Secret Action Against Iran

No additional details have emerged to shed light on what Richard Clarke meant when he said the U.S. took "covert action" against Iran as a result of that government's involvement in the Khobar Towers bombing.

Did we kill a mullah?
Did we slit the throats of terrorist operatives?
Did we seize one of their bank accounts?
Did we send them a "we know what you did!" letter?

"Covert action" could be anything. Did we at least get an eye for an eye? The U.S. lost 19 brave servicemen in that attack in 1996. Iran hired the terrorists and paid their meals and expenses. President Clinton wouldn't even call up the Saudi government after the attack to get their help in letting the FBI interview witnesses. Instead, we hear from Dick Clarke, "covert action" took place.

As long as folks are asking for Clarke's previous congressional testimony to be declassified, why not declassify what covert action was taken against Iran?

Iran is the country that practically invented terrorist attacks against Americans. And they've never been covert about it, either.
