Actually Iran would have been more believable or more accurately it would have been a surprise if they had claimed it was aliens.
If I remember correctly Iran has also formally arrested, convicted and shot a group of squirrels for spying for Israel. I also think they have claimed a plague of Locust was being guided by mind control beams from Israel. I think I've also read about several rants about the Christians and Jews causing the milk to sour in the heard animals.(Not sure if it was Iran or another nearby nation.)
ALSO there is this interpretation
It's pretty much common knowledge in the middle east that Iran is a big player in the Muslim terror going on world wide, usually when someone speaks up against it, especially in the middle east they can expect terror attacks aimed at them, but for Iran to claim it was the Jews means that for this moment they are not making the people shielding the Christians in Egypt a public target.
