They provide loads of humour. Iran’s ‘Friday Prayers Leader’ says no one should interfere in the arrested British sailors issue:
“Britain is an aggressor and Iran has confronted it. Therefore, no third party — neither the United Nations Security Council nor any country — has the right to interfere in the issue. They should be aware that their interference will make the matter more difficult and complicated,” he said.
Addressing Britain and the country’s enemies, the prayers leader said that Iranian border guards will tackle any aggression against Iran’s borders.
How’s that for lum pah (see earlier post about British and Iranian lum pah). AGGRESSOR. ENEMIES. I think it’s funny that in the British press, the claim that the sailors were arrested in Iraqi waters is virtually fact, and in Iran,
“Based on the information obtained from the British Global Positioning System (GPS), the arrested British servicemen themselves admitted to trespassing Iran’s territorial waters,” he added.
Does anyone in Iran really believe the bad propaganda that the sailors have been speaking freely? The Iranian lum pah must be so big they can’t walk.
