Why not? There are several reasons why that is the most horrible idea I've heard in a long time. First, it would kill off mostly innocent people who haven't done anything wrong. Secondly, most of the dead would consist of people too poor to afford proper medical care, while the rich people (i.e. the people in power) will easily find ways to quarantine themselves from an epidemic and probably would not be too affected by it. Thirdly, since diseases don't know where our borders are, if we were successful in creating a bird flu epidemic in Iran, it would quickly spread to Iraq and Afghanistan, and then to any place that the soldiers there might want to go (like, say, the United Kingdom). And finally, using such methods of biological terrorism on the citizenry of Iran would cause a backlash from just about anybody who is against biological terrorism (i.e. pretty much everybody in the world). I can't see how the people responsible would not be convicted of genocide and deposed from power.
