The Islamic Republic of Iran's president is either simple, arrogant or both

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi
The German Newspaper Die Welt in a report regarding the suspicious explosions in Ahvaaz criticized the irresponsible comments of the Islamic Republic of Iran's authorities. The report took special issue with Ahmadinejad who had accused Britain of being responsible for the bombings, saying: "Ahmadinejad is either a simple, arrogant or both." Die Welt in condemning Ahmadinejad, wrote: "Of course the reason for this person's anguish and animosity is that he knows no one takes him seriously."

On Tuesday, Oct. 18th, Ahmadinejad, in a gathering of journalists, once again bluntly blamed Britain for the Friday Ahvaaz bombings and claimed: "The incident in Ahvaaz, had many similarities with other incidents in which we happen to know, Britain was also involved."
