WTF: Iranian Hackers, Baidu, and Google? Oh my!

This week, a group of hackers claiming to be the Iranian Cyber Army attacked Chinese search engine Baidu. (See FT article)

Doesn't that sound odd? Why would Iranian hackers target a Chinese search engine?

Allow me to put on my thinking cap: I ask, "What other news do we have about Baidu this week?"

Google is threatening to leave the Chinese market after failing to overtake Chinese-based search engine Baidu! (see Forbes article) So, the Iranians attacked Baidu because the Iranians a) hate China or b) love Google?

I suggest c) It's a false flag attack. Allow me to explain:
1) The definition of a false flag attack. Basically, a 3rd party attempts to create tension between party A (China) and party B (Iran) or cause a conflict between the two that otherwise benefits the 3rd, invisible party. Who is the 3rd party in the Iran, China, X love triangle? I suggest that it is Google.

2) Why would Google want to create problems with China? See the article relating to Google withdrawing from the Chinese search market.

3) Why would Google want to create problems with Iran?
Google: Iran can't control the net
Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Jewish) are both supporters of Israel, and we all know Israel and Iran aren't friends.

Conclusion: My 30 seconds of paranoid thinking have connected some headlines (one of which makes no sense -Iran attacking a Chinese search engine) and some facts gathered from wikipedia to come to this: Google conducted a false flag attack against its Chinese competitor (Baidu) under the guise of the Iranian Cyber Army in order to 1) weaken its competitor and 2) motivate Chinese hackers (aka the Chinese government) to counter-hack Iran which helps US & Israeli interests in the Middle East.

Call me crazy, but that makes more sense than the Iranian Cyber Army attacking Baidu for no reason.
