Iran Demands US Apology, Cash Over Assassination Plot Charges

Iran is pushing back against U.S. efforts to strengthen sanctions against Tehran in response to an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington, demanding a public apology and unspecified monetary damages, an Iranian diplomat tells NBC News.

The Iranian demands were contained in a recent letter to the U.S., according to the diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity. It calls on the U.S. to apologize publicly to both the Islamic republic and officials of the Al Quds Force for “material and moral damages” caused by “this baseless accusation,” which it argues violated "international rules and regulations."

Tape a thank you letter to the front of a missile and send it speedy delivery.

If the US allegations were true,Then I agree with 10:46.If they were conjured up,then I would say that an apology is due them.The US is no different than anyone else.If the allegations were indeed baseless,then someone in the US is wrong and should make amends.
