Iran rejects "vulgar" U.S. plot allegation

"Childish and amateur game"

Reuters - U.S. allegations that Iran plotted to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington are a "mischievous" attempt to fuel tension between Tehran and Riyadh, a senior Iranian official said on Wednesday. U.S. authorities said on Tuesday they had broken up a plot by two men linked to Iran's security agencies to kill the Saudi envoy, Adel al-Jubeir. One man was arrested last month while the other was believed to be in Iran. "These claims are vulgar ... It is a childish and amateur game," parliament speaker Ali Larijani told parliament in a speech broadcast live on state radio >>>



Hillary Clinton calls for a "very strong message" to be sent to Iran:

LOL, do you really think an American can tell the difference between Persian and Arabic?  Most Americans can't even tell the difference between Spanish and Italian.  According to most Americans: Arabs, Chinese, Persians, Afghans, Indians, Pakistanis, and Mexicans are all the same race.

I Think it is a time to teach IRI a very good lesson.

They have to leave from IRAN, sn or later.

Get rid of the IR by hook or by crook

by Simorgh5555 on

I share the doubts expressed in many of the cimments about the assassination plot but at the same time we so not know all the facts. The IR has assassinated has killed more political opponents thqn just Fereydun Farrokhzad and Shapur Bakhtiyar. Only two years ago a Zoroastrian academic was killed in Spain either by IR agents or its fanatics it inspires. It has also killed non Iranians including a Japanese interpreter of the Satanic Verses as well. It has committed terrorist outrages in restaurants, video shops and blinded a US based entertainer and TV host. This regime is audacious enough to carry out any reckless killing.
Whether this plot is genuine or otherwise does not concern me to be perfectly honest. If concoting a plot as a pretext for strategic military action and giving material support to the Iranian opposition then so be it. I do nit lies as a pretext for military action or the obsession with Iran's uclear ambitions I just want this evil regime to go. The only important thing for me is Iran. I could not care about the sacrifice or the cost to other countries including the USA who are accountable to some degree of propping up Khomeini and instigating the revolution.
Whatever the cost this regime must go. By hook or by crook.

So of course, the Regime would want the Mexicans to do the job. They are cheaper and work harder. This is an immigration problem not terrorism! I read a Funny comment also by Clinton, she was quoted as saying “You can’t make this up”, as if the very weirdness of the alleged plot was proof that it was true.  We’re in real trouble if “you can’t make this up” becomes our standard for sorting fact from fiction. Just incase anyone was thinking things would have been better had Hilary been President.

Terrorism, Mexican Style!

by G. Rahmanian on

During my recent trip to California I met this young Mexican-American whose family runs a few small businesses here and there. It was during our third encounter when he told me he was thinking of going back to school for his Master's degree in Terrorism and working for the family business was only temporary. I told him, jokingly, I'd give him my email address in case he needed help with his papers. He laughed and said, "Actually I'll be doing research on Mexican terrorism." With almost thirty thousand Mexicans killed in one year by members of the drug cartels, Mexicans do have their own brands of terrorists for hire.

Spy games

by choghok on

It is really tough to say who is telling the truth since both of the parts do lie and deceive. I thought about it a while and think that American version is closer to truth than IRI. This because they have a live person as proof. The US and world media can do their own investigation on the guy and other leads. If US was making this up it would blow up in their face then.

But it is also very amateur of IRI if that would be true.

 What is a fact is that IRI is going to be now even more isolated and now even by neighbouring Arab countries. The problems keep building up for IRI seems like, strange thing Ahmadi hasn't make a speech about this yet.

Please do not be so naive

by Delavar1 on

So far the Islamic Republic (IRR) has denied responsibilty for every terror attack and murder ever since their existance since 1979.They said that their terrorist gov. was not behind Killing Bakhtiar, Kurdish leaders , Forouhars, and even Mr. tabatabai in Washington. The IRR is definitely behind most terrorist attacks in the world today. IRR has also cathegorically denied accusations regarding bombings of the Israeli Embassy and the Jewish buliding in Argentina killing over 100 innocent lives.They even hire their Arab merceneries to do the dirty job for them. One thing they have not denied is Stoning/ Executing /Hanging innocent Iranians but they deny accusations of rape in Evin prison.

 They have created and suppror terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc. They are running terrorist bases in Africa. They even supprort the Taliban in their terrorist acts in Afghanistan. They have caused many casualties in Iraq by supplying the terrorists with IED, etc. A Member of Hezbollah whocurrently lives in Lebonon has been convicted of terroris acts against Americans.

There is no doubt in my mind that the IRR is responsible for this.

Why Hire Mexicans?

by Faramarz on

Anybody who has lived in the US in the past 10-20 years knows that the Mexicans are the ones who are doing all the hard jobs in this country. Even if you go to a Persian restaurant nowadays and look in the kitchen, you will see that Jose is the guy who is doing the great job of making the Koobideh stick to the Sikh! That’s something that most Iranians have difficulty with. So of course, the Regime would want the Mexicans to do the job. They are cheaper and work harder.

This is an immigration problem not terrorism!

Things that makes you go hmmmm....Smart eh?

by ali_aaa on

It is so smart of American that they waited for their hostages to get out of Iran, and then they moved on the Terrorists.

 

 Giddy up!

The accused is Arab according to his Texan neighbor!!

by Sheila K on

i just heard the accused's neighbor being interviewe­d on CNN, "...he spoke on his cell phone outside of his house a lot, not in English some other language..­.Arabic, I am sure...har­sh vowels and..." now that the neighbor has clarified this an Arab plot against another Arab--none of our business. He's not even an Iranian. case closed.

Makes no sense!

by farokh2000 on

The Mullahs are criminals, no question and should be thrown into the big Ocean.

At the same time, they are the creation of CIA, like Taleban are and they are NOT stupid. Otherwise, they would not have stayed there for over 30 years.

There are just too many holes in this story.

If they knew the men and their connections, why did they let them into the Country to begin with?

How these men connect with the under cover FBI in Mexico to hire and kill the Saudi Ambassador in U.S. and why?

How does this even make any sense!?
