OK. I am now changing my bet. Iran is not next. Southeast Asia is next (free registration required).
From the Opinion Journal:
Imagine an Afghanistan-by-the-South-China-Sea, a radical Muslim state carved out from renegade regions of Southeast Asia, led by fundamentalist clerics calling for the destruction of the West.
That’s the vision that animates Jemaah Islamia, a group aiming to establish “Daulah Islamiah,” a state that would include parts of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Fortunately, the group’s timetable for paradise on earth has suffered a setback, with the recent arrest of a 13-member unit in Malaysia and a squad of 15 in Singapore

Sgt. Stryker will probably have more info this in a couple of days (I would like to know what bases we have and what carrier groups are in the region, etc.), but he did note one aspect of the Philippine involvement the other day.
