Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran writes to UN, accusing US of “grotesque” interference in its internal affairs via “numerous absurd tweets”

Jan 4, 2018 7:55 am By Robert Spencer

How interesting that the Islamic Republic of Iran is offering exactly the same view of this as that offered by the American Left and the chief architects and defenders of the disastrous Iranian nuclear deal: Ben Rhodes, Susan Rice, et al.

“Iran protests: US accused of ‘grotesque’ interference,” BBC, January 4, 2018:

Iran has accused the US of “grotesque” interference in its internal affairs in a letter to the UN.

It said the US leadership, in “numerous absurd tweets, [had] incited Iranians to engage in disruptive acts” which violated international law.

Twenty-one people died in six days of protests sparked by Iran’s economic problems, which spanned several cities.

On Thursday state media focused on pro-government rallies after a second night without reports of major protests.

The unrest was initially over price rises and corruption but the focus quickly turned to the remote elite and particularly Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,

They are the largest protests since the disputed 2009 presidential election.

Why is Iran so upset about the US?

Since the protests broke out, US President Donald Trump has endorsed them, culminating on Wednesday with the suggestion that the US could offer “great support” to protesters.

This chimes with the conservative Iranian narrative which blames the protests in part on foreign powers including Israel, Saudi Arabia and the US.

In his letter, Iranian UN envoy Gholamali Khoshroo said the US had a track record of intervening in Iranian affairs.

However, he added, the current administration had “crossed every limit in flouting rules and principles of international law governing the civilised conduct of international relations”.

Despite professions of solidarity with the Iranian people, he said, the US had actually insulted them by banning ordinary Iranians from entering the US (under Mr Trump’s travel ban) and with Mr Trump’s refusal to certify an internationally agreed deal to limit Iran’s nuclear programme….

        They are not afraid of tweets. They are afraid of freedom of speech.

          Cry babies! Only they have the right to communicate THEIR one-sided opinions.

          They are demanding that the world submit to Shi’ite propaganda and that no one express any other opinion.

          They cannot stand and debate or defend their opinions, so they demand censorship.

    What could possibly be more GROTESQUE than the vile theocratic dictatorship of the barbarian mullahs?!

    “….the US had a track record of intervening in Iranian affairs….”

    Yes, particularly under Obama.

      Yes I wonder why they didn’t complain to the UN about all the money Obamao gave them? I still believe he committed treason and I wonder where our illustrious unbiased department of injustice is. Picking their noses and for something to do, switching fingers.

    Did the Iranian Mullahs just admit that they are scared of a tweet?

    Of course he says that, but Iran’s pointing finger has four fingers pointing back.

    …..

    And, anyway, how else does a Rebellion get supported?

    Death to Israel, Death to America. Death to Israel, Death to America, repeated over and over every week?
    Talk about interference. What is more grotesque than that you savage brain dead slaves to a non-existent allah.
    You kill 21 of your own citizens you murdering savages and then point your finger at America.

    Maybe we should stop using the acronym “UN” and start using the acronym “OIC.”

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 5, 2018 at 2:51 am

      An excellent idea, Flavius.

      People need to know who the UN REALLY represents, and stop thinking of it as a benign entity which has our best interests at heart.

    ……………..

    Now Tweets are interfering in Iran’s internal affairs? What a weak, brittle tyranny this is.

    Such interference by evîl united states Will no longer have impact to achieve the sinister designs of evil united states for regime change unlike before when CIA penetrated and instigated dissent to bring down governments. Idiots !!

    • Carolyne says

      It’s too bad that Jimmy Carter did interfere and helped depose the Shah. If the Ayatollahs are afraid of a few tweets, wait until they find out what we can really do.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 5, 2018 at 7:01 pm

      Is Ibrahim itace muhammed claiming the impending downfall of the United States again?

      Really, a day is not complete without at least one post from him announcing the immanent death of the ‘Great Satan’…
