Take a few NCOs who have that experience with critters and a veterinary surgeon. Implant 'spy stuff' in critters - it looks good but is completely non-functional - oh it can have watch batteries and 'cellular' antennas but we don't expect it to work beyond maybe a 'beep' once in a while. Airdrop the critters over Iran, or just release them on the border. Wait a few months ... Well-educated Iranians are going to know it's fake but .. maybe not? Can they take the chance? They've been calling us 'Satan' for decades and accusing us of all kinds of nefarious stuff - could we possibly have a secret CIA division working on spy squirrels? It would not take much effort on our part. It would cause endless confusion in Iraq and diversion of resources. Plus you can just imagine how much _fun_ this would be to implement.
