World: Unceremonious firing of the day: Iran’s foreign minister gets ditched

  • So let’s say you’re going to get fired today. There are many ways your bosses could do it, from pink slips to boardroom hatchet jobs. But none of them might be as bad as what happened to Manouchehr Mottaki today. See, Mottaki, Iran’s foreign minister, was in FREAKING SENEGAL doing his job when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad decided to drop the axe. And while Ahmadinejad has wanted to do this for a while, he hasn’t been able to thanks to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader. Yo, Mahmoud: At least bring him home first before you do the deed. You ain’t no George Clooney, and this ain’t no “Up In The Air.” source

Politics: Hillary Clinton, Iranian foreign minister not feeling the love

  • I said ‘Hello, minister.’ He just turned away.
  • Secretary of State Hillary Clinton • On the icy reception she received from Iran’s foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, at a nuclear conference in Bahrain. He wouldn’t even look at her. Icy! Mottaki denies that he was rude to her and claims that he was trying to say hello to King Abdullah of Jordan. Next time they run into one another, they should give each other a big hug to emphasize the lack of hard feelings. source

World: Great Britain takes punch after punch from Iran’s leadership

  • Great Britain has plotted against the presidential election for more than two years. We witnessed an influx of people before the election. Elements linked to the British secret service were flying in in droves.
  • Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Manouchehr Mottaki • Regarding the real reason why Iran’s government is currently facing massive protests – because the U.K. planned the fallout. Uh, sure. British MP David Milliband, the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, wouldn’t take the bait: “I reject categorically the idea that the protesters in Iran are manipulated or motivated by foreign countries.” • source
