior administration figures would like to use the MEK as a proxy force in Iran, in the same manner that the Northern Alliance was employed against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Camp Ashraf is next to the Iranian border.
Camp Ashraf, as the National Post (Canada) newspaper noted, is not really a camp at all. "Blooming out of the Iraqi desert, near the border with Iran, it has a convention centre, two museums, a pool, park, garden, hospital and university. It covers about 50 square kilometres, and has its own electrical substation."

I was thinking of the Iran/Saudi thing if true a warning shot, meaning Iran did not mean to do damage but rather drive home the point that they would later if pushed use missiles.
Iran is dealing with al-Qaeda.
Security contacts have told Asia Times Online that several al-Qaeda members have been moved from detention.
