Iran made an official protest to the United States, via a Swiss intermediary, on Wednesday about what Tehran says is Washington's support for a group blamed for bombing an Iranian mosque, a news agency reported.
The charge d'affaires of the Swiss embassy, which handles U.S. interests in Iran, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and handed "evidence and documents" supporting Iran's allegations, the students news agency ISNA said.
Iran has said the United States, Britain and Israel were involved in the explosion in a mosque in the southern city of Shiraz in April that killed 14 people and wounded 200.
"Iran's strong protest was conveyed to (the charge d'affaires) about the free-ranging activities of a terrorist and anti-revolutionary group in America," ISNA said, quoting a senior Foreign Ministry official. It did not name the group.
"In this meeting, part of the evidence and documents related to the terrorist activities of this group was handed over to the Swiss charge d'affaires in order to present to American officials in charge," it added.
Washington was asked "to hand over the agents and leaders (of the group) ... to Iran for justice to be done," ISNA added.
Ok, first off, why not name the group? That's the first "red flag" of bullshit that anyone in their right mind would think. If they are a group that's supported by the United States, it would make perfect sense to publicly name them so that Iran could have some propaganda to use against us. The fact that they didn't speaks volumes about the truthfullness of this accusation.
Secondly, and this is more important, say we are supporting such a group of people, for the sake of the argument, who bombed a mosque and Iran wants us to hand them over. Where's our incentive to do so? Iran has supported Hezbollah and insurgent groups in Iraq that have murdered US soldiers. If Iran thinks we'd hand over people who're trying to undermine them, they must be out of their fucking minds.
Every time a bomb goes off in Iraq, a bomb should go off in Iran. Tit for tat. Sooner or later, Iran will catch a clue that we're not going to sit idly by while our guys get blown up. We will retaliate. Maybe not publicly, but we will retaliate.
As a side note, I'd LOVE to see their "evidence" that they have that not only the US, but Britain and Israel are also involved in bombing of a mosque. I mean, it makes perfect sense for all three nations to get together to bomb a house of worship.
Does their PR guy actually read their line of bullshit, or does he read it off the cuff and think "no one's going to buy this". Because truthfully, out of all the accusations that have come out of Iran, how many of them actually sound plausible? Really? Iran is having massive problems because of it's own doing. We tried to play nice, and then they decided to fuck with us. So, we take appropriate measures with world banks and such, and remind them the price for doing business in Iran, and then they wonder why their economy is in the toilet, unemployment is in double digits, and inflation is going past 15%.
Talk about the "great Satan" all you want, but we are the #1 economy, military, and industrial power in the world, and when we want to flex our muscle, we will. And we'll make your lives hell in doing so.
