Iran finds a new “Great Satan”
Post ID #968 | RSS comments feed for this post
In the wake of protests over it's recent presidential elections, the Iranian government has reordered its list of enemies, shifting the United States role of "Great Satan" to Britain. Embassy staff have been expelled, on both sides and in Tehran, some local members of Britain's embassy are being put on trial for inciting riots. What's with all the recent animosity? It's speculated that Obama's less confrontation approach towards Iran has struck a positive note in the Middle East, forcing Tehran to ease up its animosity, at least publicly, toward America.
Considering that Britain and Iran have had issues with each other for centuries, and the close relationship between America and Britain, the "shift in Satan" almost seems natural.
