Persian emperor Ahmadinejad

What is Persian emperor Ahmadinejad trying to pull here by sending a terrorist to kill the Saudi ambassador? Does he feel like the unrest in Arab nations give him the power to flex Iran's military might? It appears like Iranian backed Hamas can't wait to get 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released so they can start an attack against Israel. It seems urgent since Assad appears to be losing power in Syria. The nations touching Israel's borders seem to be preparing for war. Iran will be in the background to pick up the pieces before Iran goes down in flames.
