Man of peace – Ayatollah Khamenei brought a Kalashnikov with him to Friday prayers in Iran.
Iranian regime Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei praised Barack Obama’s emphasis on diplomacy to resolve Iranian nuclear crisis.
The Jewish Journal reported, via Free Republic:
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, welcomed President Obama’s emphasis on diplomacy to resolve tensions over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
Iranian state TV reported Thursday that Khamenei had embraced Obama’s position that there was a “window of opportunity” to address the Iranian nuclear issue through diplomacy.
“This expression is a good word. This is a wise remark indicating taking distance from illusion,” Khamenei told a group of clerics, according to the Associated Press.
But Khamenei also accused the U.S. of forcing Iran to “bow through imposing sanctions,” which he said was an unrealistic approach.
“It will lead their calculations to failure,” he said.
