This Politico piece made me chuckle yesterday. After years of calling Iran the top supporter of terrorism around, the Ayatollah swung back saying “he had 100 ‘undeniable’ documents connecting the US to terror acts in Iran and the Middle East.” He then called the the accusations about the Quds Force plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador on American soil “an ‘absurd terrorist scenario’ that was made to distract from the ongoing US financial crisis.” Then the US State Department returned fire, denying the accusations of terrorism in Iran and the Middle East as outrageous, then saying “This is just more rhetoric designed to deflect popular attention in Iran away from the failings of the Iranian government to meet the needs of its own people.”
What an esteemed level of diplomacy. I feel like getting in between and doing this.
